Buildboard user docs

What Buildboard does

Buildboard gives a small product team one public place for feedback, roadmap visibility, and changelog updates.

Current user flows

• request a login link
• verify the link and start a session
• get a first workspace automatically
• publish a public board page
• share the public board or embed it

Auth and workspace setup

Buildboard is moving toward a more direct self-serve product flow: signup, email verification, login, and password recovery. The current scaffold still reflects earlier auth work, but the product direction is now more account-led than waitlist-led.

The public workspace route scaffold currently follows the pattern /w/your-slug.

For the implementation direction, see the auth + hardening roadmap or try the current auth UI scaffold at /auth.html.

Owner settings flow

The owner dashboard is evolving to let a founder manage the basics of their workspace directly. The first settings flow focuses on:

• workspace name
• workspace slug
• public tagline

This is the foundation for later owner-side flows like feedback moderation, embed setup, and roadmap/changelog management.

Embed overview

The free-tier embed will keep visible Buildboard attribution and expose targetable CSS classes so the host site can adapt colors and spacing.

<iframe src="https://buildboard.italyinsider.net/embed/your-slug" width="100%" height="760" style="border:0;border-radius:12px;" loading="lazy"></iframe>

The live scaffold route is /embed/your-slug.

Embed CSS class reference

• .bb-embed — root wrapper for the full embedded Buildboard surface; use it to set base font, colors, spacing, or global background treatment.
• .bb-embed__header — top section containing workspace title and short context; use it to adapt header background, border, and typography.
• .bb-embed__feedback-list — container around the feature-request list; useful when you want feedback requests to visually match cards or panels from the host site.
• .bb-embed__roadmap-list — roadmap section wrapper; use it to style roadmap blocks differently from feedback or changelog areas.
• .bb-embed__changelog-list — changelog section wrapper; useful for update/news styling on the host site.
• .bb-embed__card — generic reusable card block inside the embed; use it for borders, shadows, padding, and surface color.
• .bb-embed__button — action buttons such as vote or interaction controls; use it to align button colors and radius with the host brand.
• .bb-embed__attribution — the free-tier attribution strip linking back to Buildboard; keep it visible, but you can adapt its colors so it fits the host site better.

Example host-side CSS override

.bb-embed {
  --host-accent: #f97316;
}

.bb-embed__header,
.bb-embed__card {
  border-color: rgba(249, 115, 22, 0.35);
}

.bb-embed__button {
  background: var(--host-accent);
}

Feedback to roadmap workflow

Buildboard is evolving toward a visible loop:

• a visitor submits a feature request
• the owner reviews it
• the owner links it to a roadmap item
• the roadmap item later moves toward shipped
• the changelog closes the loop publicly
