Ideas & Voting

Idea Lifecycle

Every idea goes through a status lifecycle. Only the author can change the status.

Ideas can also be Archived at any stage. Archived ideas are still visible but clearly marked.

Voting

Show support for ideas you like by upvoting them. Votes use optimistic updates — the UI updates instantly while the server catches up in the background.

• Click the upvote button to vote; click again to remove your vote
• Vote counts are visible on idea cards and detail pages
• The idea author gets a notification when someone votes

Comments

Every idea has a threaded comment section. Comments support markdown and come in three types:

• Comment — general discussion
• Suggestion — propose a change or improvement
• Question — ask the author for clarification

The idea author can mark suggestions as incorporated to show the feedback was acted on.

Visibility

Ideas can be public or private:

• Public — visible to everyone in the feed and on your profile
• Private — only visible to you, your collaborators, and admins

Editing & Deleting

As the author, you can edit your idea at any time — update the title, description, tags, GitHub link, or visibility. You can also delete your idea, which removes it and all associated data (comments, votes, board, etc.) permanently.
