Roadmap

The public roadmap shows posts grouped into three columns: Planned, In Progress, Done. Customers can scan, vote, and comment without diving into individual boards.

Why three buckets

Customers don't care about your internal pipeline. They want to know: is it on the list, is it being built, is it shipped. The public roadmap collapses your fine-grained workflow into those three answers.

You can keep as many internal statuses as you want (Researching, Up next, Beta, GA, …) - each one maps to a bucket (or to none) via its Public bucket setting. See statuses for the field.

What appears on the roadmap

A post is on the public roadmap if all of:

• Its status has a Public bucket assigned (Planned, In Progress, or Done).
• It is not internal.
• It is not a draft (or it's been approved).
• The board it lives in is public or authenticated.

Statuses with no public bucket (e.g. Open, Under Review) never appear on the public roadmap, regardless of their Show on roadmap setting - that flag controls the dashboard roadmap only.

Mapping statuses to buckets

Dashboard -> Portal -> Public roadmap. Each status has a dropdown: Planned, In Progress, Done, or Hidden.

A typical mapping:

The dashboard surfaces a warning if a bucket is empty - an empty bucket renders as an empty column on the portal.

Roadmap visibility

Two independent toggles:

• Master portal switch - Dashboard -> Portal -> Public portal flips the whole portal off. Every public URL under /p/{slug}/... returns 404. Use it for stealth-mode launches or wind-downs.
• Roadmap-only switch - Dashboard -> Portal -> Public roadmap hides just the roadmap tab while leaving boards, changelog, and the widget public.

Useful for early-stage products that don't have a coherent plan yet, or for B2B teams that want feedback collection but not public commitment.

Filtering

End users can filter the roadmap by tags. The tag pill row lives above the columns; if your workspace has more than ten tags it collapses into a dropdown.

The filter is URL-driven - selected tags appear as ?tags=tag-a,tag-b in the address bar, so a filtered view is bookmarkable and shareable.

Members in the dashboard see the same roadmap with extra filters (author, vote threshold) and the option to export to CSV.

Dashboard roadmap

Members get a different view inside Dashboard -> Roadmap: one column per status with Show on roadmap enabled, ordered by sort order. Use this for triage; use the public version for customer-facing communication.

Linking and embedding

The roadmap has a stable URL: feedjolt.com/p/{slug}/roadmap. Bookmark it, share it, embed it. (For embedding on your own page, the widget is usually a better fit.)

SEO

Roadmap pages are indexed by search engines. Each post on the roadmap has its own page with its own title and description.
