Can a prompt replace Nolt?

Build a single public feedback board and take moderation seriously from the start.

The board: post a title and description, one vote per person per post, comments, and five statuses with a public roadmap view derived from them. Server-rendered pages so every post has a real URL that search engines and support agents can link to.

Identity is the decision that shapes everything else. Pick one and enforce it: either email confirmation before a post or vote counts, or a signed token passed from your own application for logged-in users. Anonymous voting on a public board produces numbers that mean nothing, and building the board first and identity later means throwing away the vote data.

Build the moderation queue before launch, not after: hold every first post from a given email or IP for review, rate-limit posting to a few per hour per source, and give yourself a one-click ban that also hides everything that source ever posted. A public board attracts spam within days, and retrofitting moderation while it is being flooded is miserable.

Email voters when a status changes, batched per person, always with an unsubscribe link.

Run it on your own subdomain with automatic certificates through Caddy, and set up the roadmap as the default landing view — the roadmap is the reason people come back, the board is the reason they come once.

Out of scope: multiple boards, private boards, integrations, and any AI feature. Keep the schema small enough that a year of posts fits comfortably in SQLite.
