Builder-written launch content
Let the person who built the feature write or heavily draft the launch copy so the explanation has real detail and picks the right audience.
Why this can grow a startup
Launch copy gets vague when it is handed off too far from the work. The builder knows which problem was actually solved, which details matter, and which communities will care. That makes the content more specific, more credible, and easier to adapt to different channels without sounding generic.
Company example
Supabase said the person who implemented a feature usually writes the marketing content for it, which helped the team market UI launches in design channels and storage launches in more technical venues.
