Hi everyone! Jonas here, founder of Openchangelog 👋
Openchangelog was born out of my own struggles while building a changelog for a different project (now abandoned... happens to the best of us 🤣).
While changelogs often end up buried in repositories, they could save a ton of confusion and questions from users if easily accessible.
That's why I built Openchangelog, it transforms your CHANGELOG.md or Markdown release notes into a beautiful, dedicated website in minutes.
Key Features:
- GitHub integration
- Dark, Light and System themes
- Automatic RSS feed
- Password protection for internal changelogs
- Next.js embed
Roadmap:
- Different changelog layouts
- Analytics
- Search through release notes
- Gitlab integration
- Astro embed
The best part? It's open source and easy to self-host. But if you prefer an easy setup, our cloud version has a free plan to get you started.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll use Openchangelog to create changelogs your users will actually read and love!
so good! Just a few days ago I was searching through ProductHunt and Google for something similar to this!
Congrats on the launch and thank you for making it open source! can't wait to give it a shot :)
Congratulations on the launch! I'm curious, how does your changelog handle version control and release notes for multiple teams working on different features?
Cool idea! Looks like a simple way to keep users updated. Can see this being super helpful. Nice work! Any plans to add more features down the line?
That‘s a really cool idea and perfect developer experience. Looking forward to try this out
Love how this solves the "where the heck are our release notes?" problem! 🎯 Been using GitHub releases forever but they're not the most user-friendly for non-tech folks. The automatic RSS feed is a neat touch, and the fact that it's open source is chef's kiss. Definitely giving this a spin for our next release cycle - might actually get people to read our updates for once! 😄
