Hey all,
I am looknig for changelog software recommendations. I have spent a little time looking, and honestly not found anything that seems to suit our use-case.
I work for a smallish MSP, and we are looking for a way to document everything we do for a particular customer from a technical standpoint. We aren't looking fo ranything that will allow public or customer interaction or viewing, but rather something that we can use internally to keep track of details we need for reference and info.
Some requirements:
- open source, prefer free for self hosted.
- ability to collaborate (so, accounts/logins and update/edit the same log)
- searchable logs
- usable on mobile
- ability to QUICKLY add entries/updates
- Perhaps some ability to format entriies (though there is resisitance to markdown for this purpose- too slow)
- 'pretty' factor matters to some of our team
- ability to add images or other things that might be required to document changes
I had at one point suggest Workflowy, which I use daily and love for keeping track of things, but was shot down pretty quickly (due to the inability to add images, not self hosted... and I would argue not pretty emough for the team).
It doesn't seem to me that there is a lot in the space that is streamlined in the way we are looking for... most seem to involve customer interaction, posting info to a site, 'tracking' specific types of changes, or are very narrowly purpose driven.
Any suggestions at all? Does such a thing exist?
