Use case · feature requests

A feature request tool people can use without an account.

Collect requests in one board and see which ideas have the most support. People submit and vote without creating an account, and those who leave an email can hear when a request ships.

What it is

What is a feature request tool, and what does it replace?

It gives requests, votes, comments and statuses one shared place. People can see what has already been asked, and your team can see which requests have support.

Requests otherwise sit across support threads, chat channels and spreadsheets, where the next person cannot find them or add a vote. A board keeps them visible and ranked, and it asks for less than an issue tracker: a short description and an email, no account.

Submitting and voting

How do people submit and vote without creating an account?

People vote without an account or an email. Submitting a request needs a short description and an email for later updates. Both are part of the free plan.

The board shows requests in vote order. You can require an email to vote when follow-up matters more than reach, and the no-login voting page explains the vote controls.

From request to release

How does a request get from posted to shipped?

Fewer duplicates
Before a request is added, people see up to three close matches and can support one of those instead. Duplicates that get through can be merged, with votes and comments kept together.
A clear status
Each request shows whether it is requested, planned, in progress, completed or declined. The roadmap groups the same requests by status.
Updates for the people who asked
People who leave an email can get a reply to their request and a message when it ships. They follow it without creating an account.
A changelog from completed work
Completed requests can become a changelog draft built from their titles and descriptions. Your team edits it, publishes it on the board, and can email subscribers.

Three boards that exist today

Who is it for?

A software team
WorkMirror runs its board inside its mileage-log product, and support and sales add requests for customers by email. One request reached 45 votes while the next had 11. Read WorkMirror’s story
A community or creator
3D Fast Track links its board from its Discord server. Members vote on which guides get written and which designs get made, without creating an account. Read the story
An internal team
Commentsell keeps ideas, bugs and internal work on one board and moves each through the statuses to done. Boards can also be private to your team. Read Commentsell’s story

Pricing

What does it cost?

The free plan is permanent, not a trial. It includes 15 active requests and asks for no card. A request stops counting once it is completed or declined. Past the limit, requests keep arriving but your team cannot add new ones until you upgrade or close some; nothing is deleted. If you move an existing backlog onto the board, expect to reach 15 on day one.

Paid plans raise that limit and the number of people one notification can reach. Growth is $9 a month, billed yearly as $108, for 50 active requests. Pro is $29 a month, billed yearly as $348, with no limit. A Lifetime plan, everything in Pro for one payment of $239, is on offer for early adopters. Full detail on the pricing page.

Where it stops

When is another tool the better choice?

A larger platform such as Canny or Featurebase fits better when prioritisation depends on revenue or CRM data for each voter, or when you need a Jira or Linear sync, single sign-on or audit logs. A chat poll is enough for one question with fixed answers. And when every vote must be tied to one person, anonymous voting is the wrong shape: it keeps everyday duplicate votes out, but it cannot enforce that standard.

Questions, answered short

What else do people ask before they start?

Do people need an account to submit a request?

No. Voting needs nothing at all. A request needs a short description and an email, so the person can hear when it ships. Comments ask for an email as well.

Can it live inside my app?

Yes. Embed the board on a page, or put a button in your app that opens the request form in a panel. A Hidden board opens through your embed while its bare link stays closed, which suits a product behind a login.

How do I move an existing list onto the board?

There is no bulk import today. Existing requests are added one at a time, and a customer’s email can be recorded as a vote on each.

How reliable is the vote count without accounts?

The count blocks repeat votes from the same browser, though clearing browser data allows another vote. Requiring an email, or limiting the board to a Patreon campaign or a Discord server, makes it stricter.

Can the board be private?

Yes. A board can be public, unlisted, hidden behind your embed’s access key, or private to your team. A single request can also be marked private.
