A changelog that tells the people who asked

“You asked. We shipped.” lands with exactly the people who voted.

Publish a changelog entry, link the requests it closes, and everyone who asked or followed hears back by email and in the What’s new tab.

A title and a short body in Markdown. Schedule it or publish now.

Publishing moves them to Shipped. The editor shows how many voters and followers will hear about it before you press the button.
Publish and notify
Everyone who voted or followed gets an email and an in-app notification. Prefer silence? Publish quietly and nobody is emailed.
Show What’s new in your app
The widget’s What’s new tab carries an unread badge on the launcher until they have seen it. Any element can open it.
```
<a data-theyasked-open="changelog">What’s new</a>
```

Voters notified: For what shipped this period, the share of the people who asked who heard back.
Changelog linked: Shipped requests that were announced, versus shipped in silence.
Median days to ship: How long they waited.

Any team with a public board: The board earns trust only if people hear back.
Customer success: A reason to email an account that is not a renewal reminder.
Mobile apps: The What’s new tab in the WebView, no push setup.
