It felt repetitive and I kept <br> skipping it. My users had no idea what was happening in the product.</p> <h2> What I Built </h2> <p><strong>ReleasePilot</strong> connects to your GitHub repository via webhook and <br> automatically converts your commit messages into clean, readable release <br> notes every time you push.</p> <p>No GitHub Actions. No config files. No manual writing.</p> <h2> How It Works </h2> <ol> <li>Sign in with GitHub</li> <li>Connect a repository — webhook registers automatically</li> <li>Push code as normal</li> <li>ReleasePilot generates release notes within seconds</li> <li>Published to a public URL at <code>/changelog/username/repo</code> </li> </ol> <h2> Tech Stack </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Next.js</strong> — frontend and API routes</li> <li> <strong>Supabase</strong> — database and GitHub OAuth</li> <li> <strong>Groq API</strong> — LLaMA 3.3 70B for AI generation</li> <li> <strong>Vercel</strong> — deployment</li> <li> <strong>Razorpay</strong> — payments</li> </ul> <h2> What I Learned </h2> <p>Building a SaaS solo from a Tier 2 city in India is completely possible <br> with the tools available today. The hardest part wasn't the code — it was <br> getting the webhook security right and making the AI output actually readable.</p> <h2> Try It </h2> <p>Free for 1 repository. No credit card needed.</p> <p>👉 <a href="https://releasepilot-sigma.vercel.app" rel="noopener noreferrer">releasepilot-sigma.vercel.app</a></p> <p>Also launched on Product Hunt today — would love your support and feedback!</p> <p>👉 <a href="https://www.producthunt.com/products/releasepilot" rel="noopener noreferrer">ProductHunt</a><br> <a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fxhw6hn85tbdb6gkkdcbn.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fxhw6hn85tbdb6gkkdcbn.png" alt=" " width="800" height="380"></a></p> github saas webdev showdev
