Feature request template

A short form that gets you the problem behind the request, a status workflow, a reply you can reuse, and a CSV tracker. Copy what you need.

1. The request form

Feature request

Title: (one line — what should the product do?)
Problem: (what are you trying to do, and what gets in the way today?)
Who is affected: (you, your team, your customers — roughly how many?)
How often: (daily / weekly / occasionally)
Current workaround: (what do you do instead?)
Screenshot or example: (optional)
Contact: (optional — only if we may follow up)

Ask for the problem, not the solution — “export to CSV” often means “I need this in my monthly report”, which may have a better answer.

2. A status workflow

  • Open

    New and not yet reviewed. Let people vote.

  • Planned

    You intend to build it. Say so publicly — it stops repeat requests.

  • In Progress

    Being built now.

  • Done

    Shipped. Tell everyone who asked.

  • Closed

    Won't do, or duplicate. Explain why in a comment.

3. A reply you can reuse

Thanks for the request! We've added it to our board, where others can vote on it:
{link}

We review the top-voted requests every month. You'll get an email when its status changes — Planned, In Progress or Done.

4. A CSV tracker

Open it in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. When the spreadsheet stops scaling, import the same file into a Telloo board — the columns already match.

Outgrown the spreadsheet?

A free Telloo board takes the same columns, lets customers vote without an account, and emails them when a status changes.
