原文外掛簡介
SimpleBoards is the WordPress roadmap and feedback plugin that puts your public roadmap, ideas board, and feature voting on your own domain instead of a separate SaaS subdomain. Visitors submit feature requests, vote on what they want most, and watch roadmap items move from Up Next through In Progress to Released. Every idea, vote, comment, and notification email lives in your own WordPress database, indexable by search engines, with no monthly subscription and no third party reading your customer feedback. If you have wanted a product roadmap and feature request board that actually belongs to you, this is the roadmap and feedback plugin for WordPress that gives you one.

SimpleBoards is a self-hosted LoopedIn and Frill alternative, built as a WordPress plugin so your roadmap and feedback board run inside the site you already own. There is no separate login, no SSO to configure, and no data leaving your server.
A public roadmap and feedback board on your own domain
Most product feedback tools host your public roadmap on their subdomain, on their infrastructure, behind their branding. SimpleBoards flips that. Your public roadmap, your ideas board, and your feature voting all render natively inside your WordPress theme, on a /roadmap page or any page you choose. Because the board is real content on your own domain, search engines can index every feature request and roadmap item, which brings organic traffic that a SaaS subdomain never sends to you. Your customer feedback stays in your WordPress database where you can query it, export it, and back it up like any other content.
Collect feature requests without forcing signups
The fastest way to kill feedback is to make people create an account first. SimpleBoards lets guests submit feature requests with nothing more than a name and email, so you capture ideas from the people who would never bother registering. Logged-in users submit too, and every submission, guest or member, lands in the same moderation queue so you approve, edit, or reject feature requests from the WordPress admin before they go public. Built-in spam protection keeps that queue clean with a hidden honeypot, a timing check, and a per-visitor hourly limit, all without showing your visitors a captcha.
Feature voting that drives real decisions
Every idea and roadmap item gets feature voting, so you build what people actually want instead of guessing. Sort by most voted, filter by category or status, and put your effort where the demand is loudest. Feature voting works for both logged-in users and guests, with one vote per identifier enforced at the database level, so the numbers you act on are real. Threaded comments on every item turn a flat request list into a conversation, and the top voted sidebar surfaces your highest-demand feature requests at a glance.
A kanban product roadmap your users can follow
The roadmap is a kanban board. Status columns such as Up Next, In Progress, and Released, or any columns you name, show progress so users stop emailing to ask what is happening. Drag and drop reordering, color coded statuses, and a Release stage flag for shipped work keep the product roadmap readable at a glance. Because the kanban roadmap is public, it doubles as an expectation-setting tool: customers see what is planned, what is being built, and what already shipped, which cuts support load and duplicate feature requests.
Turn your ideas board into a public changelog
Shipping is only half the value. SimpleBoards lets you move a roadmap item to Released and show it as done, so your ideas board becomes a living changelog your users can follow. With the Pro add-on you can add a dedicated Announcements tab and widget that publishes release notes as a proper changelog, complete with unread badges and dismissible cards, so the people who requested a feature find out the moment it ships.
A self-hosted LoopedIn and Frill alternative
If you are paying a monthly subscription for LoopedIn, Frill, or a similar SaaS feedback tool, SimpleBoards runs the same workflow, public roadmap, ideas board, feature requests, and feature voting, inside your own WordPress site with no recurring fee. You already pay for hosting and you already have an audience, so paying $30 to $400 a month to host your public roadmap on someone else’s subdomain is money you can keep. SimpleBoards ships a LoopedIn CSV importer so you can migrate your existing feedback, titles, descriptions, statuses, dates, and vote counts, without starting over. The plugin is GPL licensed, so you can modify, extend, or audit it whenever you want.

Pro add-on
SimpleBoards Pro adds the things teams ask for after their first month of running a public roadmap:
Private boards. Restrict a board by role so internal roadmap planning stays internal.
Announcements and changelog. Publish release notes as a changelog with unread badges and dismissible cards.
Workflow automation. Auto-promote a feature request when a vote threshold is hit, auto-change status when a checklist finishes, and notify by email when a roadmap item goes overdue.
Checklist progress on cards. Track sub-tasks on roadmap items with a visible progress bar.
Design controls. Layout, colors, typography, and preset themes (Clean Light, Midnight Glass, Pulse) without writing CSS. Saved presets reuse a design across boards.
Torin AI assistant. Analyze incoming feature requests by intent, find duplicate ideas, and suggest the next action.
Common use cases

Sharing roadmap visibility with agency clients without giving them admin access.
