You can now link ideas from your FeedBear board to issues in your Jira project.
To enable your Jira integration go to your "Project Settings" and then "Integrations". The Jira integration is only available to customers on the Professional plan and higher.
Whatever you write in the idea form will now be auto-saved, so if you go to a different page and then back to the form, everything you wrote will still be there.
You can now add ideas to your board directly from your Roadmap page.
The new author selection input also allows you to add ideas on behalf of users, so you can easily gather their ideas from other sources and add them to your boards.
You can now moderate which ideas will be visible to users.
From the board settings, you can assign the "Not set" status for all new ideas and then hide that status from users, so only admins will be able to see them.
This is extremely useful for those that want to review the ideas provided by users before making them visible on the boards.
If English is not the primary language of your users, you will be happy to hear that we have implemented translated interfaces for our boards, roadmap, and updates pages.
To activate a different language for your project, go to "Project Settings > Translations Settings", there you will find a list of all the available languages that can be applied.
We are looking for people to help us translate FeedBear into more languages, if you are willing to assist let us know!
We have performed some nice improvements to our widget, in order to make it more flexible and easier to use.
You no longer need to generate an SSO token to use the widget, you can now simply copy its code and paste it directly on your website. In this case, users will be asked to provide a name and email.
The documentation on how to use the widget has also been updated accordingly. You can find the documentation clicking here.
Make sure to give it a try and start asking your users to share their ideas with you!
You can now customize some aspects of email notifications that are sent to users, allowing you to better incorporate your company details on those messages as well as better manage any responses that are sent to those emails.
You can now integrate your website login system with your FeedBear project.
We are slowly rolling this feature out to our customers, if you are interested in using SSO for your project send us a message at support@feedbear.com and we will be happy to help with activating it for you.
You can now use Webhooks to integrate your boards with third-party platforms.
Create cards in Trello, add entries to a Google Spreadsheet, or simply send an email to your team members when an Idea is added to your board, the possibilities are endless.
The "Webhooks" tab can be found in your "Project settings".FeedBear Webhooks
You can now hide the count of votes for ideas in any of your idea boards.
This can be useful if you don't want people to be influenced by existing vote counts or if it's not information you'd like to display publicly. You can access this setting from "Board settings" for all of your boards.
You can now export your entire's project data, including feedback, comments, users and upvotes. You'll find this in the "Export" tab in "Project settings".
You guys have asked for it and we listened. You can now add Custom CSS to your FeedBear project, allowing you to customize its design to match your requirements and branding guidelines.
The Custom CSS feature is located under the Project Settings.
We hope you all enjoy this feature! Get creative with the possibilities!
We are happy to announce that our Trello integration is now live and available to all users.
The integration can be enabled from the "Project Settings" area, under "Integrations", and allows you to easily create a card in Trello, or simply attach feedback to an existing Trello card.
We hope that all of you Trello users enjoy this feature!
We are keen to hear your feedback, if you have any ideas, questions or suggestions just let us know.
You can now upvote feedback on behalf of your users. This should be particularly useful for those who gather feedback from customers over phone calls and support platforms.
Many have asked for ways to add more context to the feedback boards, roadmap or other pages. You can now add a title and a description for each board (by editing the board), as well as the Roadmap and Changelog pages (from Project Settings)
We've improved the feedback form, as well as the login and registration processes, allowing users to leave their feedback without having to register for an account. You can now also login using a link sent to your email instead of providing a password.
Users can now upvote ideas and feedback without registering for an account.
These changes have the objective of making it easier for users to share their ideas and feedback
You can now decide whether your project’s homepage loads to your Feedback board, Roadmap or Changelog. The “Homepage” option loads a list of boards and your Roadmap all in one page.
This is useful for ideas you're not likely to implement anytime soon. Posts with this status won't show in the "Not Done" default filter for the board.
We updated FeedBear's design and overall experience to improve the productivity and happiness of those who use it – our valuable customers and their valuable users.
As FeedBear's features grew with our customers' needs, the navigation and other action elements became scattered through the workspace. To name a few problems – the search button was appearing only on certain pages, navbar items changed based on the current page. On the engineering side, there were many unnecessary or lazily used libraries that contributed to slow page loads.
Summary of the changes
Navigation: Persistent search bar
Navigation: All items in one row, until they fit
Navigation: Items are the same on every page (duh!)
Navigation: Added breadcrumbs to pages on depth level 2 and more
Navigation: Separated project switch from the user menu
Roadmap: Added feedback boards on the project homepage. This eliminates the previous "Where does your feedback fit the best?" page. Users can now jump directly to their board of interest.
Boards: Improved filter/sort bar, moved tags filter next to the others
Posts: URLs now contain a simplified version of the title. When the title changes, the URL also changes, but the old URLs keep working (redirecting to the current one). Old URLs with the ID still work.
Posts: Attachments can now be added by drag&drop or pasted from the clipboard
Posts: Attachments can now be added to the comments
Posts: Attachments show as a preview instead of the file name
Settings: Added email notification preferences to Personal settings
Changelog: Improved scheduling/saving as draft/publishing workflow
Changelog: Added default label color swatches in addition to the custom picker
Overall visual cleanup: Unified spacing, font sizes, colors, buttons, etc.
