The idea came from a problem I kept running into myself: I ship updates to my side projects on a daily basis, but there’s no real place to share those updates unless you already have many followers.
Posting on X didn’t do much for me (I have only ~200 followers). Posting on changelog page meant basically nobody saw it. Posting frequently on Reddit felt spammy pretty quickly.
So I made a public product changelog.
Featdrop is kind of like Product Hunt, but instead of launches, people post product updates. You can have multiple products, post multiple updates every day, and people can see, follow, vote on, and comment on what you’re building.
One feature I personally especially like is the update calendar — it shows a monthly history of everything you shipped. It feels like a nicer way to show product momentum than just a GitHub graph. (The idea was inspired by an infographic made by ProductCompass)
If you’re actively building, I’d love for you to check it out and happy to hear any feedback!
Nice! I've been building a product solo and my changelog is basically scattered across commit messages and a markdown file nobody sees. Do you see this working well for solo founders or is it more geared toward teams with a bigger audience already?
@keith_hiyamojo Hi Keith, yes in fact I think it fits better for solo founders or small teams rather than big teams. Bigger teams usually have more ways to show off their product updates, but it's usually not the case for solo founders. The goal for FeatDrop is to help solo founders or small teams get their updates seen by the public.
@keith_hiyamojo Yes, i am a happy customer and this is exactly why i use it..
What does discoverability actually look like for someone with zero followers on day one? If the feed is chronological and you have no audience yet, you're basically posting into a void. Congrats on the launch!
@jared_salois Good question Jared. At the moment, the default feed is ranked by update time, which means if you are among the recent product builders to submit a product update, your update will be shown on top and visible to other people. So right now as long as people submit product updates, it will be seen by others for sure :)
I totally get the frustration of shipping updates that nobody sees. I run a small macOS app and I've been posting updates on X, but with a small following it just disappears into the timeline. The calendar view is really appealing — it'd be satisfying to look back and actually see a month's worth of progress laid out like that. Quick question: do you have plans for any kind of notification or digest system? Like a weekly email for followers so they don't miss updates from products they care about?
@ray_artlas Hi Ray thanks for the kind words!
Yes, I do have a plan to add a news letter system. Anything interesting that you want to see from the notification?
Thanks for a useful site, I was looking for something like it tbh for my project and now it landed in my lap :D ! Just a note from usability side. When I click on an update and then navigate back to main page, it is kind of annoying that it scrolls me back to top.
@yodalr Hi Lennart, thanks for the support, and I'm looking at the issue you reported now!
@yodalr Quck update that the fix is out - clicking to open and close on an update item from home feed should not not scroll the feed to top now. Please let me know if you still see the issue.
Love how it was built because of your personal need. But, don't we have many platforms like this already?
how are you planning to grow this, make it more intuitive?
@baruns Hi Barun, thanks for the support 👋
For your question: I'm not aware that there are other product communities can allow builders to freely share like 10 product updates per day. In fact, in the past people were simply not able to ship new features in such speed, but now what I noticed is there are more product builders able to ship multiple iterations within a day. FeatDrop is designed to freely post every improvments, without worrying about being spammy to the community.
You mentioned making it more intuitive, anything specific you want to see? 😊
@allan_jiang Oooohh
So, Github for vibe-coders.
@baruns Haha yes, something like that, I call it public changelog though :D
