AI App Store Release Notes Generator

    Inspiration Source: "Mobile App Maintenance" is ongoing work. Every app update requires developers to write release notes for App Store and Google Play. This is often overlooked but crucial for user communication.

    Target Customers: Independent mobile app developers, mobile teams at SaaS companies, product managers.

    Pain Points:

    • Tedious and Repetitive: Writing release notes is boring, repetitive labor.
    • Communication Mismatch: Developers tend to list technical bug fixes (like "Fixed null pointer exception in UserSessionManager"), while users and marketing teams want to see valuable feature updates and engaging descriptions.
    • Lack of Inspiration: Difficult to describe simple bug fixes or minor improvements in interesting, compelling ways.

    Solution (Micro-SaaS): An intelligent release notes writing assistant. Developers can paste Git commit logs, PR title lists, or feature descriptions, and AI automatically generates user-friendly, multi-style release notes suitable for app stores.

    MVP Core Features:

    • Raw Information Input: Support pasting multi-line text (like git log --oneline output).
    • AI Information Refinement: AI reads input, converting technical descriptions (like "refactored user login flow") into user-understandable language (like "We've rebuilt our login system to be faster and more reliable.")
    • Style Selection: Provide multiple output styles like "formal professional," "lively and fun," "minimalist" (only list core updates).
    • Multi-Version Generation: AI generates both long version (for description section) and short version (for "What's New" prompts).
    • One-Click Copy: Easy copying of generated text to App Store Connect or Google Play Console.

    Development Investment (Technical Implementation): Low. Pure LLM application, perfect for indie developers.

    • Large Model API Calls:
      • Core Engine: Claude 3 Sonnet or GPT-4 Turbo. Prompts are key, needing to include numerous excellent release notes as examples and instruct the model to extract core user value from technical descriptions.
    • Hugging Face Open Source Models:
      • meta-llama/Llama-3-8B-Instruct can fully handle this task.
