Auto changelog draft from completed Linear projects
Create a changelog draft every time a Linear project completes so release communication starts from shipped work instead of from someone remembering to write it later.
Why this can grow a startup
Release notes usually disappear into the gap between shipping and retelling. By the time someone volunteers to write them, the details have scattered across tickets, screenshots, demos, and memory. Auto-generated drafts close that gap. The first version appears while the project context is still intact, which makes it much easier to publish consistently and much easier for support, success, and product marketing to point customers at what actually changed.
Company example
Productlane's changelog docs say every completed Linear project auto-generates a new changelog draft, ready to share with customers.

When to use it
Use this when Lifecycle, Product Marketing, Retention is relevant to release communication, customer education, product adoption and you can run a bounded test with a low budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
