Changelog
Why bother with a changelog? I found several good reasons that align with my values, and here are a few of them:
- It gives my audience an insider’s look into how the platform or brand is evolving.
- A public changelog aligns with values of transparency and sharing. Inviting people to see behind the curtain builds trust.
- By keeping my changelog on my own domain, I ensure that I own my data.
I thought about using Semantic Versioning but since I'm the sole maintainer I'd like to keep it as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Inspired by Robb Knight.
