ShipShipShip

ShipShipShip is a lightweight, self-hostable changelog and roadmap web application for sharing product updates and collecting community feedback. It combines a public-facing changelog with an admin dashboard to manage events, statuses, and communications.

Key Features

• Rich event management with a WYSIWYG editor (TipTap) supporting markdown-style content, tags, and media uploads
• Emoji reactions (multiple reaction types) and a voting system for community feedback on proposed features
• Kanban-style roadmap / board with drag-and-drop statuses for planning and tracking work
• Theme system to install and customize public changelog appearance via theme manifests
• Automated newsletter/email system with configurable SMTP and status-based triggers
• Full-featured SvelteKit admin UI and a RESTful API for integrations and automation
• Docker-ready deployment and single-file SQLite data storage for simple self-hosting

Use Cases

• Publish release notes and maintain a public changelog to keep users informed
• Run a community-driven roadmap where users vote and react to proposed features
• Automate announcement emails when items change status (e.g., when features are released)

Limitations and Considerations

• Default storage is SQLite (single-file); this is convenient for small deployments but may not scale for very high-traffic or multi-tenant installations
• Email delivery requires proper SMTP configuration; deliverability depends on the chosen SMTP provider
• Advanced enterprise features such as built-in SSO/LDAP or clustering are not provided out of the box

ShipShipShip is suitable for teams that want a focused, themeable changelog and roadmap tool with community voting and integrated newsletter automation. It emphasizes simplicity and developer-friendly deployment with Docker and a REST API.
