Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Buoylog because every changelog tool I looked at either wanted broad write-access to my GitHub repos (via classic OAuth's repo scope) or charged per AI credit like it's 2010-era API pricing. Buoylog is a GitHub App scoped to read-only access on pull requests and metadata — it can't touch your code. Merge a PR, Claude drafts a plain-English release note, you review it, publish. It goes out to a hosted changelog page, an embeddable widget, and email/Slack/Discord at once. No credit-metering — unlimited entries on every plan, 7-day free trial. Would love your feedback, especially on the widget and the categorization quality. Happy to answer anything!

Building a changelog tool with minimal GitHub permissions — what do you think?

Hey! Launching Buoylog on Product Hunt Sept 3rd, but wanted to start a conversation here first.

The core idea: most changelog tools either need broad OAuth access to your GitHub repos (the repo scope, which technically grants write access even if they only read PR titles) or charge per AI credit for categorization. Buoylog is a GitHub App scoped to read-only access on PRs and metadata, and every plan includes unlimited AI categorization. No credit meter.

Merge a PR Claude drafts a plain-English release note you review it publishes to a hosted page, an embeddable widget, and email/Slack/Discord.
