Feature requests

RankYak is shaped in large part by the people using it, so when a feature you need is missing, or an existing one could work better, the feedback board is the place to say so. This page explains where requests live, what makes a request easy to act on, and what happens after you post one.

Filing a request

Feature requests live at feedback.rankyak.com. You may open the board directly, or click Feedback in the menu inside RankYak, which signs you in to the board automatically. On the board you may post a new idea, vote on ideas from other users, and comment with your own context.

Writing a useful request

The most useful requests describe the problem before the solution. Explain what you are trying to accomplish, where RankYak currently gets in the way, and how you work around it today; a concrete example from your own project says more than a general description. A proposed solution is welcome too, but the problem is what the team needs most, since the best fix is not always the first one imagined.

Before posting, you should search the board for an existing idea that covers the same ground. Voting and commenting on an existing request carries more weight than the same demand split across duplicates.

The roadmap

Every request on the board is reviewed by the team, discussed internally, and weighed in roadmap planning. Votes help show how widely a problem is felt, so a well-supported idea naturally rises in priority, though popularity alone does not decide the roadmap and no delivery dates are promised. When an idea is not implemented as requested, there is often another way to reach the same goal, so it is always worth describing the underlying problem on the board.
