Launchly is a hosted changelog for software teams. You write a release note once and it becomes a public changelog page, an embeddable "what's new" widget, RSS and JSON feeds, and an email to subscribers.

Publishing works from the dashboard or programmatically, and an AI assist helps draft and tidy up entries. Pricing is a flat rate per project rather than per active user.

It runs on Next.js with a Drizzle and PostgreSQL backend, Redis with BullMQ for background jobs like sending emails, Better Auth (with SSO) for accounts, Stripe for billing, Resend with React Email for delivery, and next-intl for multiple languages.

Highlights

  • One release note becomes a page, widget, feeds, and emails
  • AI-assisted entry drafting
  • Background email delivery via BullMQ
  • Flat price per project, not per seat

Challenges

  • Teams ship updates but users rarely see them, and most changelog tools bill per monthly active user, which punishes growth.

Outcomes

  • Page, widget, feeds, and emails from one note
  • AI-assisted drafting
  • Flat price per project
