Why Beacon

A changelog is a channel, not a diary

Most tools treat release notes as a place to dump commits. Beacon treats them as a way to tell the right customer the right thing.

Write once, publish everywhere

One changelog entry becomes an in-app widget, an email, an RSS feed and a public page. Write it in the editor you already like, in Markdown, and stop copying the same words into four places.

In-app widget

A quiet bell in your product that lights up when there is something new. It reads the same feed as the public page, so it can never fall behind it.

Segment who sees what

Ship a beta note to beta users and a billing change to admins. The same entry, shown to the people it applies to, so nobody reads news that is not theirs.

Ask for reactions

A thumbs up or a one-line reply on each entry tells you which shipped work actually landed, without sending anyone to a survey.

Own the page

Your domain, your fonts, your colours. The public changelog reads as part of your product, not as a widget bolted on from somewhere else.

Measure what shipped

Views, reactions and click-through per entry, so the changelog stops being a diary nobody reads and starts being a channel you can judge.

In-app widget

News where they already are

A quiet bell inside your product lights up when there is something new. It reads the same feed as the public page, so the two can never disagree.

  • Matches your theme
  • Segments by plan or role
  • Reactions without leaving the app

Teams that ship a lot, use it a lot

“Our changelog went from a page nobody opened to the second most-visited page on our site.”
Head of Product, a Series B developer tool
“The in-app widget alone cut our 'is this new?' support tickets by a third.”
Support Lead, a fintech with 40k users
“We switched because ours had quietly stopped matching what we actually shipped. Beacon can't drift, it reads one feed.”
Staff Engineer, an infrastructure company
