Show HN: Automatically Create Beautiful Product Updates

I am not sure about this to be honest, personally the Product Update/Changelog is the most personal/human thing I have to write while developing.

This is because I have to clearly explain what changed, why, what are the impacts of those changes, what business decisions made drove me to make this change, etc.

I read the landing page but I have no idea what this actually does. What's a "product update" in this context?

Ah basically all SAAS products send weekly/monthly product updates like this: https://www.notion.so/releases/2024-02-26

Does this help? If so would love to understand how I could have described it a little better :)

I'd call these 'release notes'

this helps :)

Gotcha. So the integration with Jira is to figure out what has changed and what needs to be communicated? And Sendgrid can be used to actually send the emails? I would be more explicit with the flow of things.

The example doesn't do it for me somehow, not sure why. I don't quite get how the dinner planning Notion page would get translated to sending an update of some sorts. You might just want to expand on that or use a different example. Maybe as simple as Jira tickets to Email with more resources of other integrations (input vs output). It was also a bit confusing to have the "Learn more ->" link (at least it looks like a link here) not do anything. Oh wait, is that whole red bordered box an example of a product update? That wasn't clear at all. Maybe combine that with the Jira tickets that were used as a source for that update.

This looks neat, I wish you good luck and hope it takes off. Let me know if I can help more.

this is great feedback.

I updated the title to "automatically generate beautiful product updates" and the made the demo image a little more obvious with a heading etc

think this would have helped you understand the product a little better faster? :)

I think so, good job
