Something I find discouraging with the Idea Informer (https://fg2app.idea.informer.com/): there are many items which have been implemented in some form or another in FGU (even in beta form), yet they still appear there. This gives the impression (whether it is accurate or not) that these items aren't being acted upon. As examples: Support for IPv6 and Native Mac/Linux. These both still show up in the list, even though they will not be implemented in FGC, and have been implemented in FGU.

Yep. But I personally don't expect Moon to spend hours dispositioning the hundreds or thousands of items on the Wish List until sometime after full release of FGU. It's all about prioritizing resources, I suspect most folks would rather have FGU worked on than the Wish List dispositioned.

I nominate LordEntrails to do it.

Lol. The reward for good work is more work!

Yes, I have been putting off updating the Idea Informer list until after full release of FGU. It's quite a daunting task, since there are thousands of requests. Also, we probably need to do some cleanup of older ideas (>1 year) with less than a minimum vote cutoff (<100?).

Thanks !?!?!?!

If it has tools to graph, looking at things like age and votes or just min votes might give you a good idea where the logical break is. For some reason, 50 seems too high for me as I suspect there are some older good ideas that have fewer. But don't know. Though I suspect a scatter plot of age vs votes would give you a good idea.

Idea Informer does not have any support for that. It's a very simple tool. We used to keep feature requests in massive forum threads; and Idea Informer was easier than that plus voting.

More comprehensive solutions are typically enterprise scale with enterprise pricing.

I get it. Didn't know if IdeaInformer had any type of export to CSV or such.

A quick search only gave me Nolt ($25/mo) and Fider (opensource) as reasonable alternatives for your use case. And without doing a live demo no idea if either one would be any better as IMO their websites are poor in giving detailed info.
