KjerrSuggestions in the open
Each suggestion has a title, details and up to 5 files. Everyone allowed in can read it, comment and vote. It is a feedback board pointed at your own people.
A digital suggestion box
where every idea gets an answer.
Kjerr works as a digital suggestion box for a company or a customer base: people post ideas on a board, vote on each other's, and get an email when the status changes. Limit sign-in to your own email domain and it becomes an employee suggestion box nobody outside can open.
An online suggestion box people can see into
A box on the wall fails because nobody sees what went in or what came of it. An online suggestion box fixes both, as long as ideas are visible, ranked and answered.
A status on every suggestion
Under consideration, Planned, In Development, Shipped, Declined by default. Rename them to fit, for example Accepted and Done. Declined, with a reason, counts as an answer.
Everyone hears back
A status change or a reply emails the person who suggested it and everyone who voted. That is the feedback loop, closed.
An employee suggestion box, limited to your company
For ideas from inside the company the board has to be closed to outsiders and effortless for colleagues. Three settings do it.
- Members-only: every visitor signs in before reading anything.
- Allowed email domains: with example.com on the list, only addresses at example.com and its subdomains can sign up or sign in.
- Never indexed: a members-only board tells search engines and AI crawlers to stay out.
- No password to manage if you have your own login: sign people in with a token from it, as the single sign-on docs describe.
- A teammate can post a suggestion for a colleague who mentioned it in a meeting.
Setting up a virtual suggestion box
- Create the workspace. It is live at yourname.kjerr.io about a minute after you sign up.
- Close the door. Under Voter access, make the board members-only and add your email domain.
- Shape the form. Edit the labels and add a field of your own, such as which office or team the idea is about. The form takes up to 10 fields.
- Add topics. One per department or theme, each with its own colour if you like.
- Share the link. Put it in the intranet, the onboarding checklist and the all-hands slides.
- Answer. Give every suggestion a status or a reply. The board is only as alive as its answers.
What this suggestion box is not
Kjerr is a board with votes and answers. If you need one of these, look elsewhere:
- Anonymous posting. Every suggestion has a person behind it.
- Surveys, polls or scored questionnaires.
- Rewards, points or leaderboards for contributors.
- A kiosk, a QR poster or anything physical.
- A Slack or Teams integration.
Who it is for
Companies that want suggestions from employees or customers in one visible place, with an answer on each. Colleagues in several countries can each read the board in their own language; see multilingual feedback. For requests about a product, the same board collects feature requests.
Questions, answered plainly.
What is a digital suggestion box?
A digital suggestion box is a web page where employees or customers post ideas, in place of a slot in a wall. The good ones also show what others suggested, let people vote, and report back on what happened to each idea.
Is a Kjerr suggestion box anonymous?
No. Every post, vote and comment belongs to a signed-in person with an email address. Other visitors see a display name and never the address; your team sees who posted. If anonymity is the point, a form tool is the better fit.
Can I limit the suggestion box to employees?
Yes. Make the board members-only and list your email domains. Only people with an address at those domains can sign up or sign in, and nobody else can read the board.
What is the difference between an idea box and a suggestion box?
None that matters. An idea box is the same thing under a name that sounds less like complaints. Both collect proposals from the people closest to the work and both fail the same way, when nobody answers.
How is this different from a form?
A form collects suggestions into a sheet only the organiser sees. A board shows every suggestion to everyone allowed in, ranks them by votes, and emails the author and the voters when the status changes.
What does it cost?
Kjerr is free during early access, with every feature included and no credit card. When paid plans arrive they will be priced per workspace, never per admin seat and never per tracked user, so the number of people who post, vote or comment never changes the bill.
