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.
