<h4>Shortcodes</h4>
<code>[riaco_feedback_features project="main"]</code> 
Renders the submission form alongside the full feedback board. This is the all-in-one shortcode for most setups.

Renders only the feedback board (no form). Use this when you want the form and the list on separate pages.
<code>[riaco_feedback_roadmap project="main"]</code> 
Renders the three-column kanban roadmap grouped by status.
All shortcodes accept a <code>project</code> attribute that scopes the display to a specific project slug (default: <code>main</code>). Create additional projects from Feedback → Projects in the admin.

SimpleBoards is the WordPress roadmap plugin that puts your public roadmap, ideas board, and feedback board on your own site 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”. Your customer feedback, votes, and release timeline all live in your own WordPress database, on your own domain, indexable by search engines.

<h4>What SimpleBoards does</h4>
A public ideas board. Visitors submit feature requests, including guests with no account required. Every idea gets voting, threaded comments, categories, and statuses, so you see real demand instead of guessing.
A kanban roadmap. Status columns (“Up Next”, “In Progress”, “Released”, or anything you want) show progress so users stop emailing for updates. Drag-and-drop reordering, color-coded statuses, and a “Release stage” flag for shipped work.
Feature voting that drives real decisions. Sort by most voted, filter by category or status, and put your roadmap effort where the demand is loudest. Logged-in users and guests both vote, with one vote per identifier enforced at the database level.
Editable everything. Status names and colors, category labels, the “Share an idea” button text, and email notification subjects and bodies are all editable from the WordPress admin.
Theme-resilient by design. The public stylesheet is scoped and uses CSS custom properties, so the board renders consistently on Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress, Blocksy, and the default Twenty Twenty-X themes.
<h4>Stop paying for a SaaS feedback tool</h4>
If you run a WordPress site, you already pay for hosting and you already have a user base. Paying $50 to $400 a month for a SaaS feedback tool to host your public roadmap on a separate subdomain feels backward. SimpleBoards runs the same workflow inside your own site, on a <code>/roadmap</code> page or any page you choose.
Your votes, ideas, comments, and emails live in your own WordPress database, with no third party reading them, no SSO setup, and no monthly subscription. The plugin is GPL licensed, so you can modify, extend, or audit it whenever you want.
<h4>Who it is built for</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress plugin and theme authors collecting feature requests from real users.</li>
<li>SaaS founders who want a public roadmap on their main marketing site, not a third-party subdomain.</li>
<li>Agencies sharing roadmap visibility with clients in a portal they already own.</li>
<li>Membership, community, and course sites turning member ideas into shipped features.</li>
<li>Internal product teams running roadmap planning inside the WordPress admin.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Free features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Public roadmap and ideas board, on the same page or split across two pages.</li>
<li>Feature voting and threaded comments on every item.</li>
<li>Guest submissions and guest voting without forcing visitors to register.</li>
<li>Search, filter, and sort on both ideas and roadmap views, toggleable per board.</li>
<li>Custom statuses and categories with colors, plus a “Release stage” flag for shipped work.</li>
<li>Moderation tools to bulk edit, reject, or publish from the WordPress admin.</li>
<li>LoopedIn CSV importer with vote counts and duplicate handling.</li>
<li>Editable email notification templates and submission button text to match your brand.</li>
<li>Per-item subscriptions with one-click unsubscribe links.</li>
<li>Pretty permalinks and a <code>[sbir_board product="board-slug"]</code> shortcode for any page.</li>
<li>Theme-resilient public CSS so the board stays predictable across themes.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pro add-on</h4>
<a href="https://simpleboardswp.com/?utm_source=wp_readme&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=pro_section" rel="nofollow ugc">SimpleBoards Pro</a> adds the things teams ask for after their first month of use:
<ul>
<li>Private boards. Restrict by role so internal planning stays internal.</li>
<li>Announcements tab and widget. Publish a changelog of release notes with unread badges and dismissible cards.</li>
<li>Workflow automation. Auto-promote ideas when a vote threshold is hit, auto-change status when a checklist finishes, and notify by email when an item goes overdue.</li>
<li>Checklist progress on cards. Track sub-tasks on roadmap items with a visible progress bar.</li>
<li>Design controls. Layout, colors, typography, and preset themes (Clean Light, Midnight Glass, Pulse) without writing CSS. Saved presets reuse a design across boards.</li>
<li>Torin AI assistant. Analyze incoming ideas by intent, find duplicates, suggest the next action.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Common use cases</h4>
<ul>
<li>Replacing a paid LoopedIn subscription with a self-hosted alternative you fully control.</li>
<li>Adding a public roadmap to a WordPress plugin or theme’s own site on a <code>/roadmap</code> page.</li>
<li>Running a feature requests portal on a SaaS marketing site.</li>
<li>Sharing roadmap visibility with agency clients without giving them admin access.</li>
<li>Collecting customer feedback on a membership site or course platform.</li>
</ul>
