Is there a way to vote for feature requests?

How strong is the influence of this community on the decisions to include new features in the Obsidian roadmap, i.e., do our votes count?

[mdroid]

I think ‘Likes’ are equivalent to ‘votes’.
While I’m not a mod or developer, I believe they do ‘count’.

Here’s a good read on it:

Feature voting

Since there are so many feature requests here, I think it would be benefitial to have a more systematic way of both collecting features and voting for features than forum postings and likes, i.e. an issue tracker or something like UserVoice. It could even be a weighted voting where users who bought a license are given a greater say. This could also motivate more people to buy a license and help creating a sustainable business while still not making it a commercial thing.

And according to What are "Likes"? - faq - Discourse Meta

Likes affect post rankings, such as Top, Weekly Digests, Summarize This Topic.

So Liking, commenting, etc, will all cumulatively affect the priority of the features of Obsidian
