Paperstick product tour

The short version lives on the homepage—here we walk through the same flow with more detail, where each piece lives, and what your customers actually see.

Back to homepage

Two URLs, one product

Teams often ask which link is which. You work in the app; customers read the public page.

paperstick.app — write and manage

Sign up, create changelogs, draft entries, publish, and invite teammates. Nothing here is required for people who only read your updates.

whatsnew.app — read and subscribe

Each changelog has its own short URL on this host. Readers get a clean layout, optional filters by update type, an RSS link, and a permalink on every entry—no login.

See a real public page

We ship our own changelog the same way you will—open it in a new tab to compare with the mockups below.

Open whatsnew.app/paperstick

What you see after you sign in

The changelog list is where you jump between products, copy public links, and open entries to edit. It matches the layout you will see on paperstick.app once your account has one or more changelogs.

Log in — After you sign up, this list fills in with the changelogs you create—each row links to entries and shows the public URL.

The flow in three steps

Step 1

Create your changelog

Create one or more changelogs for different products or audiences. Each gets its own hosted page on whatsnew.app.

  • Separate slugs when you have more than one product or audience—you are not limited to a single page.
  • No DNS or hosting setup; the public URL is ready as soon as the changelog exists.

Step 2

Write your release update

Write in a rich editor with optional version, date, and type. When you want help with the headline, get a suggested short title from your details and edit it before you publish.

  • Save as draft until you are ready; publishing pushes the entry to the public page immediately.
  • Rich text, images, and YouTube or Vimeo embeds—same editor patterns your team already expects from modern tools.

Step 3

Publish and share

Publish instantly, then point customers from your app, docs, email, and onboarding to the changelog. They get an RSS feed, filters by update type when you use more than one type, and a permalink for every entry.

  • Share the page URL everywhere you already talk to users; the RSS control is for readers who live in feed readers.
  • Filters only appear when you have more than one kind of update in the list—otherwise the page stays a simple timeline.
