Collect customer feedback, prioritize by votes, ship product updates users can s &hellip;<\/div>\n<h4>Stop paying a third-party service just to talk to your own users<\/h4>\n<p>If you run a WordPress site, you already pay for hosting and you already have a user base. Paying $50 to $400 a month for a SaaS feedback tool to host your public roadmap on a separate subdomain feels backward.<\/p>\n<p>SimpleBoards puts the same workflow inside your own site. Visitors submit ideas, vote on what they want most, and watch roadmap items move from &#8220;Up Next&#8221; through &#8220;In Progress&#8221; to &#8220;Released&#8221; without ever leaving your brand.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleboardswp.com\/?utm_source=wp_readme&amp;utm_medium=plugin&amp;utm_campaign=hero_link\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Live demo and Pro details: simpleboardswp.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Who it is built for<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>WordPress plugin and theme authors collecting feature requests from real users.<\/li>\n<li>SaaS founders who want a public roadmap on their main site, not a third-party subdomain.<\/li>\n<li>Agencies sharing roadmap visibility with clients in a portal they already own.<\/li>\n<li>Membership and community sites turning member ideas into shipped features.<\/li>\n<li>Internal product teams running roadmap planning entirely inside the WordPress admin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>What it actually does<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A public ideas board.<\/strong> Visitors submit ideas, including guests with no account required. Each idea gets voting, threaded comments, categories, and statuses. You see real demand instead of guessing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A kanban-style public roadmap.<\/strong> Status columns (call them &#8220;Up Next&#8221;, &#8220;In Progress&#8221;, &#8220;Released&#8221;, or anything you want) show progress so users stop emailing your team for updates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Feature voting that drives real decisions.<\/strong> Sort by most-voted, filter by category or status, and put your roadmap effort where the demand is loudest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Editable everything.<\/strong> Status names, status colors, category labels, the &#8220;Share an idea&#8221; button text, email notification copy. All editable without code.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Designed to not break your theme.<\/strong> The public stylesheet is scoped and uses CSS custom properties, so the board renders consistently whether your site runs Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress, Blocksy, or the default Twenty-Twenty themes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One-click LoopedIn migration.<\/strong> Coming from LoopedIn? Import the CSV with titles, descriptions, statuses, dates, and vote counts preserved. Pick &#8220;allow duplicates&#8221; or &#8220;overwrite by title&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h4>Why it is different<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lives inside WordPress.<\/strong> No SaaS subscription, no separate domain, no SSO setup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No external accounts required.<\/strong> Guests can vote and submit without signing up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your data stays on your server.<\/strong> Votes, ideas, comments, and emails live in your database. No third party reads them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>GPL licensed and open source.<\/strong> You own what you install. Modify it, extend it, audit it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Free features<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Public roadmap and ideas board, on the same page or split across two pages.<\/li>\n<li>Voting and threaded comments on every item.<\/li>\n<li>Guest submissions without forcing visitors to register.<\/li>\n<li>Search, filter, and sort on both ideas and roadmap, toggleable per board.<\/li>\n<li>Custom statuses with color, plus a &#8220;Release stage&#8221; flag so completed items show &#8220;Released&#8221; instead of &#8220;Due&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Custom categories with color.<\/li>\n<li>Moderation tools: bulk-edit, reject, or publish from the WordPress admin.<\/li>\n<li>LoopedIn CSV importer with vote counts and duplicate-handling.<\/li>\n<li>Editable email notification templates for new submissions and rejections.<\/li>\n<li>Editable submission button text to match your brand voice.<\/li>\n<li>Per-item subscriptions for users who want updates, plus one-click unsubscribe.<\/li>\n<li>Pretty permalinks and a <code>[sbir_board product=\"board-slug\"]<\/code> shortcode for any page.<\/li>\n<li>Theme-resilient public CSS so the board stays predictable across themes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Pro add-on<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleboardswp.com\/?utm_source=wp_readme&amp;utm_medium=plugin&amp;utm_campaign=pro_section\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SimpleBoards Pro<\/a> adds the things teams ask for after their first month of use:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Private boards.<\/strong> Restrict by role so internal planning stays internal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Announcements tab and widget.<\/strong> Publish a changelog of release notes and product updates with unread badges and dismissible cards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Workflow automations.<\/strong> Auto-promote ideas to roadmap when a vote threshold is hit.
