Problem
The roadmap only lives on one page. Visitors have to know where it is. Product teams want it reachable from anywhere in the site (and from other sites such as the main marketing site or app docs) without rebuilding it.
Proposal
1. Floating launcher widget
- Optional floating button ("Roadmap" / "Feedback", position bottom-right/left, color from the accent setting).
- Click opens a slide-in panel or modal with the board (compact list layout) loaded lazily.
- Visibility rules: all pages / selected pages / hide on specific pages / logged-in only. Respect
prefers-reduced-motion.
- Enabled from the Settings page; zero front-end cost when off.
2. Embeddable board for other sites
- Public endpoint
/?niroroadmap_embed=1&product=ID rendering a minimal, theme-neutral page for <iframe> use, with auto-resize through postMessage.
- Copy-paste embed snippet generator in admin (iframe and a one-line
<script> that injects the iframe).
- Allowed-origins setting (controls
Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors) so owners decide who can embed.
- Votes made in an embed must go through the same server-side de-duplication.
3. Shortcode/block polish
[niroroadmap_button] shortcode and Roadmap link block that open the popup/panel from any button.
Acceptance criteria
Notes
X-Frame-Options must not block our own embed route but should stay on for the rest of the site.
- Consider an
loading="lazy" iframe.
Priority rationale
Low. Growth feature; valuable after the core feedback loop is solid.
