How do wishes work + some helpful links (Top / New wishes)

[Sandroid]

As once in a while these questions pop up, i figured let's do a wishlist Q&A with some additional helpful information. Feel free to ask a question if something is unclear or there is no answer to your question.

 

Creating a wish

1. Users can create a wish in Draft wishes
   (Wishlist is only for fully vetted and votable wishes)
2. Once a wish is created the Moderator Team will scout and correct them if necessary. They may also ask some further questions to help clarify the intent of the wish and to make it as clear as possible.
3. After this, it is assigned to Polyend for Review
4. If it is considered a feature in-line with Polyends product vision and technically feasible, it will be opened for public voting.

Voting

• Voting is done via a small box on the top of a wish:
  
  
• Each user can give out a max. of 10 votes
• If you have reached your limit but want to give a vote to something, you’ll have to remove a vote from one of the wishes you already gave a vote to.
• Once a wish is fulfilled, you will receive one vote back.

 Please keep in mind that adding a like or does NOT count as a vote.

Wishlist Links

• Overview of your personal votes

These will not work for regular users

How do the categories work, specifically would “synths-playplus” also relate to Synth, because some/all engines are the same? So would I have to add that to some of the wishes for Synth that releate to engines, or would a moderator do this?

@Lizard-of-Oz

So would I have to add specific component tags to wishes, or would moderators do this?

That is a very good question - thanks for asking @Lizard-of-Oz

All we ask for is that you add tags for the product(s) your wish is for.

You don’t have to worry about the specific component tags.
Polyend and us moderators will take care of that.

Hello,

I have a question concerning this Knowledge article:

How this Wishlist works

Vote, propose and discuss new features and improvements. The Polyend team invites community members to propose and vote on wishes for our roadmap. We welcome wishes about our products, our website, this community space, and anything we do. See Writing a good feature request for more details. We develop our products following our vision and gathering feedback in many ways. This Wishlist is an important source of feedback but not the only one. Your votes help drive our attention but don’t dicta…

“We develop our products following our vision and gathering feedback in many ways.”

Question:
What is the vision of Polyend?

What is the vision of Polyend?

Good question, the Polyend Legacy Page describes the Polyend’s mission:

to create innovative music hardware.

This article explains the company’s philosophy:

We like doing things differently, which is a more risky and challenging path, but this is who we are — curious, foolish, and ambitious.

The vision remains a secret, though.
