How does the feature request board work?

Learn how to use Canny.io to submit feature requests, vote on suggestions, and track the status of product development for Starshipit.

3 min readUpdated February 2, 2026

Starshipit uses Canny.io, a platform that allows customers to submit feedback, feature requests, and suggestions for our app. When you submit a feature request on our board, it becomes visible for others to see and vote on. More votes increase an idea's visibility, helping our product development team gauge customer interest and prioritise accordingly. While the number of votes is important, our team also considers technical feasibility, alignment with our strategy and roadmap, the scope of the work, and its potential impact.

Canny.io also enables communication between our product development team and customers. The team can provide updates on feature request statuses, gather feedback, and engage with customers to ensure their needs are met.

FAQ
