Our own roadmap, running live

This is our actual roadmap rather than a screenshot, running on VoteFirst, and you can open it yourself rather than take our word for it.

You can vote on any card without signing in, which is the same thing your own visitors would be able to do.

Why the declined column matters, and why ours is not showing one

Because a roadmap that shows only the work that went well is a marketing page wearing a roadmap costume.

The question a customer actually has is not what are you building. It is what happened to the thing they asked for. A roadmap with no way to say no answers that question by silence, and silence reads as a maybe for months.

Now the part that costs us something to write. Our own board does not have that column switched on today, read again on 15 September 2026. We have also not declined anything in public, so there would be nothing in it if we did. An earlier version of this page said the column was on and made rather a lot of that, which was wrong, and it was wrong in the most embarrassing possible direction, since anybody who followed the link could see it.

We still think the argument is right. Telling somebody no in public, with the card still there and the reason attached, costs a little goodwill on the day and buys the kind of trust where people believe the yeses too. The switch is in your project settings and it is on by default, so if you want it you already have it.

What you should take from this page is not that we are good at it. It is that the tool shows the gap between what a company says and what its board does, including ours, which is the only reason a public roadmap is worth anything.

There is a live board behind all of this, and the demo is open without an account.

The private board, with Pending approval holding four suggestions nobody has let through yet, Suggested beside it and Denied with the reason written on each card
The private board, where every new suggestion waits for approval.

How we decide what goes next

Votes, counted by the voter's tier with the revenue behind them beside it, divided roughly by how much work it looks like.

That is the mechanism the product ships and it is the one we use. It does not make the decision. It orders the list so that the decision is made against something real rather than against whoever emailed most recently.

The part no ranking survives is judgement. Sometimes the top card is a large customer asking for something that would make the product worse for everybody else, and the answer is no. That conversation is easier when the ordering is visible and the reasoning has to be written down.

What happens when a card ships

It reaches the Completed column, and that is what our changelog is made of.

The people who voted for it and who have an account get an email. That is the whole list, because there is no subscriber list. If you voted for something here, you will hear when it lands.

Can I ask for something?

Yes, and it is the fastest way to reach us. Add a suggestion on the board, which works the same way yours would.

It will be held for review before it appears, exactly as it would be on your board, because the review gate has no off switch and we are running the same software you would be.

If your idea gets votes it moves up the same list as everything else.

14 days, a card at signup, then $9 or $39 a month.

This page suits somebody deciding whether the product is still being worked on. A reader who wants to know what a roadmap board does rather than what is on this one wants the public roadmap page instead.

The public board a visitor reads, three columns wide, each request carrying its vote count, its views and its comment count

What this page is really for

Proving the product works by using it, rather than describing it.

Everything on this site makes claims about what the software does. Five things worth trying is the shortest way to check a few of them. This page is the one where you can check a few of them yourself in about a minute, without a trial and without a card.
