All updates

Shipstar now greets new users by name, lets Free plan users into the dashboard without a credit card, and automatically skips publishing when there's nothing meaningful to announce.

  • NewShipstar skips publishing when there's nothing to announce

    When a period has no user-facing product changes, Shipstar now declines to generate a changelog — refunding credits and skipping the scheduled entry — so your changelog page only ever contains meaningful updates worth sharing.

  • NewName collected at signup for a more personal experience

    The registration form now asks for your name, so verification emails, welcome messages, and onboarding communications greet you by first name from the moment you sign up.

  • NewFree plan users can enter the dashboard without upgrading

    The plan selection dialog shown after signup now includes a "Continue on Free" option and respects Escape, so you can explore Shipstar immediately without being required to enter payment details.

  • NewBilling and security events now trigger confirmation emails

    Shipstar sends email notifications for payment failures (with a link to retry), trial expiry reminders (with your team's activity since trial start), subscription cancellations, password resets, email address changes, and new OAuth sign-ins on existing accounts.

  • NewOnboarding nudge for teams that haven't connected a repository

    If your account is active but no repository has been connected yet, Shipstar will send a helpful prompt within the first two weeks so you can get to your first automated changelog faster.

  • ImprovedX (Twitter) thread publishing is more reliable and resumes after interruptions

    Shipstar now correctly resumes a partially posted thread from where it left off, respects X's character-weighting rules so threads are split accurately, and stops retrying posts that X has permanently rejected — keeping your published threads clean and your notification feed quiet.

  • ImprovedChangelog subscriber notifications sent on every publish path

    Subscribers are now notified whenever a changelog is published — whether through the dashboard Publish button, MCP, Slack approval, or a scheduled workflow — and each subscriber receives exactly one notification per release.

  • FixedCredits-exhausted error now shows a clear upgrade path

    When your team runs out of generation credits, Shipstar now surfaces an upgrade or add-seats prompt directly in the dashboard rather than a generic failure message.
