About this template
This template gives your team a shared board for submitting, voting on, and tracking feature requests. Anyone can propose an idea with a title, description, and category. The rest of the team votes it up or down, and the most popular requests rise to the top.
Each request includes a status (new, under review, planned, in progress, shipped) that admins can update as work progresses. Team members can leave comments on any request to discuss scope, feasibility, or alternatives.
Upvote includes role-based access control with admin, moderator, and user roles. Admins can update statuses, edit or delete any request, and moderate the board. All users can submit ideas, vote, and comment.
Authentication is built in — users sign up with email or Google OAuth, verify their email, and get access to the board. User profiles display names and avatars across the app.
Best Use Cases
Internal Feature Prioritization
Give your team a single place to propose and vote on what gets built next. The voting system surfaces the most-wanted features automatically, so planning sessions start with real signal instead of opinions.
Team Feedback Collection
Replace scattered Slack polls and spreadsheet surveys with a persistent board. Every idea stays visible, accumulates votes over time, and includes a comment thread for context.
Roadmap Input From Stakeholders
Share the board with cross-functional teams so everyone can see what's been requested, what's planned, and what's shipped. Status updates keep stakeholders informed without extra meetings.
Bug and Improvement Tracking
Use categories to separate feature requests from bug reports or quality-of-life improvements. Filter and sort to focus on what matters most in each planning cycle.
