Suggestion: Newsletter and Changelog page

[shlomoi10]

Hi,

I really love using your components, they are amazing!

However, it’s currently pretty hard for me to keep track of new components when they are added, or see what changed in existing ones.

It would be super helpful if there was a simple changelog page or a newsletter to follow updates easily.

Thanks for the great work!

Hey, I've thought about this quite a bit actually.

Are you aware that the index page (https://reactbits.dev/get-started/index) displays the newest components since your last visit? This should help.

I wouldn't really want to spam people with newsletters, since there's updates almost daily.

Regarding the changelog, I might consider building a page for that, but it will take some time.

First off, thank you so much! Your components are truly amazing. I often look elsewhere, but I always end up coming back to you...

I'm aware of the index page, but a changelog page would still be much more convenient.

Regarding the newsletter: could you maybe send a weekly digest summarizing the latest updates? That way it won't feel like spam. I really enjoy these kinds of updates, and it would save me from obsessively checking the site just to see what's new...

Thanks!

Hey @shlomoi10

I'm not going to do a newsletter, but I've added a changelog page plus a few more filtering options on the index page to help you sort by newest by date added.

Did you make the new page for me?

[DavidHDev]

@shlomoi10 yeah pretty much! You're the one who opened a topic for it, I'm happy to help make the library easier to use 🙏

[shlomoi10]

You're amazing...

I don't have enough money for a Pro subscription, but if I did, I would subscribe...

Wishing you lots of success

No problem at all, thank you for the kind words!

Let me know if you think of any other improvements

I think a dedicated newsletter and changelog page would be a great addition to the project.

A changelog could help developers quickly understand what's new, including newly added components, bug fixes, performance improvements, and breaking changes. A newsletter could provide occasional summaries of important updates and upcoming features.

Some useful features to consider:

• A chronological changelog with version numbers and release dates.
• Categories for new features, improvements, fixes, and breaking changes.
• Links to relevant documentation, pull requests, and releases.
• An optional newsletter subscription for users who want updates without checking GitHub regularly.

Keeping the changelog publicly accessible and easy to browse would improve transparency and make it easier for developers to stay up to date.

Thanks for considering this idea!
