Feature voting for open-source projects, outside your issue tracker
Feature requests in an issue tracker pile up as +1 comments, and most users of a project never open one. A feedback board gives them a simple place to vote on ideas without an account, so maintainers see real demand and keep issues for bugs and work in progress. FDBK's free plan has one board with unlimited users, votes and posts.
Why not just use GitHub issues for feature requests?
Issues need an account, mix ideas with bugs and pull requests, and votes are reactions that are easy to miss. A board ranks ideas by votes, merges duplicates with their votes, and shows a roadmap anyone can read.
What does it cost?
Nothing for one board: the free plan has unlimited users, votes and posts, a public roadmap and changelog, and the widget, with no time limit.
Can maintainers work with it from their tools?
On Pro, the REST API and webhooks connect the board to your own automation, and the MCP server lets AI assistants like Claude or Cursor search and update posts.

Questions
- Is it free for open-source projects?
- The free plan is free for everyone: one board, unlimited users, votes and posts, no card.
- Can I move existing requests over?
- There's no one-click import yet. On Pro, the REST API can create posts, so a short script can bring them in.
