Really good value and features. Not really agency/multi-brand friendly yet.

I grabbed Productstash after the AnnounceFly free deal (for update notifications) left me a little bummed that there was only one product included... but hey, it was free.

Honestly, I didn't really need a roadmap because... well, because Kanban boards have taken over the planet. They're so ubiquitous that I think my cat probably has a few made out in the garage.

But, I don't (at least didn't until Productstash) have a user idea submission board. Let alone that integrates with a roadmap and update notification embed.

I have zero SaaS products with an MRR. I do have a podcast, a corporate training and consulting business, and university students. Productstash gives me the flexibility to address all of these in one LTD. That type of deal is why we're here. Given that complex usecase, I have a couple of ideas.

🧠 The naming is all customizable, and I love that. However, the settings are company wide. Even within one company, there may be roadmaps or user idea boards that need different terminology. It'd be nice to have this scoped to the product and not the account.

🧠 Speaking of scope: the logo is scoped to the account and not the product. This presents a bit of a problem when it comes to multiple brands that are kept unique for whatever reason (like my consulting and my teaching are separate).

ā“ I can't figure out how to rename "Roadmap", "Updates", and "Features" even though I'm pretty sure I read that was customizable as well.

ā“ I also can't figure out how to turn off one or more of that triumvirate. Maybe I just want a Roadmap, or just Features and Updates?

ā“ Speaking of can't... how do you change the quicklinks in the embed? That was done on the Productstash website, can we not do that or am I missing something?

ā“ What does "toggle features" do? The button seems to be broken and clicking it does nothing. Is it partly an answer to my above questions, or a mystery forever? :-)

Great product... just a few things I'd love to see over time. Mainly, keep the customization going and make it scoped to products, not the account.

Hey ChaseRaz,

Thanks for the review & great feedback! Let me try to address some of the points that I can :)!

Logos can be added per Product, and when added these override the account level logos when viewing public roadmaps, so you should be able to brand products to a certain extent.

Renaming Products / Roadmaps / Updates / Ideas is something we're currently working on. Expect to see this in October.

Turning content on/off - this is possible but only for your public view: you can read a bit more on that here https://desk.zoho.com/portal/productstash/en/kb/articles/configuring-your-public-canvas

Custom quick Links is another fairly new feature we've added in the last week or so. You can add your own custom links from the Embed Code settings page, I've just added some details on that here https://desk.zoho.com/portal/productstash/en/kb/articles/adding-quick-links-to-your-widget

"Toggle features" will toggle all feature accordions across all your roadmap cards at once, rather than having to expand / collapse each one to see more detail. This should only display if you've configured your roadmap to include displaying Features on Roadmap cards.

Hope that helps to clarify some of your points!

Cheers,
Reuben.
