Community Voting and Engagement
Building the right features means understanding what your users actually want. OpenIssue's voting system gives your community a voice in your product direction.
Issue Voting Made Simple
Every issue on your public board has a vote button. Visitors can show support for features they care about with a single click.
How It Works
- •Users click the thumbs-up button on any issue
- •Vote counts display prominently on each issue
- •Sort your board by most-voted to see what matters most
- •Track which issues you've voted on
No account required for anonymous voting, or track individual voters for deeper insights.
Data-Driven Prioritization
Stop guessing which features to build next. Let the data guide you:
- •Sort by votes - Instantly see what your community wants most
- •Track engagement - Know which issues generate the most interest
- •Validate ideas - See if a proposed feature has real demand before investing time
Community Engagement Benefits
Voting does more than collect data - it builds community:
- •Users feel heard - Their input directly influences your roadmap
- •Transparency builds trust - Everyone sees what's popular and where you're focusing
- •Early adopters become advocates - People who vote for a feature celebrate when it ships
Optimistic UI Updates
We've made voting feel instant. When a user votes, the count updates immediately - no waiting for server responses. The experience feels snappy and responsive.
Combine with Other Data
Vote counts are one signal among many. Combine them with:
- •Comment activity
- •Importance ratings from submitters
- •Your own product strategy
Use community input to inform decisions, not dictate them.
