Vote For Features
I think we’ve gotten a pretty good reputation for being responsive to feature requests from our users since our public release. However, there was also a case in the forums where we were forced to reply that the requested feature was probably not going to make it to the top of our list for a while. I don’t think the requesting user liked this much, and I can understand that feeling - it’s not fun when you feel like you aren’t in control. Luckily, we can fix that!
We now have a system up and running to allow you to submit and vote on features!
The voting system is integrated with the forum login, so you don’t even have to be a FeedLounge user to tell us what you’d like to see. Just make sure you’re logged in to the forums, then you can add your favorite feature to the list or vote for it if it’s already there. You can even link the feature to a discussion thread in the forums (highly recommended)1.
Each person gets 3 votes: a “first”, “second” and “third” place vote, and you can change your votes at any time.
We can’t promise that we’ll always implement features in exactly the order they appear on the list, but we can promise that we will pay close attention to the input given there - just as we do to the feedback we receive in the forums.
Right now we are focused on improving performance and fixing a few pesky bugs with unread counts, so now is a great time to get your favorite feature up on the list!
A few changes that will be coming on the voting system soon:
- The ability to add links to forum discussions after the feature is already on the list.
- Showing a list of the users that have voted for each feature.
- Live updates of score totals/rankings.
It’s not 100% done yet, but we wanted to get it live - the refinements will happen as we move forward.
- We’ll be adding the ability to add multiple links for each feature in the future. [back]
