How often do you feel like you find / consume changelogs when you’re looking at APIs? I feel like they’re either non-existent or non-obvious for most SaaS companies.
Do you feel like you’d trust a company’s API more if you could peruse the API changelog more easily?
- thdrdt 7y agoIt's not about trusting a company. It's about wanting to know what will break if you start using a newer version of an API. And sometimes you also discover new features that can be really useful.
- keithwhor 7y agoThat’s fair! From my perspective that’s something that’s building trust with the SaaS provider. We’ve all heard, “ugh! This API is so shitty!” before — I’m fascinated by what tools and products can be built to prevent developers from feeling these pains. Thanks for the feedback. Can definitely see that changelogs are really underinvested in across the industry, and it’s useful to have people mention how valuable they are.
