Hi Product Hunt Community 👋
I'm Olli, a solo developer from Germany, and I'm super excited to share SvellBell with you today!
The Backstory: As a maker, I was frustrated. I wanted a way to announce updates in my apps, but existing changelog tools were either:
Too expensive for side projects ($49/mo+).
Bloated with heavy iframes and tracking scripts.
Overkill with roadmaps & voting boards I didn't need.
The Problem: You ship amazing features, but nobody notices. Changelogs get buried in docs. Release notes go unread. Users discover new features by accident – weeks after launch.
The Solution: SvellBell 🔔 I built the tool I wished existed. SvellBell is a lightweight changelog widget that sits in your product. The animated bell with its golden star badge ensures new updates never go unnoticed.
Why developers use it:
⚡ 1-Line Embed: Copy, paste, done in 30 seconds.
🪶 Ultra-Lightweight: Zero dependencies, no heavy framework bloat.
🎨 Native Feel: Customizable colors to match your brand perfectly.
📱 Mobile Ready: Looks great on phones and desktops. ✍️
Rich Text: Images, YouTube embeds, and smart tags supported.
The "Indie Hacker" Promise: I built this for people like us.
Free Tier: 1 project, unlimited updates (perfect to get started).
Privacy-First: GDPR compliant, no tracking cookies.
My ask today: Since I’m launching this without a marketing team, I’d truly value your honest feedback.
Does the widget feel native enough for your projects?
Is the onboarding fast enough?
