Your changelog shouldn’t be an afterthought.
Most release notes are either “bug fixes and improvements” or a wall of Jira tickets nobody reads. Both waste the one moment your users are actually paying attention.
Shipping is only half the job. The other half is telling people what you shipped. They’re not separate things — they’re the same loop. Build, release, communicate. That’s how you earn trust.
We think releases are worth a few extra minutes. Not to write marketing copy — to write something human. What changed, why it matters, what’s next. You don’t need a marketing department to communicate well. You just need to care enough to say something real.
Small teams, solo founders, indie hackers. Your changelog is part of that story. Make it count.
ReleasePad makes that easy.
Ship features. Make sure people actually know.

🚀
Stop building into the void
You shipped that feature at 2am. Three users noticed. A changelog means your work actually exists to the people paying for it.
💪
Users who see progress, stay
Nobody churns from a product that keeps getting better—they churn from products that feel abandoned. Show the receipts.
📬
Fewer “does it do X?” emails
Half your support tickets are about features you already built. A changelog is documentation that people actually read.
So how does this actually work? 🤓
Your commits become your changelog. (Github Integration)
Here’s the deal: you already documented what you built in your commit messages and PR descriptions. Why write it again? Plug in GitHub, and ReleasePad turns your git history into a changelog that actually makes sense to humans (with the help of LLM’s).
✅ Ship now, document never — Changelogs update automatically as you merge. No more “I’ll write release notes later” lies to yourself.
✅ Ship at 2am without the morning-after regret — Deploy when you’re in the zone, wake up to release notes that already exist. Past-you finally stopped screwing over future-you.
Embedded Changelog (In-App Widget)
Your users are already in your app. That’s when they should hear about what’s new.
One HTML snippet. No dependencies. No build step drama. Just paste it in and your changelog shows up where it matters—right inside your product.
New features, fixes, improvements—your users see them when they’re actually using the thing, not buried in an email they’ll never open.
4.3kb gzipped. Lighter than your favicon. It won’t touch your load times.
Your Changelog Deserves a Home, Not a Graveyard
You shipped something great. Don’t hide it behind three dropdown menus. Give your updates a real home — a dedicated, brandable page your users can actually find, bookmark, and obsess over.
✅ Big and beautiful — Full-screen layout that makes your releases look like the main event, not an afterthought.
✅ SEO that works — White-label it under your domain. Every update becomes searchable, rankable content that pulls in developers who Google weird error messages at 2am.
Ship loud. Get found. Let the work speak.

What Landed (and What Flopped) – Analytics
Stop guessing what your users want. See what they actually clicked.
Bullets:
✅ See what’s hot — Which updates got clicks, which got crickets. No more shouting into the void.
✅ Spot the patterns — Track interest over time. Know which features make people lean in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a release notes software or changelog platform?
Think of release notes software as your go-to tool for keeping users in the loop. It helps you share what’s new — whether that’s a shiny new feature, a pesky bug you just squashed, or improvements that make your product even better. While it’s built with your users in mind, it works great for keeping your team informed too.
How does it work? The platform pulls together all the important details about your latest changes into clean, easy-to-read updates — so your users always know what’s happening without having to dig around.
Whether it’s a developer or a technical writer crafting the notes, release notes software makes sure everything looks polished and actually enjoyable to read. The best part? You can learn from how users engage with your updates, helping you make smarter decisions about what to build next — and share those updates in a way that genuinely resonates with your
audience.
What is the point of release notes?
Release notes are your direct line to your users. They let you share what’s new — whether it’s a brand-new product, a cool feature, or a handful of improvements and fixes. By keeping your users up to date, you help them get the full value out of everything your product has to offer. Think of release notes as a conversation with your customers, where you walk them through what’s changed and why it matters — all in a clear, organized way.
Here’s the thing: not every user is going to notice changes on their own. And that’s exactly why release notes matter so much. You’ve put in the time and effort to build great features and fix bugs — your users deserve to know about it! Because let’s be honest, if they don’t know a new feature exists, it might as well not exist at all. Release notes make sure all that hard work actually gets the attention it deserves.
What should be included in a release note or changelog entry?
First things first — make sure you include a clear title with your company and product name. You want your users to know right away who the update is coming from.
Next, help your readers quickly understand what kind of update they’re looking at. Is it a new feature? An improvement? A bug fix? Adding a simple category tag makes it easy for users to spot what matters most to them.
From there, write a short description of what changed. Keep it clear and to the point, and whenever possible, add images or videos to bring the update to life — a quick screenshot or demo can go a long way. Don’t forget to highlight why this change matters and how it makes their experience better.
And last but definitely not least — always include the release date so users know exactly when the update went live.
