A practical workflow for turning GitHub PRs into user-facing changelogs
Original: Your changelog page has no readers — here's what actually works
Short summary
Most indie SaaS founders neglect changelogs because writing release notes interrupts shipping flow, leading to user churn and redundant support tickets. The post recommends pulling merged GitHub PR titles, reframing them from technical to user-facing language, and grouping by Features, Fixes, and Improvements. The author pitches a free GitHub changelog generator tool and a paid in-app changelog product called Shiplog at $19/month.
- •Changelogs are skipped because they interrupt shipping, not because founders don't care
