Migrate Feature Requests from Spreadsheets

A spreadsheet migration should keep only requests worth exposing to users. Request Mark gives those requests a public page, status, votes, comments, and admin updates.

When it helps

Why teams use this

Scattered feedback slows small teams down

startups, indie hackers, SaaS teams, and micro-SaaS builders often hear requests across email, support, calls, chat, and founder replies. Request Mark gives that signal a structured place to live.

Internal tools are not public feedback tools

Delivery tools are useful after a decision is made. A feedback board helps users submit, vote, and follow requests before work becomes an internal ticket.

Visible progress builds trust

Statuses and admin updates help users understand whether a request is new, planned, in progress, shipped, or closed.

What this helps you do

Remove duplicates before creating requests.
Rewrite vague rows into clear feature titles.
Create boards by product, audience, or workflow.
Share the new board instead of editing spreadsheet rows manually.

After setup

What improves after setup

A clearer intake path

Teams get one page to share when a customer asks for a feature, instead of manually copying notes into a spreadsheet or backlog.

Better prioritization signals

Votes, comments, requester identity, and status history create a more useful demand picture than memory or gut feel.

A faster path to delivery

When a request has enough signal, the team can move it into Linear, Trello, or the delivery system that owns implementation.

FAQ

Should every spreadsheet row become a request?+

No. Migrate only active, clear, and customer-relevant requests. A cleaner board creates better signal.
