Hey Product Hunt πŸ‘‹

We’re excited to finally launch Updated.dev today.

I'm Hyun, co-founder of Updated.dev. Over the years, I have worked closely with multiple product teams and also built several products myself.

What I kept noticing was this: product teams are moving faster than ever, but a huge part of that work never reaches users. Not because it is unimportant, but because sharing updates is tedious and hard to maintain alongside constant shipping.

Still, sharing updates really matters. Teams that shared updates consistently saw higher engagement, stronger trust, and more returning users. So we set out to remove the friction from writing and publishing release notes entirely.


How it works is simple:

  1. Select – Choose the logs you want to turn into a release note

  2. Review – Check and edit the auto-generated draft

  3. Publish – Release notes go live instantly in the in-app widget and public page

No extra steps. No lag between shipping and sharing.


What makes Updated.dev different:

  • Commit based release notes
    Connect your GitHub repo and your commits are automatically grouped into clean, readable logs. You can simply select the logs you want to include, and generate a publish-ready release note draft in seconds.

  • Seamless in app widget
    Once published, release notes appear seamlessly inside your app through a widget, so users discover changes without context switching. Public pages and email notifications are included as well.

  • Clean, modern design
    A clean in-app widget and a modern release note page help your updates feel more trustworthy and professional.


If you are shipping every week and still posting release notes manually, Updated.dev will save you hours.

Give it a try and share your thoughts.Β I would truly appreciate any honest feedback or suggestions. πŸ™Œ

Hey Hyun, congrats on the launch! That observation about work never reaching users not because it’s unimportant but because sharing it is tedious really resonates. Was there a specific moment where that hit you hard?

@vouchyΒ  Thanks for the question.

For me, the pain showed up as my development pace increased.
More changes meant more things to share, but the updates themselves started to feel messy and scattered.

Every time I sat down to write a release note, I found myself digging through past work and trying to turn raw commits into something readable. It took way more energy than it should have.

Updated came directly out of that realization. Hope it brings some relief to your process too.

Huge congrats on the launch, Hyun! πŸŽ‰

As someone who ships fast and often, I feel the pain you’re trying to solve. Most teams want to communicate consistently, but the overhead of turning commits into something user-friendly kills the habit.

I don't have a personal use case for it myself at the moment, but I just wanted to come along and show my support πŸ’ͺ

Congrats on the launch! Turning commits directly into clean release notes is such a smart way to close the gap between shipping and communicating.

That Signal feature for personalized recruiter videos is genius. How does the AI handle different video styles for different company cultures?
