Built this to explore all the dynamics of our operations at Wedgworth's, Inc. Just for fun. No trackers. Free. All game state in localstorage.

I author internal software rather than something public, but I think this method still would apply thinking back on SaaS apps I've built.

I use Github generated release notes based on Pull Request bodies and this is more than sufficient for my dev team.

I think have a small app in my different internal web application called `releases` (a Django app) that has a simple model called Release. I hand write the release notes, copy and paste the version number, and select date for each release (sometimes I'll batch add them if I get behind).

But I had write them with my audience in mind (business system users - who care about specific bugs or features; i leave out any internal things that wouldn't be of interest).

At the footer, or a small indicator in side bar, I display the version number that was created through our automated release process (Github Release triggers a release and the tag that is the version number gets set as an env var in my Docker image). Clicking that takes the user to a /release-notes/ page that has a descending order list of the notes that I hand author in the Django admin.

Pretty low tech but I find I like to be able to hand author the notes with the user's in mind.

Great work! Love the concept and implementation!

You can save some memory by moving to Polars from Pandas but watch out for a subtle difference in the quantile's different default interpolation methods.
