What is Votera by Ownware?

Votera is a self-hosted product-feedback board you install on your own server (PHP 8 + MySQL or SQLite, two-minute web installer, no Composer) and buy once — no subscription.

Customers suggest ideas, vote on them, and follow a public roadmap and changelog. Voting is one vote per browser key enforced by a unique database index (or one per verified email in email mode), backed by a per-IP hourly rate limit and an admin vote-velocity panel so unusual voting spikes are visible instead of silent. Admins merge duplicate ideas, set roadmap statuses, and pin official responses.

Hosted feedback tools bill by "tracked users" that never reset, so the bill climbs exactly as the roadmap gets traction. Votera is a one-time purchase with unlimited voters and ideas, running on your own hardware — your customers' feedback data never leaves your server.

Honest boundaries: single project per install; voter identity is an anonymous per-browser cookie key, not a full user-account system; no built-in email notifications in 1.x (the changelog is the public record); team members beyond the first admin are added directly in the database. A live demo is available.
