Providing Feedback and Making Your Voice Heard
Your experience with real hardware projects directly shapes what we build next. This isn't just feedback collection — your input determines which features get prioritized and how we solve the challenges you face every day.
How Your Input Shapes the Product
Direct Impact on Development Roadmap
Features you request and issues you report directly influence what we build next. When multiple beta users request the same capability, it moves up our priority list. Your needs become our development priorities.
Real Project Insights Matter Most
We're not looking for theoretical feedback. Share your experiences with actual planning sessions: What took longer than expected? What was easier? What made you switch back to your old tools? This real-world context helps us understand what engineers actually need.
Ways to Influence Development
Share Planning Session Experiences
Tell us about 2-3 real planning experiences using Soufflé. We want to understand how our tool fits into your actual workflow: What projects did you plan? What went smoothly? Where did you get stuck? How did stakeholders react to your exports?
Feature Prioritization Input
When we ask about which features to build next, your input as someone actively using the product for real projects is incredibly valuable. You know what's missing from your daily workflow.
Workflow Improvement Ideas
How could this feature make planning faster or better? What would save you time in your next project? What would make stakeholder presentations easier? Your workflow insights drive our feature development.
Getting Your Ideas Implemented
Be Specific About Your Use Case
Instead of "better exports," try "I need to show my manager just the critical path for our Q2 hardware deliverables." Specific scenarios help us understand exactly what you need.
Explain the Business Impact
Tell us why this feature matters: "This would save me 3 hours of manual timeline updates" or "This would help me get stakeholder approval faster." Business context helps us prioritize effectively.
Share Your Workarounds
If you've found creative ways to make Soufflé work for your specific needs, share them. Your workarounds often become features that help other users.
Community Influence
Peer Support Amplifies Your Voice
When other beta users agree with your suggestions or share similar needs, it shows us patterns across different hardware engineering contexts. Supporting each other's ideas strengthens the entire community's influence.
