Posting something we published this week for anyone here running a SaaS company or a company newsletter.

The premise: most SaaS teams ship 15 to 40 meaningful items a quarter and send their full customer list somewhere between zero and two emails explaining any of them. The changelog is complete, accurate, and visited by nobody.

The diagnostic in the post is the part worth stealing. Count the items you shipped last quarter that a customer would care about. Count the sends that told your whole list about any of them. Divide. That's your Ship-to-Tell ratio, and it's almost always a single digit. Everything under 100% is value you paid to build and then didn't distribute.

Hey everyone, posting today's release notes.

Most of what shipped is in three places: what generated drafts are allowed to do, the Compose screen, and navigation.

I spent most of my career doing non-technical work, and I now build our product, @HeyNews. I got there by talking to AI coding agents night after night. The catch: the agents are good company right up until 4am, when you're still hitting approve every thirty seconds and what you actually want is sleep.

So I built a loop I can walk away from and wrote up exactly how it works: https://blog.heynews.co/afk-codi...
