I got tired shipping in silence, so I built FeatDrop

It’s 2026, and I’m working on my second product.

I mostly build on my own, and I genuinely enjoy shipping improvements every day. But one thing has been bothering me: almost nobody sees what I’m building.

It feels like throwing pebbles into the water and seeing no ripples.

I got tired of shipping in silence.

I tried adding a changelog page inside the product, but hardly anyone looked at it. I also posted updates on X, but with fewer than 200 followers, nothing meaningful really happened there either.

So I built FeatDrop — a public changelog for product builders who want to share progress as they ship.

With FeatDrop, you can post multiple updates across multiple products each day, and the home feed is designed to help people discover new product changes from other builders.

I think it works especially well for solo founders, side-project builders, and small teams who want to show momentum and make their progress more visible.

One feature I personally love is the update calendar on the profile page. It gives you a monthly view of everything you shipped. To me, it feels like a more human and motivating way to show product momentum than a GitHub graph.

That idea was partly inspired by an infographic from ProductCompass.

If you’re actively building, I’d love for you to check it out — and I’d be happy to hear any feedback.
