Run the board. Then decide.

Operating notes, not a pitch. One place for requests. A board you can afford when most users are free. A way to read votes without treating the sort order as a roadmap. FlatVote can host it. The habits work on another tool too.

• Guide 1How to collect feature requests from users without a spreadsheetReplace the feature spreadsheet with one public board, a short field list, statuses you maintain, and a weekly half hour so the list stays honest.
• Guide 2How to run a feedback board for a freemium app without paying per voterRun a public feedback board when most accounts never pay, without a bill that grows each time a free user shows up to vote.
• Guide 3How to prioritize feature requests: count customers, not votesRank feature requests by distinct accounts and paying accounts, not by the raw vote total. A plain way to choose a small set and decline the rest.
