Product Update Releases

Stop sending bullet-point emails that nobody reads. Ship beautiful release decks instead. Skip features that aren't relevant, focus on what matters to each audience, and track who's actually paying attention.

The Problem with Email Updates

Traditional product update emails are ignored, unread, or skimmed. You spend hours writing detailed release notes that get 2% engagement.

Nobody reads long emails

Average time spent: 8 seconds before delete.

One-size-fits-all doesn't work

Enterprise customers don't care about free-tier features. Developers don't want marketing fluff.

You're flying blind

Email open rates tell you nothing about which features resonate.

Features don't get adopted

Low engagement = low feature adoption = wasted engineering effort.

Why Release Decks Work Better

Transform boring update emails into engaging visual experiences

Visual > Bullet Points

Show, don't tell. A visual deck is 10x more engaging than an email with feature bullets.

Selective Showcasing

Skip features that don't matter to specific audiences. Focus on what's relevant to them.

Track Engagement

See who's actually reading your updates and which features get the most attention.

Audience Variants

Create different versions for customers, partners, internal teams, and investors.

Save Hours Per Release

No more writing individual emails or creating custom presentations for each stakeholder group.

Increase Feature Adoption

When people actually see and understand new features, they use them.

How It Works

From feature list to shipped deck in under an hour

1

Build Your Release Deck

Create slides for each new feature with screenshots, demos, or videos. Use templates to save time.

  • Drag-and-drop builder
  • Screenshot annotations
  • Video embeds
  • Template library
2

Customize for Each Audience

Enable/disable features based on who's viewing. Show enterprise features to enterprises, basic features to freemium users.

  • Conditional slides
  • Audience segmentation
  • Personalized messaging
  • Dynamic content
3

Ship & Track

Send a link (not an attachment). Track who views, which slides they spend time on, and what features resonate.

  • View tracking
  • Engagement analytics
  • Feature interest scores
  • Email notifications
