Self-hosted alternatives to Nolt

Nolt is a feedback board tool with a Kanban view, a roadmap and a changelog for collecting and managing user requests. Two listed apps do its main job and run in your own Cloudflare account.

Each answer comes from the app’s README and source code, compared with the features Nolt describes on its own site.
