Quick answer

The simplest path is to keep Linear internal and publish through Feedvote

Create the work in Linear, connect Feedvote, then choose the teams, issues, projects, and labels that belong in the customer-facing view. Map internal states to clear roadmap columns, set public or customer-specific visibility, and let Feedvote keep the shared roadmap current while Linear remains your private planning system.

step 1

Choose the Linear work customers should see

Feedvote's import wizard turns a large Linear workspace into a deliberate publishing source. Choose the content and preview the scope before records are created.

  • Import issues, projects, or a combined roadmap
  • Select source teams and filter by projects, issue labels, or project labels
  • Set one created-date condition, completed-work handling, and comment rules

step 2

Set public and customer-specific visibility

A roadmap can be broadly public without making every item public. Feedvote separates anonymous public visibility from named customer-group access.

  • Use a public-board label filter for anonymous visitors
  • Assign selected work to customer groups manually
  • Automate issue and project access with separate Linear label rules

step 3

Map Linear progress to public roadmap columns

Turn internal delivery status into simple customer-facing labels like planned, in progress, and shipped.

  • Use plain-language roadmap stages
  • Avoid exposing engineering-only workflow details
  • Keep the public roadmap current as Linear changes

step 4

Publish the roadmap on a clean public page

Give customers, prospects, and stakeholders a place to check progress before they ask your team for a status update.

  • Share a public roadmap link in your app, docs, or help center
  • Use branded pages instead of exposing internal tools
  • Show roadmap progress next to related feedback

step 5

Announce shipped Linear work to customers

When a roadmap item ships, Feedvote helps turn that progress into updates customers can actually read.

  • Notify voters when linked work moves forward
  • Publish customer-friendly changelog posts
  • Reduce repeat questions about roadmap status

Why Feedvote

Feedvote vs a static Linear roadmap workaround

Docs pages and spreadsheets can show a roadmap snapshot. Feedvote keeps the roadmap connected to customer requests and Linear progress.

Static docs page

A docs page is easy to publish, but every status change becomes manual upkeep.

Spreadsheet roadmap

A spreadsheet works internally, but it is not built for customer votes, notifications, or a polished public board.

Public issue tracker

An issue tracker can expose too much implementation detail and can be hard for non-technical customers to scan.

Feedvote publishes the customer-facing version

  • Connect roadmap items to customer feedback
  • Show simple public statuses instead of internal workflows
  • Keep Linear as your private execution system
  • Notify customers when public roadmap items change

Common questions

Linear feedback and roadmap FAQ

Can I make a Linear roadmap public?

Yes. Feedvote gives Linear teams a public roadmap layer so selected work can be shared with customers while private Linear work stays internal.

Should every Linear issue appear on a public roadmap?

No. Most teams publish only customer-relevant work. Feedvote helps you keep private work hidden and show the roadmap items that matter externally.

Can Feedvote show planned and shipped work?

Yes. Feedvote can show customer-facing roadmap stages such as planned, in progress, and shipped.

Do customers need Linear accounts?

No. Customers can view the roadmap and follow updates in Feedvote without access to your Linear workspace.

Can I filter which Linear issues and projects are imported?

Yes. Choose source teams, issues, projects, Linear projects, issue labels, project labels, dates, completed work, and comment behavior before previewing the import.

Can different customers see different roadmap items?

Yes. Customer groups can receive manual item access or automatic access to matching Linear issues and projects based on separate label rules.
