Hey Product Hunt 👋

ShipRelay came from a simple observation: generating changelogs is basically solved, but getting them in front of users isn’t.

There are great tools (git-cliff, semantic-release, AI workflows) that turn commits into release notes. But in most small teams, those changelogs either sit in GitHub or don’t get written at all.

On the flip side, tools that handle delivery (email, widgets, etc.) usually assume you’ll write everything manually and are priced for larger teams.

So I built ShipRelay to connect those two pieces.

You connect a GitHub repo, it generates a changelog on each release, and then pushes it out through:

a hosted changelog page
an email digest
an embeddable in-app widget

It also has audience modes in the changelogs. It generates four structurally different versions from the same set of commits :

developer (breaking changes, migrations)
user-facing (plain language)
exec summary (impact)
shareable/announcement style

You can edit before publishing, but the goal is to remove as much manual work as possible.

If you’re curious, you can try it instantly on any public repo (no signup):

What I’m most interested in:
When you ship something, do you actually communicate it to users—or does it mostly stay in GitHub?

Also very open to hearing why you wouldn’t use something like this.
