Can AI replace Feedspace?

The form, the queue, the wall and the embed widget are one sitting, as the two tools here show. What is not: 150+ sources with 120+ on auto-sync, on an extraction engine Feedspace owns in-house, and widgets that fill themselves from curation rules. Only collecting written reviews through your own form? Build it. Want the ones you have elsewhere kept current? Don't.

02Could AI build it for you?

The core job: A public form collects a written, video or audio review, you approve it, and saved filters decide which approved reviews appear on each embeddable widget and hosted wall page.

What a working version needs:

  • a small always-on host
  • somewhere to keep uploaded video and audio
  • ffmpeg to convert recordings into a web-playable file

The collection form in the middle is a weekend · the 150+ source fetch engine and the curation rules either side of it are not.

03What you'd give up

  • 150+ review sources with 120+ on auto-sync, on an extraction engine Feedspace owns and runs in-house
  • the upkeep · sources change and keeping the fetching working is someone else's job
  • rule-based curation · matching new reviews join a widget or wall page by themselves, so the embed never goes stale
  • in-browser video and audio recording that works on mobile without an app, and the media pipeline behind it
  • aggregate rating badges that stay accurate because the auto-syncs keep feeding them

Because the hand-built version decays. A wall you assemble yourself is accurate the week you build it and stale three months later, the newest review sitting in an inbox nobody pasted from. Here neither end stays manual: reviews arrive on their own, rules decide what reaches the widget. Rebuilding it means owning the fetching, not just the form.

05The build prompt

Paste this into an AI coding tool (such as Claude, ChatGPT, Lovable or Replit) to build your own version.

prompt.txt
Build me a testimonial system for my own site where the wall keeps itself up to date. Requirements:

- Python 3 with FastAPI, SQLite via sqlite3, Jinja2 for server-rendered HTML, and local disk for
  uploads. Single process, no Docker, no signup flow, no tenants. It serves one site: mine.
- Collection page: a shareable link taking a star rating, a written quote, and optionally a video
  or audio take recorded in the browser. Ask for name, role, company and a photo, let me mark which
  of those are required, and stop recordings at three minutes.
- Re-encode recordings to MP4 with a thumbnail in a worker off the request path, keeping the
  original. If ffmpeg is absent, store the upload and flag it rather than failing the submission.
- Moderation screen at /inbox behind an .env password: newest first, approve or bin, plus free-text
  labels I can attach to a review.
- Now the part I actually care about. A display is either a hand-picked list or a saved filter. A
  filter can require a minimum rating, a media type, a photo on the reviewer, a job title, a named
  company, one of my labels, a phrase that must appear, and a phrase that must not.
- When a review is approved, every filter it satisfies picks it up immediately, with no republish
  step. Each display shows whether it is filtered or hand-picked and how many reviews it resolves to.
- Let me override a filtered display by pinning up to three reviews to the front of it.
- Embedding: a one-line script tag plus an empty div. Attach a shadow root and inject markup the
  server already rendered, so the host theme cannot restyle it and the quotes sit in the response.
- Three presentations: a masonry grid, a swipeable row, and a slow vertical ticker. Theme, accent
  and radius come off data- attributes.
- A standalone wall at /wall with my logo, a call to action, and Review plus AggregateRating
  structured data emitted from the same query that renders the cards.
- A score badge: rounded average and total count, recalculated whenever a review is approved or removed.
- Public endpoints get a per-IP throttle and an invisible decoy field, since anything with a form
  attracts bots.
- README covering the embed snippet, the .env keys, and running it behind nginx with a TLS cert.
- Not building: fetching reviews I already have on Google, Trustpilot, G2, Yelp or an app store, or
  polling them for new ones. That is a parser per platform plus someone maintaining them, which is
  not a weekend. Teammates and outbound review-request email are out too.
