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.
