When you create a Feature Request board in Yaplet, a public roadmap page is automatically generated for it. Visitors can see the requests in your public columns, their vote counts, and the current status — no login required. This article shows you how to find and share that page.
What the public roadmap shows
The roadmap page displays all tickets that are in public columns on your feature board. Each ticket shows:
- Title and description
- Current column (status) — e.g. "Planned", "In progress", "Shipped"
- Vote count
- A button for visitors to upvote (email required on the first vote)
Tickets in private columns are not shown. The order defaults to Most votes, with an option to sort by Most recent.
Find your roadmap URL
In your Yaplet dashboard, open the feature board and click Share roadmap (or look for the share/link icon in the board header). Yaplet generates a URL in the format yourwidget.yaplet.com/roadmap. Copy it from the modal.
Share it with your users
Common places to link to the roadmap:
- A "Roadmap" link in your product's navigation or footer
- A button on your pricing or features page
- Your newsletter — invite subscribers to vote on what you build next
- A post-signup email — show new users what's coming
- Your social media profile
The roadmap inside the widget
Visitors can also access the roadmap without leaving your site. When a Feature Request board exists, Yaplet automatically adds a Feature Requests tab to the widget. The tab shows the same public roadmap inline — clicking it opens the requests list, lets visitors vote, and links to the full hosted page.
Keeping the roadmap accurate
The public roadmap is a live view of your board. When you move a ticket to a public column it appears immediately; when you move it to a private column or archive it, it disappears. Keep columns like "Shipped" public — it shows momentum and rewards voters with visibility that their feedback mattered.
