For Municipalities & Cities
The participation platform for your municipality
Collect ideas from your citizens, let them vote, and show transparently what comes of it. No IT project, no cookie banner.
Whether it's urban development, a participatory budget, or the classic issue reporter: MyIdeas gives your municipality a digital participation platform that people actually use. Your citizens submit ideas, comment, react, vote, and follow a public progress wall to see what's happening right now. Instead of letting ideas vanish into filing cabinets, you make participation visible. And because every municipality gets its own branded instance on its own subdomain, the platform feels like a genuine part of your town.
MyIdeas is built as a participation platform for towns, cities, and districts, but it's deliberately kept simple. You don't need a big procurement process or your own IT department: setup takes about two minutes, hosting is in Germany, and everything is GDPR-compliant without a cookie banner. So you can start small, maybe with a cycle-path dialog or a green-space survey, and turn participation into a lasting part of your administration step by step.
Make everything visible from idea to delivery
The frustration in many municipalities: citizen ideas come in, but nobody hears what happens next. The public progress wall moves every idea transparently from New to Done and shows that participation is meant seriously.
- A Kanban roadmap from New to Done, visible to everyone
- Voting shows you what truly matters to people
- Threaded comments and reactions instead of anger in Facebook groups
Digital citizen participation without an IT project
There's no software to install and no servers to run. Your branded instance runs on its own subdomain, optionally under your own domain via CNAME, with your logo and your colors.
- Ready in 2 minutes, no training or manual required
- Your own logo, themes, and dark mode for your brand
- Password-free SMS login lowers the barrier for every generation
Data protection that convinces citizens and staff
For a municipality, data protection isn't a nice-to-have, it's mandatory. MyIdeas is GDPR-compliant without a cookie banner, uses cookie-free analytics, and is hosted exclusively in Germany.
- Hosting in Germany with strict tenant data isolation
- Cookie-free analytics, no annoying banner for citizens
- AI-assisted moderation keeps discussions civil
