You Can Now Vote on What Gets Built Next

Day 47: The Feature Request Board

Every app I build gets shaped by what people actually ask for. I've had feature requests come in via the Connect IQ Store reviews, Instagram comments, emails — all over the place. It was messy and hard to prioritise.

So I built a proper system for it. There's now a public feature request board where you can see what other users have asked for, vote on the things you want, and add your own requests.

How it works

The board is organised by app. You'll see all my Garmin apps listed — watchfaces, widgets, data fields. Click one and you see its request list, sorted by vote count so the most-wanted features are always at the top.

Each request has a status:

• Open — on the list, hasn't been built yet
• Implemented — done and shipped in an update
• Not possible — technically impossible on Garmin hardware, or outside the scope of the app

Voting and submitting

To vote or submit a new request, you need to enter your email. This is just to prevent spam — no account, no password. You'll get a one-click verification email the first time.

Once verified:

• Upvote any request you also want — or remove your vote if you change your mind
• Submit a new request if something you want isn't on the list yet
• Search the existing requests before adding — there's a search bar at the top

How I use it

When I'm planning an update, the vote count is the first thing I check. A feature with 40 votes gets built before a feature with 3 votes. If you've ever left a review asking for something and wondered whether I saw it — this is the place where it actually counts.

I also reply to requests sometimes. If something isn't possible or is already planned, I'll mark it and add a note.
