What to Put in Your Next 10 Changelog Posts (Even If You Think You Have Nothing to Say)

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:

  1. [Use case #1]
  2. [Use case #2]
  3. [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:

  1. [Action #1] — to [outcome]
  2. [Action #2] — to [outcome]
  3. [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.
