how i built my first saas

how it all started

i had this idea about how we as developers ship features, improvements & bug fixes so fast especially with having leverage of AI these days. but most of us rarely care of putting out the changelogs. this ultimately results the changes u made sit in the corner with no one knowing it

why changelogs are important

users using your product deserve to know what changed in the new release. also instead having ur support teams to answer same queries again & again. how about having a link they can simply share with clients.

the solution

having all the above in mind, i thought of building a simple workflow which lets developers sync their PRs and commits, generate, review/edit & ultimately publish the changelogs in clicks.

that's how commitposts originated.

what it fixes

having a clean public page with regular changelogs helps u in many ways :

• it shows product is actively maintained
• founders & investors can track the momentum of the product
• support teams have a link to share instead of answering same queries
• developers can ship & move on to next part & let commitposts handle the boring part
• users stick around longer when they know what actually changed. this also builds trust
