What’s new

Recent updates.

We use Drumroll to ship Drumroll’s own release notes. This page is published from a workspace just like yours would be.

v0.10.0 - Reactions, auto-draft, comparison pages

A big round of authoring polish, marketing surface expansion, and security hardening.

What shipped:

  • 👍 ❤️ 🎉 🚀 reactions on every published changelog entry. Anonymous, per-browser dedupe, optimistic UI.
  • "Draft from commits" button on the new-entry page - pre-fills your changelog from your connected GitHub repo's commits since the last published entry. Groups by Conventional Commits prefix.
  • Three new comparison pages: /vs/featurebase, /vs/headway, /vs/beamer, plus a /vs hub.
  • API reference now lives at /docs/api - one read-only endpoint, honestly described, CORS-enabled.
  • Marketing nav switches to "My account" + a quieter signed-in state when you're logged in. Auth state runs server-side.
  • Dark-mode contrast pass: text on bright accent blocks (block-amber / hl-coral / etc.) stays dark in dark mode, since the accent backgrounds don't flip.
  • /updates is now correctly reverse-chronological after a GitHub sync. The sync now uses the upstream release's published_at instead of insert time.
  • Security hardening across the app.
  • Deploy script now correctly inlines NEXT_PUBLIC_* env vars at build time.

v0.9.0 - Drumroll's own docs

Dogfooding day, part two. Drumroll's how-to documentation now lives at usedrumroll.com/docs, served from the same drumroll workspace's guides table that powers /updates.

What shipped:

  • Apex /docs route with sidebar tree, search, and tag filters
  • Six starter docs: Welcome, Quickstart, Branding, Writing rich content, Connecting integrations, Embedding
  • GuidesSidebar component now path-configurable so the same code drives both tenant /guides and apex /docs
  • Fix: workspace slug resolution now falls back to host parsing when middleware-injected headers don't propagate (resolved a routing 404 on workspace subdomains)

v0.8.0 - Updates page, guide search and tags

Dogfooding day. Drumroll now publishes its own changelog through Drumroll, and the guides surface gets the search and grouping that customers had been asking about.

What shipped:

  • usedrumroll.com/updates - Drumroll's own release notes, rendered by Drumroll
  • Guide search: shareable URL-driven search (?q=) across titles and body
  • Tags on guides: comma-separated input in the editor, tag pills on the public page, filter chips in the sidebar

v0.7.0 - Feedback, dark mode, responsive

Polish across the board, plus a way for anyone using Drumroll to tell us what's broken.

What shipped:

  • Floating feedback widget on every page (admin, public, marketing). Feature requests and bug reports land in a super-admin inbox.
  • Manual light/dark theme toggle with no-flash boot. Follows OS preference until you click; explicit choice persists.
  • Responsive polish across mobile and tablet
  • Legal pages rewritten to drop implementation detail

v0.6.0 - Custom branding and cross-nav

Make every workspace feel like its own product, and tie the public surfaces together.

What shipped:

  • Custom theme: pick three hex colors (background, text, primary) and Drumroll derives the rest
  • Extract branding from a URL - paste your homepage, we auto-fill logo and brand color
  • Cross-navigation tabs between Changelog and Guides on the public surface
  • Danger zone in Settings is visibly red

v0.5.0 - Rich docs

Heavy editor upgrade. Both changelog entries and guides now support the visual primitives people actually want.

What shipped:

  • Inline images and file attachments
  • Mermaid diagrams (rendered on the public page)
  • Callouts (note, tip, warning, info) and collapsible toggles
  • Cover images on guides and a typography pass for long-form reading

v0.4.0 - Tier-1 onboarding

A linear 4-step welcome flow inspired by the kind of onboarding you'd see from Apple or Google, plus a substantial auth refactor underneath.

What shipped:

  • Four steps: profile, workspace, brand, source. Skip-friendly at every step.
  • Decoupled identity-provider org slug from the customer-facing workspace slug - fixes lock-in when renaming
  • Auto-migrate the prod database before every Worker deploy

v0.3.0 - GitHub Releases and offboarding

Source-system parity and the boring-but-important account hygiene flows.

What shipped:

  • GitHub Releases as a sync source - connect a repo, releases become changelog entries
  • Delete workspace and delete account from Settings, with a confirmation guard

v0.2.0 - Reliability and uploads

Operational polish across the integration layer, plus first-class image uploads.

What shipped:

  • R2-backed branding asset uploads served from cdn.usedrumroll.com
  • JIRA: transparent refresh-token rotation for long-lived workspaces
  • Bitbucket: honors Retry-After on rate-limited sync calls
  • Per-page table of contents on guides

v0.1.0 - Initial launch

Drumroll's first public version. A multi-tenant changelog and guides platform for SaaS teams: workspaces on their own subdomain, an in-app rich-text editor, public pages with cover images and a dismissible announcement banner, and a full marketing site.

What shipped:

  • Per-workspace public pages with branded cover image and announcement banner
  • Eight marketing pages with a consistent icon system across the integrations surface
  • Manual changelog authoring with section headings (New features, Enhancements, Bug fixes)
  • Embed admin page with copy-pasteable links and iframe snippets
