v1.x - Various improvements

This is the next iteration of Upvoted, building upon our initial launch with refined features and enhanced functionality. We’ll add everything missing on V1.

Features

Image upload

User can attach an image while creating a new feature

Add a Kanban like view

It would be great to choose between current board view and a Kanban board, with each status as column header

Expandible description
Features with a very long text should be truncated and expanded on click.
Anonymous users should be notified when there are updates to their feature requests

Add a 'Keep me updated' flag to the feature request submission form and send update emails accordingly. Consider how to prevent spam and the use of fake email addresses.

Load only 10 cards per status, and add a "load more" to fetch the others.

This is especially useful with the 'published' status, which can contain tons of cards.

Board slug renaming

Currently, it's not possible to rename a board's slug after it's been initially set. I would like the option to change it at a later time.

Add a showcase directory with all public boards

This could be useful to let guests vote on many boards, for example for opensource projects.

Custom fields

Are you planning to add custom fields for feature requests?

User customizable statuses

Users should be able to customize statuses for each board to match their workflow.

Filtering & ordering

It would be nice to be able to filter out some columns, especially in a kanban view

WYSIWYG editor on description

Please add a WYSIWYG or a Markdown editor on description.

Logged in users should be able to upvote or comment on public dashboards wout email

Even if I'm not a collaborator, once logged in I would like to upvote or comment on any public dashboard without filling my name/email

Sorting of columns

Please add sorting of columns by feature create date or by votes.

Drag & Drop

Let's add support for moving cards between statuses with drag & drop. Same for dynamic statuses.

Add tagging to requested features

Right now it can't be possible to add some custom tags to features. It could be useful to add this option and to let users filter by them.

Add more details for admins when they opens a feature request

created at contributor

Notify collaborators via email when new updates occurs

Same as realtime notifications, but with email
