Thanks a lot @holman for hunting us and for believing in Cycle since Day 1 – your help has been invaluable! 🚲⚑️ Hey Product Hunt, Mehdi here, founder @ Cycle πŸ‘‹ A year ago, we launched Cycle for the first time. Even though we still had a waitlist, we were floored by the response. The months that followed, we onboarded hundreds of teams while continuing to polish every corner of the product’s experience. We now have 500+ companies using Cycle as their main feedback hub. The Product Hunt community is a big reason why we were able to make it through the hard times so HUGE thank you πŸ’™ What’s Cycle again? Cycle is the most delightful way to capture feedback, extract insights, create roadmaps, and communicate your releases. We basically make it easy for you and your team to turn messy feedback into customer love. With Cycle, you close the feedback loop at each release. When a feature gets shipped, Cycle automatically communicates with folks who requested it. On top of making customers feel special, it has a huge impact on retention – users simply don’t churn when they feel taken care of. Today we are launching a brand new version of Cycle: Cycle 2.0. We’ve been making a ton of product updates – have a look at our changelog, the velocity is ridiculous πŸ‘‰ https://www.cycle.app/changelog – but the main focus of this launch is our new Slack app. You can now capture feedback and engage with customers, all without leaving Slack. Get started in 2 minutes: connect your Slack workspace, pick a channel, capture your first feedback, and start enjoying the ride. It’s free but if you want to connect extra sources like Intercom, email or Zapier, you can upgrade to Cycle Pro – let us know you found us on Product Hunt and we’ll give you a 50% discount off the base fee for your first three months ✌️ Ok, enough rambling. Try it for yourself today: https://cycle.app/slack. If you have any feedback, please share it with us so we can close the loop with you at each release πŸ€— AMA! I'm around πŸ™Œ PS: if you love crazy animations, you should have a look at our new website – we had a lot of fun shipping it πŸ‘‰ https://www.cycle.app/ PPS: before you sign up, we kindly advise you to read our product manifesto – if the principles resonate with you, there’s a good chance you’ll love the product πŸ‘‰ https://cycle.app/manifesto #DropTheM

Excited about this launch @mboudoukhane!! Amazing to see how the app structure has evolved lately to make it weirdly simple for product teams to manage their feedback system! πŸ™Œ

@holman @mboudoukhane That was not an easy path but damn I'm so proud of what we built so far πŸ”₯ Congrats to the team, you're making this path easier and more enjoyable each day! πŸ’™

@james_de_wasseige Thank you! The product wouldn't be what it's become without you. Thanks for your trust, man πŸ”₯

Working on this project with you @mboudoukhane is an amazing experience! I can't say how amazed I am to see the progress from the first version of Cycle to what it has become with Cycle 2.0. The transformation is truly awe-inspiring. From day one, your dedication, vision, and unwavering belief in Cycle have been the driving forces behind our success. Collaborating with you has been a privilege, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to be part of this journey. The gap between the initial version and Cycle 2.0 is mind-blowing. The hard work, relentless iteration, and commitment to refining every aspect of the product's experience have paid off tremendously. Thank you @holman for your unwavering support. Your belief in Cycle's potential has been invaluable, and it has propelled us forward, even during challenging times. Let's continue to push the boundaries, innovate, and make Cycle the best feedback and communication platform out there. The possibilities are endless, and I'm excited to see where our journey takes us next.

@holman @mboudoukhane I'm proud of what we've accomplished since our first launch by creating an incredible product with a great team.
Zach Holman
Hey y'all! I’ve been following Cycle since the beginning, and it's so rad to see Cycle 2.0 a year following their first launch on Product Hunt. Building products is literally the greatest thing ever, but then you get your first user and you're stuck having to deal with *users*. Gross. Personally, I try to build products with zero users and you'll never have any bugs or issues! If, on the off chance you do want to build something for actual humans to use, dealing with those users and their feedback is really the whole ballgame. And it's a huge stress point, because you want to spend hours on every piece of actionable feedback and really connect with your customers, but the more time you do that, the less time you have building the damn thing. That's why I initially invested in Cycle, and that's why I'm so stoked about what they've been building. Support was a big deal when I was at GitHub and GitLab, and ChatOps was no different- that Cycle lets you just react to a Slack message with an emoji and that ties into the original product feedback thread is just... well, *chef's kiss* (actually, why isn't that a real emoji anyway?) As a side note: big fan of Cycle's Manifesto, too. Really explains the core behind their impeccable product design and engineering sense. πŸ‘‰ https://cycle.app/manifesto

Absolutely massive, really great job on the past months @mboudoukhane and team. The product got soo freaking clean and polished, but more importantly the value prop is so much clearer than in the past, when you land on the app, the dots connect in your mind instantly. Really amazing to see, great job!!
Mehdi Boudoukhane

we've been using cycle since day 1 here at Contrast :-) we got rid of product board and notion because of it. cycle is easy to use yet flexible. it grows with us as we scale. what i love about the product is that it's well-designed. the team takes a lot of pride in the tiny details.
Mehdi Boudoukhane
@luukdejonge We're so grateful to have you part of the Cycle family. It's so awesome to partner with product folks like you. We share the same philosophy, your bar is high, and you help us make Cycle better every day. You're right, we do take pride in the tiny details πŸ₯° They make the difference!
James de Wasseige
@luukdejonge we know you know! Thanks a lot for all your continuous support and feedback β€” looking forward to our upcoming discussions!

This looks like it might be a fantastic addition to my toolbox and a well-balanced solution for working with feedback and all the steps related to it. However, the website is entirely overwhelming. I'm trying to understand the product, but instead of some good videos or good overviews, it's just animations all over the place and snippets of what the product is. I tried to get a grasp of the whole picture and gave up. The fact that I'm writing this should be considered a signal that I'm intrigued, but I don't know when I'll have the energy to try and grasp this product again.
Mehdi Boudoukhane
@teddyzetterlund hey Teddy, I'm sorry you found the website overwhelming. Maybe you can watch this 5 min product demo where I try to explain briefly and clearly what Cycle is all about: https://www.tella.tv/video/clenx... Also happy to hook you up with a product demo any time if it makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, appreciate it! πŸ™Œ
Teddy Zetterlund
@mboudoukhane Thanks! I'll have a look. I'm going on vacation for some weeks tomorrow, but if I think this is interesting I'll get in touch.
Mehdi Boudoukhane
@teddyzetterlund Awesome, enjoy your vacation and reach out any time! ✌️

Andy Budd
Hey @mboudoukhane congrats on the @Cycle launch. I've met a few teams who have hacked together their own solution for keeping tabs on feature requests using Slack, so it's great to see a more consumer level option make it into the market. Keep up the good work.
Mehdi Boudoukhane
@cycle @andybudd Thanks so much, Andy – means the world coming from you.

Congrats on the launch! Love the product manifesto, especially this "Ship it only if you’re proud enough to put your name on it" which I often mention to our team :)
Mehdi Boudoukhane
@stevenfabre Thanks a lot! Oh yeah "Ship it only if you’re proud enough to put your name on it" is one of my favorites!

Zachary DeWitt
Awesome to see! What are the killer use cases?
Mehdi Boudoukhane
@zachary_dewitt Thank you so much! The killer use case is closing the feedback loop at each release! People love it because it creates transparency and engagement. Cycle is the only product in the market that truly helps teams close the loop with their customers :-)

Feedback fatigue Is real! Such a pain to organise. But I don't understand how this tool works exactly. Is it like google forms in slack or? I guess that's my question / feedback. Thanks. Huge pain killer if this works as the marketing describes! πŸš€
Martin Delobbe
@sentry_co slack is just one of the sources we support, you can actually send feedback from many sources into Cycle. Once there you can link it to your delivery workflow and get notified in slack (or any other source) whenever the feature has been shipped :) In Slack, you can either use the shortcut, the command, the reactji or even the channel automations to collect the feedback, what suits you best!
Mehdi Boudoukhane
@sentry_co Google forms in Slack is a great way to describe it! We made capturing feedback from super fast. But you can also connect other sources like your support tool, your CRM or even Zapier to connect to any kind of feedback form. All of your product feedback, all in one place.
