Hey Product Hunt!
Sooo a little about the project -
🤔 Why I created Getlog
I've had a need for my own changelog for multiple products and sure there are plenty of other products out there, but I felt some were lacking certain features, or not what I was looking for is some other aspect. So I figured I would build my own and let others also use it for free! Plus, I knew I would enjoy the process as always! 🚀
⏰ How long did it take
I was aiming for 4/6 weeks to launch the MVP it took me just under 8 weeks 😅 in total to finish the MVP this is outside of my 9-5 job working evenings and weekends.
👨💻 Features worth mentioning
- A beautiful looking changelog that can be up and running in minutes.
- Light and Dark mode (everyone loves a dark mode option 😜)
- Custom domains - use your own domain for your changelog eg. changelog.yourdomain.com
- Allow your users react to your posts.
- Create multiple changelogs under one account.
- It's completely free!
🚀 Plans for the future
- Adding more functionality to changelogs, like optional comments, automatic publishing on a certain date, custom favicon options, custom OG image options and more.
- Optimize changelog pages to improve lighthouse scores (already scores of around 90)
- We will also be adding stats for your changelogs.
Long term I would love to explore adding new functionality for the maker community like roadmaps, feedback tools, image presentation tools. Basically anything that a maker would find useful for product and their users.
If you have any questions please do ask, I would love to answer them! Also any and all feedback would be much appreciated!
Report
@jamiepeak quite important tool for product dev teams. Congrats on the launch!
Congrats on the launch, @jamiepeak! The custom domain feature is a nice one.
I've seen a few other change log-like products in the past. Curious to hear your POV on how Getlog compares.
@rrhoover thanks Ryan, much appreciated! 🙌
I think currently the main pro for Getlog vs other similar products right now is the design, ease of use and the fact it's free!
In the future, I want to add more functionality to changelogs like comments, auto publishing, meta data/OG images, stats and more dynamic content in changelogs like video, audio etc.
Long term I aim to make Getlog a suite of products that are useful to makers that all fall under one account. 🙌 🚀
Hey @jamiepeak ! This is really cool. Funny enough, exactly what I was looking for and I accidentally came across this during one of my casual routine scrolls through ProductHunt.
I just released v0.1.0 of my own app to a small focus group of 10 users and I was looking for a solution to keep a CHANGELOG up to date which is easily accessible by my users.
I already signed up and posted my first entry.
Quick feedback, if you don't mind:
I would love to be able to add more than one label per post because some changelog entries might have a mixture of features, improvements, etc. From what I could see, I can only choose one label per post?
I would love to chat more about it with you.
@herco thanks Herco! I'm glad you found us! Your feedback is great and exactly what we need right now.
I'll for sure put some thought into allowing multiple tags I do see the benefit in it, it would require some structural changes but nothing major. Chatting more about it would be great, if it's ok I'll reach out to you via email a little later today.
Congrats on the launch Jamie! It was fun to follow the progress of Getlog on Twitter while you were building it in public. And it's so cool to finally be able to play with it.
The final product looks really polished (I'd love to be able to ship MVP like this one)! I hope this project gets the attention it deserves. The upcoming roadmap is really exciting!
@mathieuginod thanks so much for the kind words Mathieu! I really appreciate it.
Btw your changelog for "Where can I watch this?" looks great! I hope you find it useful in the future! 🚀 🎉
@nok_moe no catch! 😂
We plan to introduce a paid tier in the future when we add additional features. Changelogs will be free and a paid upgrade/plan to access additional features like roadmaps, feedback tools etc.
