Our story

We believe users deserve to know what's changing

ReleaseDock started from a simple frustration: every product ships updates, but most users never hear about them. We're building the easiest way for product teams to close that gap.

Why we're building this

We've been on both sides. As developers, we shipped features that nobody noticed. As users, we missed updates that would have saved us hours.

The tools that existed were either too complex, too expensive, or too ugly. We wanted something that takes two minutes to set up, looks great out of the box, and actually gets read.

So we built ReleaseDock — a changelog and widget platform that makes it effortless to keep users in the loop.

What we stand for

These aren't wall posters. They're how we make decisions every day.

Ship fast, iterate faster

We'd rather ship something good today and improve it tomorrow than wait for perfect. Our users give us the best feedback.

Clarity over cleverness

In our product and our communication, we choose the simple path. If a feature needs a tutorial, it's too complicated.

Respect the user's time

Every notification, every email, every UI element earns its place. We don't spam, we don't dark-pattern, we don't waste attention.

Earn trust with transparency

We use our own product to publish our own changelog. If we break something, we say so. Trust is built in public.

Build for the team, not the admin

Product managers, developers, marketers — everyone on the team should feel at home in ReleaseDock.

Punch above our weight

We're a small team competing with well-funded incumbents. We win by being faster, more focused, and more opinionated.

The team

Small team, big ambitions. We're building ReleaseDock from the ground up.

Our journey

Early 2026

The idea

Frustrated by clunky changelog tools and $99/mo price tags for basic features, we started sketching what a modern, affordable alternative could look like.

Q1 2026

First lines of code

Built the core: rich text editor, embeddable widget, public changelog page, and email notifications. Convex for the backend, Next.js for the frontend.

Q1 2026

Support inbox launch

Added real-time support conversations with file attachments, collision detection, and email integration.

Now

Growing in public

Polishing the product, writing docs, and onboarding early users. We're building in the open and shipping every week.
