Build what your users actually want
Let users upvote the tasks and features that matter most to them. Every vote surfaces signal your team can act on — no spreadsheets, no surveys, no guesswork.
Voting
Any user who visits your public portal can vote on tasks. Each registered user gets one vote per task. Vote counts update in real time across all connected sessions — if you have 50 people on your portal at once and one of them votes, everyone sees the count update instantly.
Votes are always free. External users who vote and comment are never counted as seats — only your internal team members are billed.
Sorting by votes
The public board can be sorted by most popular, letting users discover what’s resonating with the community. Your team sees the same vote counts internally, making it easy to identify high-demand work.
Feedback submission
Public users can submit new tasks directly from your portal. Submissions can be:
- Freeform — a blank task form with title and description
- Template-based — you can require all submissions to use one of your issue templates, ensuring consistent structure
You can configure per-organization whether blank submissions are allowed, or whether users must pick a template. This keeps incoming feedback structured and actionable rather than noise.
Moderation controls
You control what public users can set on their submissions — whether they can choose a category, set a label, assign a priority, or only provide a title and description. This keeps your taxonomy clean.
Public comments
Users with an account can comment on public tasks. Comments have full rich-text support — headings, lists, code blocks, images, @mentions. Your team can reply in the same thread with public responses, making the task page a conversation between your team and your users.
Internal comments on the same task are visible only to org members and are never sent to external users.
Authentication for voters
Users sign in to vote and comment using OAuth (GitHub, Doras, Discord, Slack — whichever providers you’ve enabled). They don’t need a Sayr account invitation — they can sign up directly from your public portal.
How it works
Users discover your portal
Share your org's public URL — {your-org}.sayr.io — anywhere: in your app, your docs, your README, your support channel. Users arrive and see your public task board.
They vote, comment, and submit
Signed-in users vote on tasks they care about, leave public comments, and submit new requests. Everything is real-time — no page refreshes, no waiting.
Your team acts on the data
Sort internally by vote count to see what users want most. Use that signal to inform prioritization. When you mark something Done, users who voted on it can see it close out on the portal.
