IMHO:
Vercel/Next.js and their wonderful changelogs and documentation. Probably the "coolest" tech company in my book.
Cloudflare, who almost single-handedly pushes the CDN industry ahead. So much respect for what they do and how they explain it in easy to understand terms.
IntelliJ family of IDEs and their extensive release notes and forum discussions; it can be a bit overwhelming and disorganized at times though
My personal favorite headless CMS: DatoCMS, small company but highly involved devs and iterating very quickly
Google USED to be really good at this long ago, but since Alphabet, they've become less and less transparent and more and more evil
Airtable, for bridging that gap between Excel and a proper database, with a heavy focus on UX and great release notes
- d0gbread 5y agoSimilar to Airtable, Coda is another nice example. Their engineering team has put out some amazing work, and their release notes (via email) are typically very well done, with concise gifs of the functionality. It's so easy to skip those bells and whistles. I will say to Google's benefit, the Data Studio team is building a pretty nice product, but there are some crazy gaps and the custom connector docs leave a lot to be desired.
