Why I Stopped Writing Changelogs (And How I Automated Them Instead)
Short summary
Founders skip changelogs because writing them takes 45 minutes and kills shipping momentum, leading to support overhead, low feature adoption, and perceived stagnation. Shiplog automates this by connecting to GitHub, reading merged PRs, and generating customer-friendly release notes with AI, publishing them to changelog, in-app widget, and email digests automatically.
- •Changelog friction causes support waste, missed feature adoption, and perceived product stagnation
- •Shiplog uses AI to auto-generate customer-friendly release notes from GitHub PRs
- •Publishes automatically across public changelog, in-app widget, and email with zero manual work
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
Is this a good recommendation for you?
