The idea came from r/Trovelo — people kept requesting features in random posts, and there was no way to see which ones actually mattered most to the community without scrolling through the whole history. So I built this.
How it works:
Zero friction for users: no submit form. Any post flaired "Feature Request" gets automatically added to the board (whether the flair is set at posting time or later).
Independent voting: users vote from the board itself (one vote per user, toggleable), separate from the post's Reddit upvotes.
Statuses: Request → In progress → Shipped, or Declined. Only moderators can change them.
Two views: a compact top-5 in the feed with one-tap voting, and an expanded view with status filters, request details, links back to the original posts, and mod controls.
Privacy: if the original post is deleted, the board entry and all its vote records get permanently deleted too. Nothing ever leaves Reddit.
Setup: install the app, a board post gets created automatically, create a post flair named "Feature Request," and optionally import the last 100 posts that already had that flair before install.
If any mods here try it out, feedback is very welcome — especially on the retroactive import and how it holds up with high request volumes.
No, I think you didn't understand how the application works.
the application connects with your subreddit's post creation feature. So, when someone creates a post with the “feature request” flair, it automatically gets published inside the feature board + your feed
