Discussion on: How I Built LoopSignal: Public Feedback Boards, GitHub Sync, and Changelogs for Indie Developers

Totally relate, it’s way too easy for feedback to disappear into random notes and never turn into anything useful.

That GitHub handoff and changelog loop were exactly what I wanted to fix, so I’m glad that part resonated. Hope it helps you build a cleaner feedback flow in Cursor too.

yeah exactly—i've got a notes.md that's basically a black hole at this point. been trying to wire things so feedback surfaces into github issues instead of disappearing. did you find the changelog piece got easier once the github sync was in, or still some manual cleanup involved?

Yeah, once the GitHub sync was in place the changelog part became much easier.

Because every approved request already turns into a GitHub issue, the only thing I really need to track is the issue state. When it gets closed, LoopSignal marks the feedback as completed and it can show up in the changelog automatically.

There’s still a tiny bit of manual cleanup sometimes (like tweaking the changelog title or grouping things), but the heavy lifting is basically gone. The goal was exactly to avoid that “notes.md black hole” situation 😅
