Voting
How to vote on Feedjolt posts: click upvote, click again to remove. One vote per post, anonymous voting on public boards, and what your vote means to the team.
Voting tells the team which posts matter most to you. The more votes a post gets, the more visible it is on the roadmap.
How to vote
On any post:
- Click the upvote button (usually a number next to a triangle/arrow).
- The number goes up. Yours is counted.
- Click again to remove your vote.
You can vote on as many posts as you want. There's no quota.
One vote per person, per post
You can't vote twice on the same post. If you cared about it twice as much, leave a comment explaining why; that's actionable in a way that "vote weight" isn't.
Anonymous voting
On public boards, you can vote without signing in. Your vote is tracked by a browser cookie - clear cookies and you'll lose your vote (the count, the post will keep).
On authenticated boards, voting requires sign-in (magic link to your email).
What your vote does
A vote increments the post's count. The team sees:
- The total vote count.
- The list of voters (with email if you signed in, or "Anonymous" if you didn't).
- Optional vote thresholds - the team can set up alerts when a post crosses 10, 50, or any number of votes.
Your email is not shared with the team beyond this internal list. They can email you (if your post receives a comment or status change) but they can't pull your data into a CRM.
Why votes matter
- Posts with more votes appear higher in default sorting.
- The team's roadmap discussions usually start with "what's getting the most votes".
- If a feature you want is at 3 votes, recruiting a few colleagues who also want it is a real signal.
What votes don't mean
- The team is not obligated to build the most-voted post. Some popular requests are bad ideas; some unpopular requests are critical bugs. Votes are one signal among many.
- A "Won't fix" status doesn't mean "we hate you" - it usually means "we considered this carefully and it doesn't fit our direction". Comments on the post should explain why.
Vote-on-behalf
If you've talked to the team directly (sales call, support ticket), they can record your vote on the relevant post on your behalf. You'll see it on the post under your email/name. Removing it works the same way as a vote you cast yourself - open the post, click the button.
