WhatsNew.co

A super simple changelog tool.

Website

A super simple changelog tool

We are simplifying everything and make whatsnew.co a super simple changelog tool. 

- Removed categories and feeds page
- Homepage does not show updates from the changelogs anymore. We might add a "Showcase" or "Community" page in the future but focusing on the changelog feature now.

New "My pages" section

Now we have a new section called "My pages". 

Added it to fix this problem: "It was super difficult as I couldn't find my product page."

Now it's super easy to find your pages and post updates.

Simplified settings page

We have removed Custom domain and Hey.Cafe URL options from Page Settings since these aren't used much.

You'll still see them if you already have them configured

Simplified homepage to show just the product updates

We had "Product updates", "Explore new products", and "Categories". 

Now this is simplified to just show Product updates. We can still see new products and categories from the footer. 

I might remove those two options in the future but keeping it in the footer for now without removing it entirely. 

Removed "Sneak Peeks"

Why? 

Out of 249 posts, only 16 (~6.5%) are sneak peeks and others are usual "What's New" posts .

So removing it to keep it simple.

Existing sneak peeks will get a [Sneak Peek] added to the post title like this:

Weekly Product Showcase and Improved Categories section

Introducing Weekly Product Showcase where we handpick 3-4 apps/tools/websites that are new in WhatsNew.co and showcase in our Weekly Product Showcase email. https://buttondown.email/whatsnew.co

We have also improved the Categories section. It used to be like this with commas:

Now we have fixed it and now everything is shown nicely, one category at a time.

[Sneak Peak] 📸 You can now add a logo for your page

You can now add the logo in the page settings. 

not 100% happy with the layout. lot of things to consider.

  • show title when the logo is present?
  • how do we know if someone uploads an icon without a product name as a logo?
  • show logo inline along with product name?

I've added this as a beta feature to see how it goes

Explore products by Category

Thanks to Yaroslava Antipina for the suggestion in Product Hunt, we now have a page for Categories page and you can explore products by Category.

Don't see a suitable category for your product? Just mention them while creating the page. It will get added automatically ✨

🚀 Page "Follow" is now live

Found a product you like? you can now Follow product pages

1️⃣ Click on the "Follow" button
2️⃣ Now it would appear on your home page as "Products I'm following"

Submit your product or follow the ones you like: https://whatsnew.co/pages/

🚀 Custom domain support and username for your pages are live

Claim a username for your page


You can now claim a username for your product and the page would be live here: whatsnew.co/name. 
Claim a username for your page before someone else does. 


We also launched custom domain support


This means, you can now point your domain to app.whatsnew.co and you got yourself a product announcement page or it can even act as a changelog for your product.

Both can be done in the settings. Do try and let us know how it goes. Run into any issues or got any feedback? Do reach out to me via Twitter or email me directly.

☕️ Hey.Café Integration is now live

Already got a Café or Profile in Hey.Café where you already post product updates? Now you can link them here and updates would show here automatically 🪄

You can add the Café or Profile link from the ⚙️ Settings page as shown below:

PS: This would hide 🎉 What's New and 👀 Sneak Peaks from your page and a brand new ☕️ Updates would be shown. You can also change the title of this page on the settings page.


Got any suggestions on more integrations or any feedback in general? Please do reach out to us via email ([email protected]) or DM me on Twitter

Post content is now formatted properly

Even though we supported formatting text, it doesn't show up properly after you post the content.
That's because we use tailwind and it resets all styles by default.

We have added some styles to make it look nice :) Here is an example:

Bold, Italic, Bold Italic, Bold Italic,

You can click on "Post an update" button then on the form using the "Sneak peek" checkbox to show posts that are still in development
