How do you announce new features?
Hey all, my app has two sides with one side being full of "power users". Think the drivers on Uber or hosts on Airbnb – people who need to know the rules and features in-and-out.
Whenever I have a new feature that every power users needs to be notified about I send a mail to the mailing list and push an @channel to our shared Slack. That seems to take care of things, but not always.
Do you use anything to publicly announce new features? Thinking of some way to publish & edit popups or have some sort of roadmap notifier.
I send a newsletter.
Post in:
Then you feel the traffic coming in...
How did you find the relevant FB groups? Were there open to join or you had to apply to get in?
Well , this goes back to 2017 when I was learning how to code and ui design.
I used to be in Freecodecamp learning chanels from different cities, then UI/UX designers, Figma Designers...Designers Guild.
Some I had to be approved, some not.
I post maybe once a month because I started to "market" the project since the first day ...
For Pod Hunt, I have a change log where I write about new features or bug fixes.
I then include a link to the post in the weekly newsletter and share on social media too.
Hello @dqmonn you can use in-app hotspots, and maybe also launch a product tour to explain how the new feature work
