Subject Fieldwork update: bulk due dates and pay links

Hi there,

Two changes this week that save you clicks. You can now edit due dates on many invoices at once, and add a Stripe payment link to any invoice so clients can pay straight from it.

We also fixed two bugs: PDF exports that lost the last line item, and recurring invoices that landed a day early in some timezones.

Dependency bumps and refactors stay out. You can edit every line before it goes out.
  • fix: reminder emails sent twicePayment reminders now go out once.
  • feat: CSV import for client listsBring your client list in from a spreadsheet.
  • fix: PDF export dropped last line itemPDF exports keep every line item.
  • feat: dark mode for client portalThe client portal has a dark mode.
  • feat: Stripe payment links on invoicesClients can pay any invoice in one click.
  • fix: tax rounding on multi-currency totalsTotals in other currencies round the way your accountant expects.

Release notes are the first thing cut on a Friday.

So customers never hear what shipped. A week of fixes and features turns into one line that nobody reads.

Friday afternoon, handled

  1. Connect a repo

    Pick the repos and branches that count as a release. Shipnote reads PR titles, descriptions and merge dates. It does not keep your source code.

  2. Review the draft

    You get a draft in your voice, learned from the last few releases you wrote by hand. Reword a line, drop one, or add a screenshot.

  3. Publish once, send everywhere

    One click puts it on your public changelog page, in the email to your list and in the in-app announcement.

What you get back

Before you sign up

What does Shipnote read from GitHub?

PR titles, descriptions, labels and merge dates. It does not read your diffs or your source files, and it only looks at the repos and branches you pick.

Does it publish without me?

No. Every draft waits for you. Nothing reaches your changelog page, your email list or your app until you approve it.

Who writes the drafts?

Claude, through the Anthropic API. Your PR text is sent there to write the draft, and the draft comes back to you for editing.

When do I get access?

Access opens in batches, in order of signup. We email you when your batch opens.

What does it cost?

Free during the private beta. We will announce pricing before the beta ends.

Does it work with GitLab or Bitbucket?

Not yet. The beta reads from GitHub only. Tell us where your code lives when you sign up and it helps us decide what comes next.

Stop writing release notes at 5pm on Friday.
