Getting Started

Get up and running with ReleaseGlow in 5 minutes

Create an Account

Sign up via email/password or OAuth (Google, GitHub) at releaseglow.com/signup. Email confirmation is required. On creation, an Organization is automatically created with your name.

Create a Project

A project represents a product or app. Each project has its own changelog, announcements, and widget. Click 'New Project' in the dashboard, name it (e.g., your product name), choose a slug for the public URL, and optionally add a logo, primary color, and website URL.

Publish Your First Entry

Paste raw notes (commits, bullet points, tickets), click '✨ Rewrite with AI', review the AI-transformed user-friendly text, adjust if needed, and click 'Publish'.

Install the Widget

Copy the snippet from Settings → Widget and paste it before </body> in your app. The widget displays both changelog entries and announcements.

<script
  src="https://cdn.releaseglow.com/widget/v1.js"
  data-project="proj_xxxxx"
  data-position="bottom-right"
  data-theme="auto"
  async
></script>

Complete the Setup Checklist

The dashboard shows a checklist for new users. Once completed (account created, project created, first entry published, widget installed, team member invited), the checklist disappears and is replaced by the active dashboard with stats, quick actions, and recent activity.
