The changelog has readers and no conversations
People open it. They do not reply, try the feature, or complain. I am not sure a changelog is a marketing channel or just a polite archive.

I have been adjacent to this. The sentence I would not skip is "They do not reply, try the feature, or complain". Finding who it is for mattered more than adding another feature.
I am not convinced "I am not sure a changelog is a marketing channel or just a polite archive" is the constraint yet. The people who saw it may have been the wrong room.
Ours became useful when each entry said who it was for. A list of commit moods was an archive. 'If your import times out' got replies.

The threads were interesting and the visitors did not try the product. I left a short note and closed the tab. The week is quieter. I am treating quieter as space, not as failure.

- One LinkedIn post worked and I do not know why
It was a specific teardown of a pricing page, not a tip list. It brought a few founders to the site. I am wary of turning that into a content plan before I can repeat it once.

- The about page is a biography nobody needs
It tells my story and not the reason the product exists. I am tempted to delete it. I am also told every site needs one. I would rather the page do a job.

- I am not starting a blog beside the product
I have one essay draft and a lot of opinions. The product page is still unclear. The draft can wait in a folder where it cannot pretend to be distribution.
