Product Roadmap

What we’re building next.

A transparent look at what’s live, what’s next, and what we’re exploring as Billboard grows from bill summaries into a deeper civic information tool.

This roadmap is organized by suggested build order, not dates. Priorities can shift as we learn what creates the clearest value for users.

Starting point

Billboard’s first job is clarity: AI-powered summaries, real-world “So What” context, bill tracking, and shareable bill pages.

Representative-facing delivery workflows below are planned or exploratory. They are called out separately from the app features available now.

Available Now

Billboard already helps users follow bills, set preferences, vote, and compare public voting patterns with official congressional activity.

Bill preference settings Users can tune the bills they see around issue areas like taxes, defense, health care, and more.
User voting on bills Users can record their position on bills inside the app.
State and district vote views Users can view aggregated, anonymous voting patterns by state and district.
Congress comparison views Users can see how they vote and how that compares with Congress members.
Personalized weekly digest A simple recap of the bills, votes, and activity most relevant to each user.
Smarter bill alerts More useful notifications when followed bills change, advance, pass, or fail.
Representative vote context Context to help users understand how official votes compare with the bills they track.

Next Up

The next layer focuses on turning aggregated, anonymous user feedback into useful context for congressional offices and the people they represent.

Anonymous aggregated vote reports to representatives Planned reports that send consolidated, anonymized user votes to relevant representatives so congressional offices can better understand constituent feedback before key votes.
Congress member alignment views Future tools to compare official voting patterns with constituent sentiment over time.
Optional user feedback Exploring ways for users to attach concise feedback that could be shared through future workflows.

After That

Once the core experience is stronger, Billboard can add broader views of alignment, elections, and district-level patterns.

Election summaries and candidates Plain-English election context, incumbent records, and issue-by-issue movement.
District and state reports Premium reporting that summarizes vote patterns, trends, and issue movement.

Longer-Term Bets

Longer-term work could turn Billboard’s reporting stack into tools that partners, publishers, and civic organizations can use.

Opt-in partner research Exploring sponsored or partner polls as a clearly labeled, optional layer.
API access Paid access to legislative and reporting data for power users, partners, and developers.
White-label reporting Packaged reporting tools for civic groups, campaigns, and publishers.
