Hey hunters! 👋 Together with Brian and Nik we built Changefeed to make it simple to keep a beautiful changelog for your product. When we originally launched we got lots of awesome feedback from all of you (https://www.producthunt.com/post...), so we spent the last six months heads-down implementing the most requested ideas. Today we super excited to announce that Changefeed v2 is live with all of them included! 😍 Here is all the news: - Custom domains: Show your changelog at a domain of yours like changelog.yourapp.com 🗺 - Embeddable widget: Alert your users of new changes right on your website 🚨 - Newsletter support: Have your users subscribe to and send them a newsletter whenever you publish a new release 📧 - Zapier integration: Automate all the things with our Zapier integration: automatically tweet when you publish a new release, add merged pull requests from GitHub to your draft release, and much more. 🔀 - Public API access: Automate even more by accessing our GraphQL API and implementing any kind of functionality you want. The sky is the limit! 💻 - Improved design: Your changelog will now look even better thanks to the design clean up ✨ We are super grateful for you all believing in us three indie devs and giving such great feedback. As a token of our appreciation, we have an *exclusive ProductHunt launch discount*: 25% off any plan for an entire year! Simply enter the discount code "we-love-producthunt" during checkout anytime before tomorrow midnight. Thank you for being awesome! 🙏

@mxstbr @thomaswangio Thanks for your suggestions. There are couple directions to go from here. Public roadmap and feedback features are definitely high up on the list, but we will first settle down a bit and evaluate what makes the most sense.

Looks good and feels good and smooth. I especially like the idea of minimalistic widget. But for the website with changelog I think it would be cool to have some customisation options.

@alisa_smelkova that's a good call, we are definitely thinking of introducing the ability to customize the styling! What in particular would you look to change?
Alisa Smelkova
@mxstbr Mainly it's for branding purposes. Maybe some header-cover / background / or brand color for labels (new, improved etc) will be enough.

@mxstbr @alisa_smelkova it's a jarring experience when you get dropped into a completely different page from the widget. I think I'd prefer a modal takeover so they never leave my app. From the modal they could easily subscribe or "view all updates" (in which clicking could trigger a the existing page in a new tab).

Looks neat! I am looking for something like this. So far I liked Headway App. One suggestion - there is too much emphasis on the Version number. Normal users don't worry too much about the version number. Just when it was done and what - that is useful.

@allagappan_alagu_muthuraman 100% agree, this is on our minds for a while and we have to see how to incorporate it. Suggestions and feedback are very welcome :)

Nice will check out could be useful for me!

Hey, it's something what I was looking for, looks pretty good. But what about Spectrum.Chat? Seems like abandoned project which live only because of previous buzz made.

@stefan_smiljkovic Thanks! I can't tell much about spectrum (never have been part of that team), except a while ago they announce that Spectrum is joining Github: https://spectrum.chat/spectrum/g...

As a PM, this tool seems like a live-saver. Will try it in more detail in the upcoming few days, I'd love to give some feedback then if you're interested ?makers.

@branimir_hrzenjak yes please, let us know!
Felipe Otálora
Great product! I manage product and I think this is very useful to communicate features and updates. Can you automate those releases with an API as well?
Max Stoiber
Maker
@felipe_otalora yes, we have full API access that you can use to automate your changelog! See here for more information: https://changefeed.app/help/api-...

Looks awesome, well done Max, Brian & Nik!

I love the product but for the price I wonder if I'd get more value by using Canny Changelog or Makerkit?
Nik Graf
Maker
@amorriscode There is definitely some overlap with these products. I'm curious what parts of Canny or Makerkit you care the most about?
Anthony Morris
@nikgraf Thanks for the response. It's just the price point. Makerkit has basically the same idea but it is cheaper. The ability for users to request/vote on features is pretty cool too. I somehow missed that Changefeed is free for open source. Because of that alone it's what I am actually going to pick after evaluating all the solutions. I love that model.

Really liking the project, especially makers behind it. Looking forward to try it out on my future projects!
