Ask HN: What tools do you use to create project's public roadmap?
I am tasked with presenting the outline of the future of the project's development to the CEO so I want to leave a rather good impression and also make room for discussion in regards to what was outlined.
I'm not talking about kanban boards or "issue spreadsheets" (the new github projects feature), but more of something that you could show to the board of the directors as well as publish for the end users, like a one- or two-page presentation with defined high-level milestones.
I tried Notion, but it does not cut it in a sense a good-enough result requires too much of a tweaking.
It would have been nice if I could export features from github/gitlab to such a tool, group them by similarities or single out the bullet points and then rearrange in a visually-appealing manner.

- sarora27 5y agoWe use Nolt.io as our public roadmap for a side project we're running today. It allows our end users to add in suggestions, upvote other suggestions, and give us a running list of improvements to role out. Surprisingly cheap too
- flarg 5y agoYou'll struggle to get visually appealing and automatically created from source data into one output Do it manually Excel Lots of neat templates and easier to build something quickly One Page Project Manager is a well known and easy to manage method but not very pretty PowerPoint Lots of cool templates and examples are available and you can tweak them, add overlays etc easily; better when trying to fit a lot of information on one slide Draw.io Takes a while to get used to it but definitely easier to use for lots of graphics it you need it, has a neat set of infographics primitives
- kirso 5y agoExcel is fine, also Trello should work. Depends what you are trying to convey. Notion usually can serve that purposes easily too
