# Introduction

> What Bettter is and how its feature board, roadmap, changelog, and support portal fit together.

Bettter is a one-time-payment feedback platform for indie makers, SaaS founders, and product teams. You collect feature requests, share a public roadmap, publish a changelog, and offer support — without monthly subscription fees.

## What Bettter includes

Each **project** gives you four customer-facing modules and a settings panel to configure them.

</Columns>

## How a project fits together

<Note>
  A **project** is not a generic workspace. It is one complete feedback portal with its own subdomain (`{slug}.bettter.app`), four tabs, and all related settings.

    Roadmap[Roadmap]
    Changelog[Changelog]
    Support[Support]
  end
  Owner[Owner dashboard] --> project
  project --> Portal[Public portal]
```

You manage content in the **dashboard** (owner admin area). Your customers interact with the **public portal** at your project subdomain or custom domain.

## Owner vs visitor

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Owner dashboard">
    Sign in at [bettter.app/dashboard](https://bettter.app/dashboard) to create projects, edit settings, manage features, drag cards on the roadmap, and publish changelog entries. Opening a project lands on its Features board — there is no separate Dashboard tab inside a project.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Public portal">
    Visitors browse your feature board, read the roadmap and changelog, submit support tickets, and — when enabled — suggest features, vote, and comment after signing in. Pending features are visible only to you, not on the public board.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
