Stop writing manual release notes. They suck!
I just open-sourced OpenLog
It connects to your GitHub, reads your messy commits, and uses AI to instantly write a beautifully formatted changelog.
Fully open-source. Try it out and drop a star if it saves you time! 👇
2026 taught me something early:
building is easy, listening is harder.
Launched OpenLog, onboarded my first users, and the feedback changed everything.
OpenLog is officially becoming a user-centred product and that feels like a win.
Finally shipped subscription logic in OpenLog.
Users can now subscribe to a product, send feedback, and opt into updates.
Founders can reply, contact users, and send automated emails all in one place.
Took longer than expected, but 100% worth it.

Shipped a roadmap feedback loop into OpenLog.
Users can comment on roadmap items, founders can reply, ask follow-ups and collect emails from people who actually care.
Feedback isn’t data.
It’s a conversation you can continue.
For OpenLog, I’ve decided to build my own email system on top of existing SMTP infra.
The CLI triggers events, my backend owns the logic/templates, providers handle delivery.
Owning the layer that matters.
Shipped CLI-based automated emails for OpenLog today.
Started with Resend.
For those who’ve scaled this what’s a solid migration path after first beta users?
One of the hardest lessons building OpenLog so far:
Founders don’t need another dashboard.
They need something that fits their existing flow with zero friction.

kept shipping features and bug fixes, but users had no idea unless they checked the app or changelog manually. OpenLog started as a way to close that gap without extra work.
I’m building OpenLog.
It helps teams turn scattered feedback and product signals
into clear decisions on what to build next.
Opening beta to 20 users.
Free during beta.
