Public Feedback Flows
Requests and issues can also be exposed on public project pages when build-in-public is enabled.
Important behavior:
- Public visitors can browse public request and issue boards without signing in.
- Creating a new request or issue requires authentication.
- Commenting also requires authentication.
This makes it possible to expose intake publicly without allowing anonymous editing.
When to Use Each
| Use Requests when… | Use Issues when… |
|---|---|
| You are collecting ideas, demand signals, or product suggestions | You are tracking a defect, regression, or broken workflow |
| You want votes to help prioritize | You need a clear bug lifecycle with status and priority |
| You may turn customer demand into initiatives later | You may turn a fix into work items immediately |
