Feature · Feedback & ideas

Turn scattered feedback into a clear ideas board

Maplan gives you a single place where customers and teammates can submit ideas, upvote what matters most, and discuss the details — without losing context in chats and spreadsheets.

Highlights

  • • Create ideas with a clear title and description.
  • • Upvote system so popular ideas naturally rise to the top.
  • • Comment threads with Markdown support for richer discussion.
  • • Status tags like New, Under Review, Planned, In Progress, and Done.

Core features for collecting ideas

  • • Create ideas with a title and rich description so requests aren't just one-liners.
  • • Upvote system to quickly see which ideas matter most across your customer base.
  • • Commenting with Markdown support for screenshots, code snippets, and longer explanations.
  • • Status tags that make it obvious whether an idea is new, under review, planned, in progress, or done.
  • • Search and basic filtering so product and support teams can find patterns quickly.
  • • Simple spam protection via rate limiting, so bots and over-enthusiastic submissions don't flood the board.

Admin controls for keeping the board tidy

  • • Merge duplicate ideas so votes and discussion stay focused instead of split across copies.
  • • Change statuses in a couple of clicks so the board always reflects reality.
  • • Assign internal tags or categories to group ideas by theme, customer segment, or team.
  • • Hide or approve ideas when moderation is needed without losing the history.

How it connects to the rest of Maplan

  • • Ideas can be promoted directly onto your roadmap.
  • • When work ships, you can link changelog entries back to the original ideas.
  • • The public widget can send feedback straight into this board.
