You ever report a bug or suggest a feature and just… nothing happens?
No reply. No update. Not even a “we’ll look into it.”
It’s not that your feedback wasn’t valid. It’s that it got buried in a system that was never designed to act on it.
CanDevsDoSomething is built for exactly this problem.
What is CanDevsDoSomething?
CanDevsDoSomething is a platform that gives developers a loud, clear voice. It’s where you go when the “Submit Feedback” button does nothing. A place built by devs for devs who are tired of getting ignored by the tools they rely on every day.
less shouting into the void, more crowd-backed, AI-boosted feedback that gets attention.
What does it actually do?
It’s a platform where developers post real frustrations with tools, products, or platforms they use and instead of vanishing into a black hole, those posts become part of a public, community-backed list.
It’s not just you saying “this sucks.” It’s you + 10 other devs, with upvotes, real examples, and shared pain.
And yeah, it’s visible to the people who actually build those tools.
That’s pressure.
Tools don’t exist in silos. Neither should dev pain.
There’s always that tool you need to use but secretly hate. You don’t leave a review. You don’t open an issue.
You just… suffer.
This platform says: don’t suffer alone.
If other devs are frustrated with the same thing, there’s a better chance it gets fixed when it’s all in one place.
🧩 How It Works
- Post Your Frustration or Request : Whether it’s a missing feature, an annoying UX quirk, or a bug that’s been haunting you.
- AI Context Assist : Your post isn’t just dropped in raw. The platform enhances it with relevant citations and details that make it easier to understand (and harder to ignore).
- Upvotes From the Dev Community : When other developers face the same issue, their upvotes push your post up the priority chain.
- Track Responses from Companies : The platform lets companies respond and mark progress so users can follow up on what’s being fixed.
No fluff, no tickets lost in support inboxes just clear, organized, high-signal feedback.
Okay, but how’s that different from GitHub issues or support forms?
Good question.
- Support forms are isolated. No one sees what others have submitted.
- GitHub issues can help, but only if the repo’s active and the maintainers care.
- Reddit or forums might get traction, but they’re messy and hard to track.
CanDevsDoSomething puts it all in one place searchable, shareable, and backed by others.
You don’t need to shout. You just post once and let the community do the rest.
What happens after I post?
You share your frustration. The platform auto-adds helpful context (like links, summaries, maybe even previous related posts). People can upvote, add details, or comment.
And companies? They can reply, mark things fixed, or completely ignore it but if they do, that’s visible too.
It’s not about canceling anyone. It’s just showing who listens and who doesn’t.
Is it only about complaints?
Not at all.
You’ll also find:
- Newly shipped indie projects by the same devs posting their feedback
- Discussions about the tools we all use, hate, or secretly love
- A vibe that feels more like late-night Discord than a corporate feedback portal
Who’s behind this?
A solo indie dev who’s clearly been through it. The design is fast, dark-themed, distraction-free very much made for builders. No upsells, no marketing fluff. Just a tool that gives your frustration a better place to live.
Should you try CanDevsDoSomething?
If you’ve ever filed a bug report and wondered why you bothered, yes.
If you’re building something and want to learn how people actually feel about the tools they use also yes.
