What to Put in Your Next 10 Changelog Posts (Even If You Think You Have Nothing to Say)
A plug-and-play content plan for your changelog, especially if you're just getting started with ChangeTiny.
You finally set up an in-app changelog. You installed the ChangeTiny snippet.
You open the dashboard to write your first post and…
Blank. Screen.
If you feel like you “don’t have enough news” for a changelog, this article is your cheat sheet: 10 concrete post types you can use right away, plus prompts for each.
Pick a few, drop them into ChangeTiny, and your feed will look alive in an afternoon.
1. “What we shipped this week” roundup
Perfect for:
- Teams that ship lots of tiny improvements
- Indie founders who want to show momentum
Template:
This week in [Your Product]: [Theme]
- ✅ [Small win #1]
- ✅ [Small win #2]
- ✅ [Small win #3]
Next: we’re working on [hint at upcoming feature].
2. One big feature, three tiny examples
Don’t just say “we added X”—show how it helps.
Template:
New: [Feature name]
You can now [core benefit]. Here are 3 ways to use it:
- [Use case #1]
- [Use case #2]
- [Use case #3]
Try it from [where it lives in the UI].
Pair this with a corner card or top bar inside the product for extra visibility.
3. “We listened to your feedback” post
Users love seeing themselves reflected in your roadmap.
Template:
We improved [area] based on your feedback
You told us:
- “[Paraphrased pain point]”
So we:
- [Change you made]
This should make it easier to [desired outcome]. Let us know how it feels.
4. Bug fix highlight (for painful issues)
Bug fixes are content, especially when they remove friction.
Template:
Fix: [Annoying thing] should no longer happen
We tracked down an issue where [describe bug].
It’s now fixed, so you can [positive outcome].
If you still see anything weird, hit reply on this update or contact support.
Documenting these publicly builds trust and shows you’re paying attention.
5. Performance & reliability wins
Not everything has a shiny UI. That’s okay.
Template:
Faster, smoother, more reliable
Behind the scenes, we:
- Improved [X] load time by [rough % or “noticeably”].
- Reduced [Y errors / timeouts / retries].
You should feel a smoother experience on [screens or flows affected].
6. “New to [Your Product]? Start here.”
Use your changelog as a friendly orientation.
Template:
New here? A quick tour of what’s possible
If you’re just getting started, here are 3 things to try today:
- [Action #1] — to [outcome]
- [Action #2] — to [outcome]
- [Action #3] — to [outcome]
We’ll keep this feed updated with everything that changes.
Pair this with a badge so new users always see an entry point.
7. Integration / ecosystem updates
Any new integration deserves its own post.
Template:
New integration: [Tool]
You can now connect [Your Product] to [Tool] to:
- [Benefit #1]
- [Benefit #2]
Turn it on from Settings → Integrations → [Tool].
8. “Coming soon” teaser (used sparingly)
Use this to build anticipation—just don’t overdo it.
Template:
Coming soon: [Working title / theme]
We’re working on [1–2 sentences].
Why this matters:
- [Benefit #1]
- [Benefit #2]
We’ll announce it here first when it goes live.
9. Policy / pricing clarity update
If you change anything scary-sounding (billing, limits, terms), be human about it.
Template:
We updated [pricing / limits / policy]
TL;DR:
- [Simple summary of what changed]
- [Who is affected]
- [From when]
Why: [plain-language reason]
Full details: [link to docs / FAQ].
Use a top bar for this kind of thing so nobody misses it.
10. “Behind the scenes” milestone
Occasionally, it’s nice to show the human side.
Template:
A quick milestone update from the team
In the last [X] months, you’ve:
- Created [impressive number] [objects].
- Logged [impressive number] sessions.
In that time, we’ve:
- Shipped [X] releases.
- Fixed [Y] bugs.
- Launched [Z] features.
Thanks for building with us. We’ve got more coming.
Plug it into ChangeTiny and hit publish
Once you have these 10 patterns, you never really run out of changelog content:
- Every sprint → a weekly roundup.
- Every feature → a “New + 3 use cases” post.
- Every bug fix → a short “Fix:” line.
- Every month → a milestone or “state of the product” update.
ChangeTiny handles where these posts appear inside your app and how loud they should be (badge, bar, card, popup). You just fill in the blanks.
The hardest part of a changelog is getting started. Now you have your first 10 posts ready to go.
