About Boarbs
Boarbs is a feedback and roadmap tool for product teams. It gives you a public board where users submit ideas and vote on them, so you can see which requests carry the most demand and use that signal when deciding what to build next.
Users do not need to log in to submit or vote. You share the board link or embed the board in your app, rank items by votes, drag them into a plan and mark them as done, at which point users are notified. The site positions Boarbs as a lightweight alternative to Canny, with setup said to take about two minutes.
Boarbs is a hosted commercial service currently in public beta, with docs, a changelog and a pricing section. It states that no credit card is required and that it is free for small teams.
