How to vibe codeSavio
Centralize customer feedback. Prioritize feature requests.

The verdict: can you vibe code Savio?
You can build a functional internal feedback vault and prioritization dashboard in a couple of weeks, but maintaining all the CRM and support desk OAuth integrations will consume ongoing developer hours.
Savio is fundamentally a specialized CRM for product feedback with a heavy integration footprint. The core CRUD workflows, tagging, filtering by customer MRR, and roadmapping UI are straightforward to generate with AI assistants in a Next.js and Postgres stack. However, the real engineering grind lies in building and maintaining bi-directional webhook sync workers and OAuth credential management for Intercom, HubSpot, Zendesk, and Jira. If you scope down your clone to rely on CSV imports, API keys, and manual logging rather than live OAuth syncs for every support tool, you can build a highly usable personal tool in under three weeks.
Estimated effort: 2-3 weeks of part-time building
What you can't replicate
- Official maintenance-free native integrations with Intercom, Salesforce, and HubSpot
- An existing user base of customer-facing teams actively logging live data

The hard parts of vibe coding Savio
- Maintaining robust, authenticated real-time API integrations and OAuth sync workers with fast-moving external SaaS platforms (HubSpot, Intercom, Salesforce, Zendesk)

Build guide
01Project Scaffolding & Database Schema
Initialize the Next.js application with Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, and set up the Neon Postgres database schema for accounts, customers, feedback verbatims, feature requests, and roadmaps.
Scaffold a new Next.js 16 application using App Router, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and standard directory structure. Configure Drizzle ORM to connect with Neon Postgres. Create the initial database schema supporting the following tables: 'accounts' (id, name, mrr, plan_tier, lifecycle_stage), 'feedback_items' (id, account_id, verbatim_text, source, author_email, created_at), 'feature_requests' (id, title, description, status, product_area, created_at), 'feedback_mappings' (id, feedback_id, feature_request_id), and 'roadmaps' (id, title, description, feature_id, target_quarter). Ensure proper foreign key constraints, indexes on account MRR and feature request statuses, and run initial migrations.02Authentication & Team User Roles
Implement authentication using better-auth with support for multi-tenant workspace roles (Admin, Manager, Contributor, Viewer).
Install and configure better-auth in the Next.js application with email/password authentication backed by the Neon Postgres database. Implement user roles ('owner', 'admin', 'manager', 'contributor', 'viewer') following Savio's permission model where managers and admins have write access while contributors and viewers have scoped view/logging permissions. Build a clean login and signup page layout using Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui components.03Feedback Inbox & Ingestion API
Build the Feedback Inbox interface and an inbound webhook/API endpoint to ingest customer feedback verbatims and associate them with customer accounts.
Create a secure API endpoint (/api/v1/feedback) that accepts incoming JSON payloads containing customer feedback verbatims, account telemetry (MRR, plan tier, account name), and source metadata. Automatically match or create account records in the database and insert the feedback into an unassigned 'Feedback Inbox' queue. Build a React dashboard page displaying the Feedback Inbox with filtering by source and date, allowing users to select individual verbatims and assign them to existing Feature Requests or create new ones on the fly.04Feature Request Prioritization & Segmentation Dashboard
Develop the core prioritization engine and UI allowing product managers to sort and filter feature requests by aggregated customer MRR, plan tier, and request count.
Build the Feature Request prioritization dashboard page in Next.js. Create a server-side query and UI table that aggregates feature requests, showing total linked feedback count, total unique accounts, and cumulative MRR from associated accounts. Implement multi-dimensional filtering controls in the sidebar allowing users to filter feature requests by plan tier (e.g., Enterprise, Pro, SMB), customer lifecycle stage (Active, Churned, Prospect), and minimum account MRR threshold. Ensure responsive table sorting by MRR and request volume.05Roadmap Builder & Voting Board
Implement the internal product roadmap view and a customer-facing public voting board with status tracking.
Build a kanban-style Product Roadmap view where feature requests can be dragged or assigned to status columns ('Backlog', 'Planned', 'In Progress', 'Shipped'). Create a public voting board page (/board) where external users or internal colleagues can view public feature requests, vote on them, and submit new feedback verbatims directly. Add a toggle in the admin settings to hide vote counts or display features in alphabetical order to avoid popularity bias.06Close-the-Loop Email Broadcasting & Polish
Integrate Resend to allow product managers to broadcast personalized 'feature shipped' notification emails to all customers who requested a specific feature.
Integrate Resend SDK into the Next.js backend. Create a 'Close the Loop' feature action on shipped feature requests that compiles a list of unique requester emails from all linked feedback items. Build an email composition modal allowing product managers to write a personalized update message, preview recipient counts, and dispatch batch notification emails asynchronously via server actions with error handling and delivery status logging.
