Add Feedback-specific donation
(i hope this is the correct category, if not please move it; thanks)
This is about a feature suggestion (i strongly recommend).
UserVoice is a really good thing, as it allows direct consumer-to-developer-feedback and also gives a crowd based rating of the importance. But it cannot fully stress the importance of a single problem (because the only curency are the voices, which are limited to make them valueable; but if someone contributes to many topics he has to give less voices e.g.; or you are limited with one voice for one suggestions and so on). It would be nice, if additionally there would be a currency counterweighted by a real word value, as it could show the real world value.
So, I suggest that one can donate money to specific ideas. And e.g. the relating company could use that money specificly for developing a solution for the relating feedback idea.
E.g.: In an app is a featurevery important (e.g. lasso in xodo pdf android): For me a lasso tool is hugely important, I would easyly donate double digit euros only for that idea. This way I could express my real life value for that idea (which i cannot at the moment; at the moment i can only express my relative priority of a feedback compared to other feedbacks), and xodo would also have work compensation for working on the specific feedback, e.g. working on making a lasso tool based on the donated money specifically donated for that.
This donation feature could be optional activated by a uservoice using company.
The feedback-voice order would be like now be based on the ratings (not on donation).
Donation could be based on typical payment services?
What do you think? I would like very much to express my real world value of a specific feature by donation which would on the same time be a work compensation for specific time for that feature. Please let me express myself :)
There are a lot of complications with accepting donations for features, and is generally not a practice the vast majority of product teams would operate under.
