What

Designed for the part nobody wants to do — posting it.

Shiplog turns the messy bit between shipping and tweeting into a 10-second card-press.

10 seconds

From rough note to ready-to-post.

Paste your messy update. AI rewrites it into a clean headline, three crisp bullets and a version tag.

4 templates

Milestone, Metric, Changelog, Tease.

Every template is tuned for the feed — 1:1 for posts, 16:9 for banners, 4:5 for screenshots.

Branded PNG

Gradients, accents, fonts — yours.

Lock in your colour palette once. Every card you ship looks like the rest of your brand.

Templates

Four shapes for the four times you actually post.

Built from the patterns you already steal off Twitter — only sharper, on-brand, and exportable in one click.

How

Three steps. Roughly the time it takes to make a coffee.

No designers harmed. No Figma opened.

01

Drop the rough draft.

Paste a tweet, a Slack note, a commit message. Shiplog reads what you meant, not what you typed.

02

Tune the look — or random it.

Four templates × four gradients × four accents. Spam the random button until it sings.

03

Download. Post. Repeat.

PNG export at 2× DPI. Drop it on X, LinkedIn, the group chat. Your future self thanks you.

Who

Made for the people who ship in the open.

Indie hackers

Make your changelog the marketing.

Ship-then-tweet without the screenshot dance.

Open source

Release notes worth retweeting.

Drop your CHANGELOG.md, get share-ready cards.

Founders

Investor updates that actually land.

Metric cards your LPs forward, not skim.

Creators

Milestones that beg for the bookmark.

1k followers? Make it a moment, not a screenshot.

Reviews

Quietly loved by people who ship more than they tweet.

Took me longer to copy the URL than to make the card.

Finally — a tool that respects my deeply lazy posting habits.

My changelog now gets bookmarks instead of yawns.

The SOFT axis on the headline serif is criminally good.
