{gettext("Feature requests, voting and a public roadmap")}

{gettext( "Most feature requests never reach a board. They arrive in a support thread, a Slack DM, or a sentence at the end of a call, and they die there because writing them down is somebody's second job." )}

{gettext( "Upvoted gives you a public board your users can post to directly, and an embeddable widget that puts the same box inside your own product. One line of script, no iframe, no redirect — a user requests a feature without ever leaving the page they were on, which is the only reliable way to catch the request at the moment someone has it." )}

{gettext( "Boards are unlimited, so a second product does not mean a second subscription, and you can run private boards for internal work alongside public ones. If feedback arrives somewhere Upvoted cannot see, the API and signed webhooks let you push it in from wherever it landed." )}

{gettext( "A list of requests is not a priority order. Without votes, the roadmap gets decided by whoever emailed most recently or argued hardest in the meeting, and neither of those correlates with what your users need." )}

{gettext( "Every request on an Upvoted board can be voted on by anyone — no account required, with email verification available if you want the numbers to stay honest. Votes, comments and duplicates collapse into a single ranked list you can read in ten seconds." )}

{gettext( "The part most tools miss: your team's votes are tracked separately from your users'. Collaborators on a board vote privately, and those votes are counted apart from public ones. That distinction is where the useful conversations start — when internal and external demand agree you have a clear mandate, and when they diverge you have found an assumption worth examining before you spend a quarter on it." )}

{gettext( "Tags, statuses and per-board stats let you slice the list by theme, see how demand moves over time, and spot the requests that keep resurfacing under different names." )}

{gettext( "The reason users stop submitting feedback is not that they ran out of ideas. It is that the last three things they asked for disappeared into a form and were never mentioned again." )}

{gettext( "Your roadmap is public by default, so anyone who voted can see where their request sits without asking. When something ships, the release notes live next to the requests that drove it, and everyone who voted is notified — in the product, by email, or in Slack." )}

{gettext( "That loop is the whole point. A user who gets told their request shipped submits the next one, and a roadmap people can read is a support channel that answers \"are you ever going to build X\" without anyone writing a reply." )}

{gettext( "Feedback is only useful where your team already works. Slack notifications carry the full request, its vote count and its status. Zapier and viaSocket connect the board to several thousand other tools, so a new request can open a Linear issue or a Notion row without anyone copying text between tabs." )}

{gettext( "For anything those do not cover, custom webhooks send signed HMAC-SHA256 events to any endpoint you control, with a delivery log and replay-safe signatures, so you can build exactly the automation you need and verify that every payload came from us." )}
