Our changelog looked too technical. Our users told us, so we rebuilt it.
Hi, I'm Hani, one of the two founders behind Bellotify.
We kept noticing that even though our users were shipping updates regularly, almost nobody was reading their changelogs. So we started asking why.
The same answer kept coming up: it looked too technical. Even when the update itself was simple, a list of bullet points and version tags read like a commit log, not something a regular user would want to open.
So we rebuilt the changelog template from scratch based on that feedback — clean, modern, and written for a non-technical reader instead of a developer. Along the way we also added reactions and comments, so users can respond directly to updates instead of staying silent, and analytics that show who's actually opening your changelog.
Has anyone else run into this — building something useful that nobody engages with simply because of how it looks?
