Welcome to Releasebot! This article contains a few things that will help you get the most from our service.
What is Releasebot?
Releasebot is an aggregator of software release notes, changelogs, and product announcements. The problem Releasebot solves is the difficulty of keeping up with software changelogs, given they tend to be posted and communicated in a wide variety of formats.
Releasebot brings all of those scattered release notes into one place, and brings them to you in the format that you prefer; whether it's email, RSS, or something more technical.
I just signed up. What should I do now?
1. Follow some products or vendors
There's really only one thing you need to do with Releasebot: follow a few vendors and products. Once you've done this, your feed will be populated with the release notes from those vendors and products.
You can browse alphabetically, by category, or search our catalog.
2. Bookmark your Releasebot feed
Your Releasebot feed can now be accessed from releasebot.io/dashboard. Add this to your bookmarks bar, and come back whenever you want to see what's new with the software you care about.
3. Check out your first email digest
In addition to your feed, we send a daily recap of all the release notes in your feed. You should receive it around 9 or 10 AM ET.
4. Consider an upgrade to Releasebot Pro
Releasebot is a bootstrapped project, and every subscription goes a long way towards keeping it going. As a thank you for your support, you'll get:
- An ad-free email digest
- 100 releases per email digest (the free plan is limited to ten; about 15% of the emails we send cross the ten-release threshold)
- An RSS feed that contains every release from your feed
- A JSON endpoint that also contains every release from your feed
- Access to our MCP server
Releasebot Pro costs $50/year, which is less than $1/week! You can also subscribe monthly for $5/month.
5. Submit a few sources
Finally, you can submit sources to Releasebot. We'll add the source catalog (if it hasn't been already) and you'll follow the associated product automatically.
Enjoy!
