# ShipNote

> Messy release bullets → publish-ready multi-channel pack.

ShipNote is a free web tool for indie SaaS founders, mobile makers, and open-source maintainers.
Paste rough PR/TestFlight bullets. Get a pack: polished changelog, customer email, social posts
(including a longer LinkedIn-style note), a GitHub Release body, and a Discord/Slack paste.

## Product

- Sticky free-first CTA after generate on all viewports
- Free export checklist after generate (copy / free .txt, share, print)
- Idle empty form (~8s) pulses free sample chips (no auto-submit)
- free_export_complete beacon after free panel copy / free .txt
- free_sample_complete: one-click sample generates free pack and copies five free channels
- Empty Generate / demo load / shared ?sn= links also auto-copy free pack when possible
- After plain Generate without auto-copy: free export coach (Copy free pack / free .txt)
- Auto-copy failure falls back to coach (no false “copied” state)
- After free export: single free-complete bar (share + optional Launch Pack buy)
- Launch Pack: full markdown + per-channel .zip (changelog, email, social, GitHub, chat, full)
- History “Restore free pack” reloads + copies free pack when possible
- Primary generator CTA: Generate & copy free pack

- Share links include utm_source=share for measurement

- Optional multi-week continuity: last-ship notes field (or fill from local history); rephrases only what you paste
- GitHub Release panel: owner/repo fields + Open releases/new (copies body, opens releases/new; no API; browser-local)
- Public GitHub paste: owner/repo, repo tree /tree/branch, Releases page /releases/latest, draft form /releases/new (optional ?tag=vX), CHANGELOG.md blob/raw, Release URL / @tag, PR, issue, commit, or compare URL
- GitHub Action: uses: shipnotepack/action@v1; CHANGELOG.md latest section on tag if the file exists, else git log
- Homepage CHANGELOG sample chip + ?changelog=1
- Free path is five channels: changelog, customer email, social, GitHub Release, Discord/Slack
