Idea counts, better bulk moderation, and a smoother posting experience
A batch of board and feedback-form upgrades just went live — several of them straight from ideas you posted here.
Idea counts on your boards
The board admin view now shows exactly how many ideas a board holds, right on the Ideas tab — and a separate counter for posts flagged as spam. Large boards abbreviate neatly (1.2k) with the exact number on hover.
Bulk actions, unclamped
"Select page" now selects everything you've loaded — up to 500 posts at once — instead of stopping at 50. Changing status or marking spam applies to the whole selection in one go, and both counters update instantly. Bulk delete keeps a deliberate 50-post safety limit.
A smoother way to post ideas
Visitors posting without an account now see a "Posting as" card with their remembered name and email — and a "Not you?" link to change it. If they decide to sign in mid-post, their draft and email carry over instead of being lost. Submissions are noticeably faster, too.
Longer email previews
New-idea notification emails now include roughly twice as much of the idea's text, so you can judge a request without opening it.
Fixes
CSV exports now open correctly in Excel for Chinese and other non-Latin text.
Links inside changelog entries open in a new tab, so readers keep their place.
Saving spam settings now confirms properly instead of appearing to do nothing.

We’re always looking for ways to help you make FeedBear your own. Try it out and let us know how we can make it even better. 😊
We’ve rolled out some fantastic updates to make FeedBear even better:

Smoother animations for a more polished feel.
Posts now display more helpful information, including authors, tags, and boards—all at a glance!
In addition, certain functions in our backend has been fine-tuned for better performance, and we’ve addressed various bugs to ensure a smoother, more reliable experience.
These updates are live and ready to streamline your workflow. We’d love to hear your feedback—let us know what you think! 😊
Your users can now express themselves with emoji reactions on any post or changelog update, making interactions more fun and engaging!
Customizing this feature is easy:

By default, emoji reactions are enabled for all projects, so your users can start engaging right away. Adjust the settings to fit your preferences in the Feedback section.
Engaging with your project has never been more fun! 😊
We're excited to announce a new feature that will give you more control and flexibility within FeedBear. You can now reorder boards to your liking, making it easier to prioritize and access the most important ones first.
With the ability to change the order in which boards are listed in the Feedback boards menu and elsewhere, you can customize your workspace to suit your workflow. No more scrolling through a long list to find what you need - organize your boards the way that makes sense to you.
We've just rolled out a brand new feature that many have been asking for - the ability to post ideas anonymously!
We understand that not everyone wants to create an account or reveal their identity when submitting an idea or bug report. That's why we've made it super easy for your customers to share their thoughts without any friction.
With this latest update, your users can now click on the "Add Idea" button and submit their ideas directly, without having to provide a name or any personal information - they can still enter their details, optionally, so they can be notified of status changes.
By allowing anonymous submissions, you're opening up the floor to even more voices and perspectives.
You can enable anonymous idea submissions from Project Settings, then click on Feedback and make sure the checkbox for this feature is enabled.
We pushed a small but important update to our Zapier app that will enhance your login experience and provide better security for your projects. We've listened to your feedback, and we're moving to a new API key authentication method.
With this update, we've replaced the traditional username/password login process with a more secure and streamlined API key. You can now find your Zapier API key in your account settings or directly in the Zapier integration card in the Project Settings. This new authentication method ensures that your integration is bound to your user account, just like before.
One of the great benefits of this new approach is that if you ever lose access to a project, the integration will automatically stop working. This ensures that only authorized individuals can access and manage your integrations, giving you peace of mind and better control over your projects. For this reason, we suggest the Project owner (rather than a team member) is responsible for setting up the integration through their account.
Existing users who are already using the previous version of the Zapier app with the username/password authentication method don't need to migrate. This update only affects new users who will now be presented with the API key authentication when setting up the integration.
We're excited to bring you a highly requested feature to help you manage feedback more effectively. You can now make ideas private, ensuring that only admins have access to them. 🤫
To make an idea private, simply head over to the idea from your board or roadmap and, from the right panel, click on the "Make Private" button.
Once enabled, the post will be hidden from regular users, ensuring that only admins with the right permissions can access it. Even the person who posted the idea won't be able to access it anymore.
You can now quickly remove an idea from public view (or from users in a private project), while keeping it accessible internally for your own team (yourself and other admin users).
Posts made private are now visibly marked by an icon wherever they are visible (feedback boards, roadmap or search results). You'll see them as an admin, but not your users.
Now you can add a "noindex" meta tag to your pages
Some of our users have requested the ability to prevent their boards from being indexed by search engines, even if they are publicly available.
With the latest update, you can now easily add a no-index meta tag to your boards using the Custom Code feature accessible from your Project Settings.
In the section named "Custom code at the end of </head>", simply enter the following code:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
This simple addition will inform search engines not to index your boards, ensuring that they remain accessible only to the intended audience or that they won't compete with your main domain for your keywords.
When you mark an idea with a "Not Now" status, it won't be visible by default in your feedback boards anymore.
We understand that sometimes ideas need to be put on hold or parked to be revisited later, and it's essential to manage expectations. From now on, your users won't receive any notifications when an idea is marked as "Not Now."
We're excited to announce a brand new feature that many of you have been asking for - the ability to add custom code to your projects! 🎉
With this latest update, admins can now easily include additional HTML/javascript code in FeedBear, allowing you to integrate various third-party tools and services seamlessly.
One popular use case for this feature is adding Google Analytics support to your projects. By simply entering the Google Analytics javascript snippet, you'll be able to monitor traffic, and gain valuable insights into how your customers are engaging with your feedback board, roadmap and individual ideas.
We understand that every company has unique requirements, and sometimes out-of-the-box solutions just don't cut it. That's why we wanted to empower you with the ability to customize FeedBear according to your specific needs.
We are thrilled to announce our latest update that will help you save time and energy when it comes to answering new feature requests on your board.
As you know, answering every new idea with a thoughtful response can be time-consuming and requires a certain level of skill. With FeedBear's new feature, you can now draft replies using GPT4, which will help you streamline the process.
We understand how time-consuming it can be to draft changelog entries or new feature announcements.
That's why we've developed a solution that allows admins to create new changelog entries in no time, based on the content of ideas already added to a board.
With the help of GPT4, FeedBear can now draft changelog entries for you whenever you mark an idea as "Done", or at any time directly from the Changelog entry editor. This means that when you're ready to announce your latest feature, you can do it in just a few clicks.
Our goal is to make it easier for you to keep your customers up to date with your product's latest developments, and we hope this new feature will help you achieve that.
To give it a try, click on "Write with AI" from the changelog editor. Or notice how FeedBear drafts a new changelog entry automatically whenever you change status to "Done" for any idea on your board.
Admins can now save notes about an idea, such as links to internal documents, project tracking tools or details about customers. This will help you keep all the important information in one place, making it easier to manage feedback.
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.
