Feedback and Roadmap Board
Collect feature requests, let users vote, close the loop automatically on ship.
Problem & target users
Product teams collect requests in a spreadsheet, never tell requesters when something ships, and lose the goodwill.
Who it's for: Small SaaS teams, product managers, open-source maintainers.
Proposed solution
A public board where users post and vote on requests, a linked roadmap, and automatic notification to every voter when an item ships.
Features
- Public voting board with duplicate merging
- Roadmap columns linked to requests
- Changelog with automatic voter notification
- In-app widget for collection
- Segment tagging by plan or revenue
Difficulty & tech stack
Difficulty: Beginner
Monetization & pricing
- Freemium
- Subscription by board count and branding removal
Suggested pricing: Free one public board, Pro $15/mo (branding removal, widget), Business $49/mo.
Customer acquisition
Each hosted board is a backlink and a signup surface; plus SEO on 'feature request tool' comparisons.
First 10 customers: Give free Pro to ten small SaaS products you admire in exchange for keeping the 'powered by' link for three months.
