Your Users Have Ideas. Now They Have a Voice.

Votlie is a beautiful, self-hosted feature voting board that lets your users submit, vote on, and discuss the features they want most. Stop guessing what to build next. Let your community decide — and watch engagement soar.

Built with Laravel and Vue.js. Fully white-labelable. Ready to deploy in minutes.

How It Works

Your users land on a clean, modern feedback board. They browse existing feature requests, upvote the ones they care about, and submit new ideas. Every vote is a signal. Every comment is a conversation. You get a real-time pulse on what your customers actually want.

Behind the scenes, your admin panel gives you full control — analytics, moderation, status updates, and team collaboration tools.

Everything Your Feedback Board Needs

Feature Submissions & Voting

Users submit feature requests with titles, descriptions, and categories. The community votes to surface the highest-priority ideas. Set vote limits per user (1, 3, 5, or unlimited) to keep things focused.

Public Roadmap

Share your product roadmap at /roadmap. Features are grouped by status — Planned, In Progress, and Completed — so your community always knows what’s coming next.

Comments & Threaded Replies

Every feature has its own discussion thread. Users comment, reply, and collaborate. Admins can join the conversation to ask clarifying questions or share updates.

Smart Moderation

Enable approval-based submissions. Every new feature goes through a moderation queue before going public. Approve, reject with a reason, or merge duplicates — transferring all votes automatically.

Automatic Spam Detection

Built-in content moderation catches blocked words, excessive links, all-caps spam, and repeated character patterns. Flagged content is held for review. Your board stays clean without constant babysitting.

Full Admin Dashboard

See everything at a glance — total votes, active users, comments, page views, activity charts, category distribution, and top features. Export analytics as CSV for any date range.

White-Label Everything

The built-in Theme Editor gives you pixel-level control over your board’s appearance. No code required. Everything is visual.

Brand Identity – Custom logo (light + dark mode), favicon, and app name
Typography – Choose from 10 premium Google Fonts for body and headings
Color Palettes – Full light and dark mode color systems with 17+ customizable tokens
Layout Control – Container width, sidebar width, card padding, spacing units
Component Sizing – Border radius, button padding, input padding, card spacing
Status Colors – Custom colors for each feature status
Preset Themes – Start from built-in themes or create your own
Import / Export – Save themes as JSON and reuse across installations

Your users will never know it’s not custom-built. Your brand. Your colors. Your board.

Reduce sign-up friction with one-click Google sign-in. Configurable directly from the admin panel — just enter your Client ID and Secret. Users can also connect Google to an existing account from their Settings page.

Email Notifications Done Right

Fully configurable email system with SMTP, Sendmail, or Log drivers. Works with Gmail, Mailgun, Amazon SES, SendGrid, and any standard SMTP provider.

Admins get notified on new submissions
Users get notified on status changes, comments, and replies
Optional weekly digest emails
Per-user notification preferences (opt-in / opt-out)
Branded email templates with your app name and colors
Test email button to verify configuration instantly

User Management & Reports

User Management

View all users with detailed stats — submissions, votes, comments, last active time. Change roles (Admin / User), set status (Active / Inactive / Banned), or bulk-update multiple users at once.

Report System

Users can report features, comments, or other users with categorized reasons. Admins review reports and take action — warn, hide content, delete, or ban. Related reports on the same content are automatically grouped.

Warning System

Issue warnings that appear as banners in the app. Users must acknowledge warnings. Repeated violations lead to bans. Full warning history is tracked.

Security Built In

CSRF protection on all forms
XSS prevention via Blade and Vue.js auto-escaping
SQL injection prevention with Eloquent ORM parameterized queries
Bcrypt password hashing (12 rounds)
Security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options)
Rate limiting on login, registration, submissions, comments, and votes
Encrypted OAuth tokens and sensitive settings at rest
Signed, time-limited password reset and email verification tokens
File upload security with hashed filenames
