WhatsNew.co - Not a social media. Just product updates and sneak peeks.

by
As we already know, Twitter and other social media are a chaotic place to follow and read updates from products we love. So I built this site where all you can do is follow products and reach updates from them. No Follower counts nor any comments.

Very interesting idea! How long has it works already? It seems to me that you should consider categories for the published products & definitely more explanation which products can or cannot be published. A lot of work ahead. Anyway, my sincere congratulations on the launch today and good luck!

@yaroslava Thank you Yaroslava 😇 yes, need to figure out how to categorize products. Right now I'm not planning to restricting any products other than NSFW. What I'm still struggling is with the terminology used in the website "Product". It could mean anything but I'm looking to onboard products which usually has Changelog page or announcements page. Thought about "SaaS" but it might be too limiting. One of goal with this launch is to figure out the messaging/positioning of WhatsNew.co and see how I can improve so yes, lot of work ahead :D

@onerinas as for the goal here. Yeah, you can have some ideas after considering what products are actually published. But let's help people a little. - You may start a discussion in this thread, on PH, on social media, etc. - "SaaS" is too limited, I agree, but it's a good category you should consider. At the moment you may add in description every category you'd like to have (SaaS, products which usually have changelog or announcement page...). The more people understand what your product is for, the easier for them it will be to engage. Anyway, it worth remembering that people may start using your product in more unexpected ways:-)

@yaroslava “ The more people understand what your product is for, the easier for them it will be to engage.” Very true!

👋 Hey fellow makers and product enthusiasts, how is it going? I'm someone who is not on too many social media (especially not on anything Facebook 😁). So the way I catch up with product updates and announcements is either by following their Twitter pages or signup for Newsletters. 🤯 It works for me to some great extent but always felt like little bit chaotic. 🧑‍💻 So I took the chance (or should I say my developer instinct kicked in 😄) and built a platform where we can follow products we love and stay up to date with product updates and sneak peeks from them. 💌 If you are a product owner, maker, entrepreneur, or a company, I would like to invite you to create a page for your product in WhatsNew.co.

@bochkovaleks Thank you very much Aleks, it means a lot. Hoping to see more changelogs/product announcements posted by in the website 🤞

Hi! Congrats on your launch. I have tried it out and it looks simple and handy. Great work! Are you going to have integrations with Google/Facebook/etc, so the users could sign in quickly? That would help you to get more users.

Glad you liked it Anastasiia 🤩❤️ @anastasiia_holiachenko How about a magic link sign-in? Trying not to add not too many 3rd party integrations where we have to share data. I might consider Twitter and/or Google but definitely not Facebook 😅
Anastasiia Holiachenko 🇺🇦
@onerinas Yep, I think that's a good idea!

@anastasiia_holiachenko thanks a ton for the feedback. I always preferred login with email in other services but didn't go with that since it needed custom work and doesn't come out of the box with the library I'm using. Your comment pushed to work on it, so thanks to you :)

Very clean minimalist UI. Posting process was very easy. A little issue with the signup, but I think it was my browser auto completing. 👍Great job!

Maker
@solomon_bush Glad to have you on board 🤩 Let me try a new singup, thanks for the heads up 😊 Btw, you can host the page in your own domain/subdomain and it would work as a changelog page for your product. Can be done in the pahe settings
Solomon Bush
@onerinas Oh that's a really cool feature. Is there an API for it so that I can integrate it into CI pipelines?
Solomon Bush
@onerinas Oh! One more thing, the confirmation email after I signed up went to my spam folder. I am using gmail.

@solomon_bush one more person mentioned about this! thanks for the heads up Solomon, I really appreciate it :)

@solomon_bush what API are you looking for? I'm guessing an API endpoint to add a new post would be handy?

@onerinas This product would solve a huge problem for me, but the products I am intrested in are not there so I can subscribe. I would be intrested in: - Notion - Linear - GraphCMS - Retool - vscode - Flutter - Dart - Hookdeck - Codemagic - Slack - Chargebee - Figma - Jetbrains Rider - Jetbrains Datagrip - Whereby - Github If you make those available, don't know how you can do it, then this product would be amazing.

@niklas_raab1 I have been thinking about how to onboard them. If they have RSS page or Changelog page, I can sync them into our website Just the meta details like title, description, and link to post so we don't copy the whole content. Then later official person can come in and take over after domain verification. Thanks a lot for the suggest. This is a super valuable thing to add. I've already started looking how to integrate them 😎
Niklas Raab
@onerinas Cool :) I would also add a feature, where users can suggest products they want to see integrated and let them vote, so you know in which priority to add them to your site.

Maker
@niklas_raab1 On it 😎

@niklas_raab1 Based on the upvotes, we could actually Tweet the official persons of these platforms to join 😁

Great. Do you have RSS feed?

@congnc Feed to see updates from all products or feed for individual products?
rinas 🧑‍💻
Maker
@congnc don’t have both now. Wanted to know what you are looking for to understand it better :) I’m working on some RSS integration now.
Chi Cong
@onerinas For individual products so that I can get list of RSS links for those products that I follow. Thanks

Maker
@congnc No it doesn't have one. I've made a note of it :)

How easy/difficult was it to figure out what WhatsNew.co is about?
