Announcing Featurebase SDK, User Module & Segmentation Rework, MRR prioritization, API documentation, and more
We're super excited to launch huge improvements to Featurebase to help you manage and analyze user feedback even better. ✨
Here's what's new:
Featurebase SDK: You can now use our SDK to easily sync your user data with Featurebase to sort and view posts by custom attributes, user monthly spending, and more.
User Segmentation: We've added advanced user segmentation to Featurebase to help you sort feedback by groups that matter the most.
Get More Insights From Posts: The data you send to Featurebase about your users is now directly visible from the post view, so you always know who the feedback author is.
Prioritize posts from important customers: When you identify users, you can add their monthly spending. If that data is available, it is used to show you the total value of the post by adding up the value of all upvoters - enabling better feature prioritization.
User Module Rework: We've redesigned the User Module from the ground up to be more efficient and easier to use.
Improvements:
Dropdown Improvements: We've made several enhancements to the dropdown menus for a smoother user experience. All important dropdowns now support keyboard shortcuts and allow you to manage posts faster.

Our goal is to make Featurebase the best possible user feedback tool, and we've got a super exciting product roadmap ahead.
