Changelog Fast - I was tired of PMs asking "is it in prod yet?"

by
It started with two moments every dev knows: a PM asking "is X live yet?" for the third time this week — and a PM discovering a feature from a customer's bug ticket. changelogfa.st reads your merged PRs and Linear/Jira tickets, then tells every stakeholder what shipped — in their words, on their channel: technical notes for engineers in Slack, plain-English emails for customers, a 3-line recap for your boss. No hype, noise filtered. You just build & ship.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Stéphane, solo maker of changelogfa.st. This product exists because of two moments I lived too many times as a dev: A PM pinging me "is X in prod yet?" — for the third time in a week. A PM discovering a feature we'd shipped… from a customer's bug ticket about it. The code was shipping fast. The information wasn't. Release notes existed, but they were written for one audience — so effectively for nobody. changelogfa.st connects to your repo (GitHub, GitLab, Gitea) and your tickets (Linear, Jira). When you release — or every morning, you pick — it writes what shipped for each audience and delivers it where they live: • Engineers → technical note in Slack • Customers → plain-English email • Your boss → 3-line recap in a DM • Everyone else → a public changelog page You set the whole thing up as one readable sentence: "Send your customers a plain-English update — by email, on every release.

finally something that stops the constant "is it shipped yet" pings. the auto email recaps for customers are honestly the part i didn't know i needed

 Great! Thanks a lot.

Love the multi-audience split for Slack vs email. One thing that would make this stickier for us: let me mark certain PRs as "skip changelog" (dependency bumps, internal refactors) so the customer-facing email isn't polluted with stuff nobody cares about. Even better if I can set rules like "ignore PRs labeled infra-only" once instead of tagging every single one.

 Ho good idea! I ll design it!

As I use it is "on new release", so I didn't need it.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! It gives energy!
