actualNoteContentPart: Getting feedback from our users is one of the most important tasks we undertake. Do we take it too seriously? Some will say "yes," and we agree that too democratic => eventual product bloat, after adding everything that everybody ever wanted. So democratic rule has to be paired with what our Founders ([original]()  and [subscribed]() ) believe. But on the whole, Amplenote uses a democratic approach in planning what to build next.
  
  Our user voting boards are the de facto roadmap for Amplenote. By implication, every user of Amplenote is a part-Founder of it, because they are influencing what gets built. Here is the tl;dr on how the voting boards compare:
  
  
  |  | **Public Voting Board** | **Supporter Voting Board** | 
  | **Influence on Amplenote roadmap** | Strong | Strong | 
  | **Purpose** | What could make product useful to a larger audience? | What matters most to customers who sustain our development? | 
  | **Feature suggestions** | Anyone can suggest | Those with votes to cast can suggest | 
  | **Vote expiration** | No expiration | Expire if Supporter available votes drop | 
  | **Total vote limit (limit per feature)** | No limit (one vote per feature) | Up to 15 votes available (up to 4 votes cast per feature) | 
  | **Suggestion expiration** | No expiration | Expire if no votes are cast for suggestion | 
  | **Suggestion approval process** | Admin-reviewed | Automatic, with periodic audits |

  # Source #1: Public feature voting board
  The main public feature voting board can be found at [https://amplenote.featureupvote.com](https://amplenote.featureupvote.com) . 
  
  This list keeps the full universe of ideas contributed by past and present Amplenote customers. Any user can sign up to the public feature voting board and make as many suggestions as they like. We strive to solve at least two of the top 10 public voted features with each release.
  
  Example features we have launched due to demand from users: [Peek Viewer: Sidebar for multi-note viewing](/help/peek_viewer_sidebar_note_view) , [Inline Tags and Note Reference Filtering](https://www.amplenote.com/notes/62ccdd04-76da-11ec-b1d8-1eca04f4fc71) , and many, many more (filter by "Done" when visiting the board). 
  
  # Source #2: Supporter voting board
  The supporter feature voting board can be found at [amplenote.com/suggested_features](https://www.amplenote.com/suggested_features) .
  
  This list tracks what features will make the biggest difference to the Founders and other users who are actively supporting Amplenote (with money or time) on our journey. One user can potentially accumulate up to 15 votes for the Supporter voting board, though there is a limit of 4 votes cast on any particular suggestion.
