Canny alternative
Looking for a Canny alternative?
Canny is a feedback and roadmap platform with a changelog module. changelogfa.st is the developer-first alternative: it writes your release notes for you — straight from your commits — and ships them everywhere you announce.
Canny is a feedback-and-roadmap platform: collect feature requests, prioritise them, and publish a changelog when you ship. The changelog is one module of a larger product, and you still write each entry yourself.
changelogfa.st starts from the other end. It reads your merged pull requests and commits and writes the release note for you — then ships it to your GitHub release, a public page, Slack and email. No editor to fill in.

When Canny is the better choice
Honestly — pick Canny if you primarily want to collect and prioritise user feedback and run a public roadmap — that's Canny's core, and changelogfa.st doesn't do feedback boards.
Frequently asked
Is changelogfa.st a Canny alternative?
For the changelog/release-notes part, yes. If you mainly need feedback boards and a roadmap, Canny is the broader product. changelogfa.st focuses purely on turning your commits into release notes automatically.
Do I still have to write the notes?
No. changelogfa.st reads your merged PRs and commits and drafts the note for you; you review and ship. With Canny you write each changelog entry manually.
Stop writing release notes.
Connect a repo and changelogfa.st drafts the note from your commits the moment you ship — to your GitHub release, a public page, Slack and email.
