Hi,

Can I just ask, out of interest, how many votes would an idea need to get to be considered by Expensify? Or are there other factors, such as the ease to implement an idea, seen as more important than the number of votes?

I can see some great ideas on this forum that have not yet been implemented and I am just curious as to the main factors for implementing an idea?

In addition, are there any examples where Expensify have implemented features as a result of the idea being posted on this forum?

Many thanks.

There are a lot of different factors that go into implementing a new idea. The idea needs to fit with Expensify's overall goals and also be able to be implemented without affecting the rest of our products and other users already using the feature.

Gauging demand for a feature is important because we have ideas all the time for product updates, however, if it's not something users are asking for, we aren't going to use valuable engineering resources on it.

To see other ideas that are in development or have been released, go to the Ideas category and filter for "Live feature released!" or "In Development".

Do these guidelines apply to the CEO or just the rest of us peons? Things like:

-being polite and respectful - i.e. him implying that anyone that votes different from him is "a threat to democracy"?

-not spamming - i.e. send out political messages that his customers didn't ask for.

Or, is this the typical, "rules for thee but not for me" approach that tyrants like to use?
