Our Mission
Developer-focused git commit messages like fix(db): resolve n+1 query in user_model refs #156 are essential for technical teams but meaningless to end users. When it's time to write release notes or communicate updates, developers spend valuable time manually translating these technical messages into user-friendly language.
ShipNote aims to be the go-to tool for developers who want to maintain transparency with their users without sacrificing development time. We believe that every software release deserves beautiful, understandable release notes—and that creating them should be effortless.
By combining the power of AI with seamless Git integration, ShipNote automatically transforms your raw git logs into polished, categorized "What's New" changelogs that your users will actually understand and appreciate, making it easier than ever to bridge the gap between technical development and user communication.
