Bulletin board widget

Wishlist New App Request
1

I run a nonprofit for a neurodiverse community of teens and adults and would love a “bulletin board” widget where we can post interesting activities and opportunities for our community. It would allow (not require) an image, a description, a link for further info, etc.

Hi there, @Catherine_Robertson :wave:

A huge thank you for adding this idea to the Wishlist!

Could you please share an example of how it should look? This would help us understand your idea better :slightly_smiling_face:

The Bulletin Board app would work as a centralized announcement and information hub that website owners can embed on their pages to share important updates with their community in a structured, non-intrusive way.

Instead of scattering information across popups, emails, or blog posts, the Bulletin Board provides one persistent, easy-to-update space where users can always find the latest notices.

How It Would Work

For the site owner (admin):

  • Create short bulletin posts (title + optional description)

  • Choose categories (e.g. Announcements, Updates, Events, Notices)

  • Control visibility (pin important posts, archive old ones)

  • Set publish dates or expiration dates

  • Moderate or disable user interaction (optional)

For the visitor (end user):

  • View updates in a clean, scrollable feed

  • Quickly identify important or pinned messages

  • Read without being interrupted by popups

  • Always access current and past announcements in one place

Key Features

  • Multiple layouts: list, cards, compact feed

  • Pin important bulletins to the top

  • Status labels (New, Important, Update)

  • Optional links inside bulletins (to Drive files, events, pages, etc.)

  • Date-based sorting

  • Search or filter by category (optional)

  • Responsive design (works smoothly on mobile)

Why This App Is Valuable

  • Reduces the need for intrusive popups

  • Keeps users informed without breaking navigation

  • Improves transparency and communication

  • Ideal for:

    • Schools and academies

    • Communities and memberships

    • Churches and nonprofits

    • Clubs, teams, and associations

    • Internal portals and student areas

Example Use Case

A music academy embeds the Bulletin Board on its student portal:

  • “New study materials available”

  • “Class schedule update”

  • “Holiday notice”

  • “Upcoming concert reminder”

Students always know where to check for official information, without relying on email or messaging apps.

Why It Fits Elfsight’s Ecosystem

  • Complements existing widgets (Popup, Announcement Bar, Feed)

  • Focuses on persistent communication, not temporary alerts

  • Easy to configure, powerful in daily use

  • High value for education, community, and SaaS websites

Summary

The Bulletin Board app would act as a simple, reliable communication layer between site owners and their audience — structured, calm, and always accessible.

It fills the gap between popups and blog posts, offering a tool that many communities need but currently build manually.

Many thanks for such a detailed comment!

We already have a request for this app and I’ve merged your comment with it. If the idea gains more votes, we might consider it in the future :slightly_smiling_face:
