I’m the solo builder behind relnotes.app. I built this because I realized I was spending far too much time every Friday manually formatting technical changelogs into "human-readable" emails for stakeholders and clients.
As a dev, it felt like the least productive part of my week.
The Workflow:
You connect your GitHub repo.
When a Pull Request is closed, the app generates a release update.
It formats these updates into a branded, professional email template.
It sends/schedules them for your stakeholders automatically.
I launched this on Product Hunt last week and it was a total ghost town (1 upvote!), so I’m trying to figure out if I’m solving a problem people don't actually care about, or if I’m just bad at explaining the value.
I’d love your feedback on:
The "Stakeholder" Angle: Does your team actually send manual status emails, or do you just give them access to Jira/GitHub and hope for the best?
Technical friction: Would you trust an automated tool to draft these, or is manual oversight a "must-have"?
Pricing/Features: It’s currently in a very early stage. What’s the one feature that would make this a "must-buy" for your workflow?
I’ll be around to answer any technical questions about the stack or the integration. Thanks for taking a look!
