The idea came from a problem I kept running into myself: I build products and ship updates on a daily basis, but there’s no good place to share those updates unless you already have many followers.
Posting on X didn’t do much for me (I have only ~200 followers). Posting on changelog page meant basically nobody saw it. Posting frequently on Reddit felt spammy pretty quickly.
So I made a public product changelog.
Featdrop is kind of like Product Hunt, but instead of launches, makers and builders post product updates. You can have multiple products, post multiple updates every day, and people can see, follow, vote on, and comment on what you’re building.
It especially works well for solo founders, side project buiders, and small teams to showcase their progress.
One feature I personally especially like is the update calendar showing on the profile page — it shows a monthly history of everything you shipped. It feels like a nicer way to show product momentum than just a GitHub graph. (The idea was inspired by an infographic made by ProductCompass)
If you’re actively building, I’d love for you to check it out and happy to hear any feedback.

This is interesting — most builders think “build in public” solves distribution, but it rarely does without an existing audience.
Curious — are you seeing people use this more to get discovered, or just to document progress?
