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

I've been using Cycle ever since I joined Lazy and it's seriously changed the way I think about capturing feedback and making it actionable. Cycle makes it so easy to turn feedback into actionable insights that can be addressed in product incredibly quickly. All while still ensuring that your customers are kept in the loop when you launch features addressing their feedback πŸ™ The team are fantastic too - incredibly attentive with teams using Cycle and always supportive to see how they can make feedback capture even better! If you haven't already I highly suggest checking them out - you won't regret it!
Mehdi Boudoukhane
@calum my man! Thanks so much for your kind words. We're so grateful to have you as a power user of Cycle. You help us raise the bar, your feedback is always πŸ’Ž Count on us to keep closing the loop with you at each release πŸ’ͺ

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.

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
@christophepas thanks so much, man! I must say you had a HUGE impact on Cycle. Our product convos inspired me so much. You helped us simplify the product a ton πŸ”₯ I'm grateful for your support!

@valentin_haarscher our shipping velocity is our secret weapon πŸ€“

@mboudoukhane @valentin_haarscher Thanks for the kind words!

Love the latest launch! It's crazy how Slack has become a central place through which all information flows thanks to their integrations, but that creates a need to extract key information out of Slack to actually use it. Love how Cycle is doing that workflow, extracting user feedback nested in Slack, and making it actionnable. Can't wait to test it out.
Mehdi Boudoukhane
@patricia_bsc_kairn Thank you so much! πŸ’― Slack has become the nervous system of so many companies but it's so hard to extract signal in all that noise. Hopefully, we can help a bit 😁 Can't wait to have your feedback on the product!

@patricia_bsc_kairn Thanks so much for the support!!

The Cycle team is back with a massive update... I checked out the changelog, and it's clear these guys are constantly pushing the boundaries! πŸš€ The app is soooo well polished and the experience of using Cycle is an absolute delight. Every aspect of the tool is crafted with care and attention to detail. ✨ The app is soooo useful to capture feedback, extract insights, and communicate releases. πŸ”„ The new Slack app is the real star of the show as it makes collecting feedback smooth as f**k. I am really impressed with the progress the team made since the initial launch. I can't wait to see how the app will revolutionise how teams handle feedback to create better products and make customers happy. Keep pushing! πŸ’ͺ🏻

@tom_nguy Thank you so much! You were among the very first ones to trust us, even when the product was still very sketchy. We're lucky to have you in the community. I can't wait to continue our product brainstorms – there's always something amazing coming out of them!

Simo Lemhandez
Impressive job team!!! Big fan from day 1. There is no tool that lets you manage feedbacks so easily, bring them all in one place and map them to the right customers and close the feedback loop in time. It has created so many sales opportunities for us!
Mehdi Boudoukhane
@simolemhandez thanks a lot! Closing the loop is indeed where Cycle differentiates the most :-) We see feedback not as a way to figure out what to build but rather as a way to develop product sense and build trust with customers πŸ’™
James de Wasseige
@simolemhandez Thanks for the kind words! Closing the feedback loop is the way to keep your customer close to you and attract new ones!

Slack can truly be a pain sometimes with all those messages that have to be read. Glad you made this product! Congrats, ?markers, for launching Cycle 2.0! πŸ€β˜€οΈ

@thibautnyssens this also marks your first anniversary in the story of Cycle! πŸŽ‚

@rohitjoshi thank you so much, can't wait to get your feedback πŸ”₯
Charlotte Chiang
Great job team, congrats on the launch! Took a look at the website & loving your product manifesto :) Is the idea here that we need to onboard our community to slack and Cycle will pick up/digest the feedback? Or is it an integration with other customer feedback tools? If the latter, with which tools is the integration possible? Thanks!
Jeffrey Delronge
@charmandro Thank you! Cycle is your product hub. So all your Product job can be done there (capture feedback, collaborate on roadmaps, and communicate your releases). You can capture feedback from Slack, but also get updates on the status and the releases from there. Regarding the feedack sources, we already have Slack, Hubspot, Intercom, Chrome, Zapier, Linear, GitHub & email native integrations. With the chrome integration you can fetch any text from the web. What's more we also have a public API in beta that enables you to integrate with any other platform you'd like.
Mehdi Boudoukhane
@charmandro you can do both: install the integration on your Slack community and / or connect Cycle to other tools like Intercom, HubSpot, Email, etc.
