The Latest as a Canny alternative
Feedback platforms bundle a changelog with request boards, voting and roadmaps. If the changelog is the part you actually need, this page explains what you get instead.
They solve different problems
A feedback platform is built around the loop before a release: collect requests, group them, prioritise them, then tell people what shipped. The Latest is only that last step — a public page where you post what changed, on a URL you can link from anywhere.
Plenty of teams already track requests somewhere they like — GitHub issues, a spreadsheet, a support inbox. If that part is working, adding a whole platform to get a changelog out of it is a lot of surface area for one page.
When a standalone announcement page is the better fit
- You already have somewhere to collect feedback, and only the “what shipped” page is missing
- You want release notes indexed and linkable, not behind a widget or an account
- You would rather set something up in minutes than roll out another tool to your team
