Changelog

The Changelog is a running log of every change that ships in Glowtify — new features, improvements, bug fixes, internal work. It's the place to come back to when you want to know what's new since the last time I looked.

Open it directly at app.glowtify.com/changelog. There's no link in the main navigation today — bookmark the URL if you check it often.

What you'll see​

Entries are grouped by day, newest first. Each day's header shows a quick count — "3 new · 5 improvements · 8 fixes · 12 internal" — so you can scan at a glance.

Four categories, color-coded:

  • New — a feature that didn't exist before
  • Improvement — an existing feature that got better
  • Fix — a bug we squashed
  • Internal — plumbing, dev experience, infrastructure — nothing user-facing

Features and improvements get full cards with a title, a summary, and screenshots or short videos when relevant. Fixes and internal entries are collapsed into a "Show N fixes & internal" expander at the bottom of each day to keep the page scannable.

Each card links back to its Jira ticket (GLOW-XXXX) and the GitHub PR that delivered it. You don't need access to either to read the entry itself.

How it's built​

The entries are automatically generated from merged pull requests and Jira tickets — every time the engineering team ships, a bot adds the entry to the changelog. There's no manual write-up step on most entries: the title is the ticket summary, the screenshots come from the PR description, the category maps to the Jira issue type.

This means:

  • Updates land within a few hours of shipping. Not on a release cycle.
  • The wording is engineering-flavored on most entries — closer to a release note than to a marketing announcement. Big features sometimes get an editorial pass; smaller ones don't.
  • Internal entries are visible to everyone. They're rare on the surface (collapsed by default) but you'll see them if you expand.

How to use it​

A few patterns:

  • Coming back from a vacation? Open the changelog, scroll until you hit your last login date. Everything above is new since you were here.
  • Wondering if a bug got fixed? Search the page for keywords (Cmd+F). Fixes are categorized so you can confirm the work shipped.
  • Tracking a specific feature? Find its Jira ticket on the entry and follow that ticket's status — the changelog only confirms when the work shipped, but the ticket has the discussion that led to it.
  • Infinite scroll — the page loads 7 days at a time as you scroll down. To find something old, just keep scrolling.

What it doesn't show​

  • Roadmap / unreleased work. Only shipped changes appear. For what's coming next, talk to your account contact or watch the discovery work in Jira if you have access.
  • Reactions or comments. The changelog is read-only — no upvotes, no comments. If you want to give feedback on something that shipped, use the thumbs-up / thumbs-down in the chat, or write to support@glowtify.com.
  • Major-version releases. Glowtify ships continuously — there are no v1.4 / v1.5 milestones to track.
  • Dashboard — the home page where you spend most of your time
  • Contact support — if you find a regression in something that shipped
