Hi everyone! Jonas here, founder of Openchangelog ๐Ÿ‘‹ Openchangelog was born out of my own struggles while building a changelog for a different project (now abandoned... happens to the best of us ๐Ÿคฃ). While changelogs often end up buried in repositories, they could save a ton of confusion and questions from users if easily accessible. That's why I built Openchangelog, it transforms your CHANGELOG.md or Markdown release notes into a beautiful, dedicated website in minutes. Key Features: - GitHub integration - Dark, Light and System themes - Automatic RSS feed - Password protection for internal changelogs - Next.js embed Roadmap: - Different changelog layouts - Analytics - Search through release notes - Gitlab integration - Astro embed The best part? It's open source and easy to self-host. But if you prefer an easy setup, our cloud version has a free plan to get you started. I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll use Openchangelog to create changelogs your users will actually read and love!

@jonas_devs congrats on the launch! This feels like it would fit so naturally into a release process.

Cool idea! Looks like a simple way to keep users updated. Can see this being super helpful. Nice work! Any plans to add more features down the line?

@dmtrh Thanks Dmitrii, I have a lot of features planned. I'm most excited about analytics, which will help you track how many people view your changelog. And the search integration will make it super easy for users to find specific changes or features across all your past release notes.

@dmtrh @jonas_devs IMO those features should be announced or integrated now. Because the site is nice but it's not clear why it needs to be a server instead of just a page generator.

@denys_seguret Thanks for your feedback, I totally understand your point. I wanted to release Openchangelog as soon as possible with minimal features to receive feedback just like yours. I'm working on Analytics as we speak, that should be available in 1-2 weeks.

so good! Just a few days ago I was searching through ProductHunt and Google for something similar to this! Congrats on the launch and thank you for making it open source! can't wait to give it a shot :)

Congratulations on the launch! I'm curious, how does your changelog handle version control and release notes for multiple teams working on different features?

@ihuzaifashoukat Since release notes can be managed through GitHub, you can just use your normal git workflow of merging multiple features into main and every features changes can be documented individually, either in the CHANGELOG.md file or in a separate markdown file. You can find out more in our docs on Writing Release Notes
