🛠️ Tool

This is the tool most teams reach for when they want a public roadmap that customers can actually vote on, not just a static list. It runs the whole loop: people submit requests, upvote the ones they care about, and see status columns (planned, in progress, shipped), which is exactly the setup this question is really asking about. There is a free tier to start, so you can test the idea with your early users before committing.
This tackles the exact question head-on: should you expose the roadmap at all, and what do you actually risk. It is honest about the real downsides (competitors watching, entitled requests, losing the surprise) while making the case that transparency usually builds more trust than it costs. Read it as a starting point to decide, then keep in mind it comes from a roadmap-tool vendor, so it naturally leans toward yes.
