The premise is simple, if you update your product, you should update your customers, team, and stakeholders.
ReleaseNotes.io makes it simple to create and share product updates via a hosted site, email announcements, and embeddable modals and banners.

👋 Hi everyone, Chris here, creator of ReleaseNotes.io This has been a labor of love for the last few years as a side project that has picked up steam and now at a level I'm happy to share with the world in full The first line of code being written way back in 2015, it's crazy to think it's been in the works for so long 🤯 The service started off quite simple, and has been grown over many iterations based heavily on what 100+ customers have repeatedly requested, that gets ReleaseNotes to the point it's at today, and to a point that I'm quite proud of and hope you love it too. The idea is simple, that if you update your product, you should update your customers, teammates, and stakeholders. WHO'S IT FOR? It's built for: - Remote & private teams to stay in sync - Customer support teams to update their customers - Marketing & product teams to promote releases to encourage engagement / sales. OK... BUT WHAT'S DO? ReleaseNotes.io makes it super simple to: - Create and manage release notes for your product - Display your releases on a dedicated hosted site - Allow people to subscribe to updates, and send those people announcement emails for new releases - Embed your new releases on your site in a modal (optionally auto showing for new releases) - Display your latest release as a banner on your site (great for marketing sites) - Create private releases, manage which releases are public vs which are locked down to only people you approve HELPING OUT DURING COVID To specifically help with remote teams while COVID lingers about, private releases are available on all plans, so you can keep your team in sync with product updates. SEE IT IN ACTION You can see ReleaseNotes in action by heading to the https://releasenotes.io website, and you'll see the purple banner showing the latest feature release, and the badge on the "Updates" top menu menu, click that and you'll see the modal appear with the latest releases.

Great simple solution.

Oh man was about to type up our latest release notes, then add them into our product update page in webflow and then go over to intercom and summarize and add them into popup message to our users who would inevitably be annoyed by it and then add a task for myself to put it into our product update email in Mailchimp and then curl up into a ball and cry a little and then change the Mailchimp email because we did another release before I could send it out and... This is awesome... thanks!

@mattcrail Ha! You'd be amazed how often this sort of story has come up. Crazy thing is, I just took a look at your site, taskablehq.com, and was wishing it existed only a couple of weeks ago. Signed up for early access :)

@mattcrail same pain. That product will save me/team hours + make it super easy to reach all our operators.

I don't get the confirmation email.

@alesas Hi, SendGrid shows that the email was sent (and resent), and received by your mail server, perhaps double check spam folders?
Alexis
@duellsy still can't find it :( anything you could do?
