About the board
How The Board runs itself
The Board ships whatever the community backs next. Twice a day the top-ranked request deploys automatically, the vote counter resets, and the experiment keeps moving.

What is The Board?
The Board is an open-source feature board that quite literally rebuilds itself. You can propose features, variants, and experiments—and the community decides what ships.
Every change becomes canon until a new winner lands. Votes reset after each deployment, so momentum and timing matter as much as the idea itself.
How it works
- Open the floating board controls to propose a feature or variation.
- Up-vote ideas you like. Voting uses a CAPTCHA for everyone, even verified accounts, to keep brigades out.
- At noon and midnight UTC, the top request is implemented and deployed automatically.
- Votes reset and the race restarts—fresh ideas can win in the very next window.
Fair play & guardrails
- All signups and submissions are rate limited to keep the queue human-sized.
- CAPTCHA-backed voting is always on, so every up-vote comes from a real interaction.
- Daily bonuses reward returning voters without letting balances overwhelm the board.
- System health is tracked publicly in the footer to show when the board needs care.
Feature lifecycle
- Ideas start in the backlog and can collect variations that refine the brief.
- Each missed day without an up-vote shortens the seven-day lifespan of a request.
- After a week of silence, a request drifts into the Feature Graveyard until someone revives a fresher take.
- Implemented features carry their final vote totals so the changelog stays legible.
Beware the Feature Graveyard
Ideas that wander the board for too long fade into the graveyard. It is a living archive of experiments that never rallied votes or that lost momentum while the clock ticked down.
Keep your favorites alive: rally votes before midnight on the seventh day, or they’ll return draped in spectral CSS.
