v2.4.0

ShipStory v2.4.0 - Multi-Tone AI Story Engine & PR Deep-Parsing

GitHub PRsAI GenerationStory AnglesMulti-Draft StudioNew Feature

Multi-Tone AI Story Engine is now available in ShipStory. Connect your GitHub repository or paste any public PR link, describe your milestone, and generate three high-engagement, publication-ready story drafts tailored for X.

This release keeps your engineering context authentic while providing benefit-led narrative composition, clean technical summaries, and zero generic AI boilerplate. There is no limit on draft revisions: edit in place, switch angles, and decide which draft best captures your momentum.

•
One source, three perspectives: Every analyzed commit or PR creates three distinct story drafts: Founder Journey (insight and motivation), Customer Changelog (crisp product notes), and Technical Breakdown (architecture, diff metrics, and lessons).
•
Direct PR & commit tree composition: ShipStory extracts AST changes, pull request discussions, and commit intent while stripping build artifacts, lockfiles, and test snapshots for clean prompt ingestion.
•
Persistent generation progress: The studio maintains real state during AI gateway analysis and story generation, persisting context across page reloads so you never lose unfinished drafts.
•
Focused post revisions: Select any generated draft and adjust tone, emphasis, or punchiness with targeted prompts without altering the other story angles.
•
Multi-branch selection: Switch seamlessly between main, release branches, or tagged milestones directly from the repository selector.

Story Angles That Stay Under Your Control

Generated drafts now reserve dedicated editable blocks while ShipStory renders each angle as an interactive card. Double-click any post to open the inline studio and refine character limits, hashtags, and narrative flow with zero delay.

•Edit Founder, Changelog, and Tech Breakdown drafts independently.
•Choose from curated builder voices (Solo Founder, Infrastructure Lead, Open Source Maintainer).
•Control character count, thread segmentation, hashtag density, and emoji tone.
•Reposition or split multi-tweet threads directly while maintaining 280-character compliance.
•Toggle between single-post blast and structured thread format with one click.
•Keep syntax-highlighted code snippets intact with auto-formatted monospace blocks.

Export And Sharing

Publish selected drafts directly to your personal X feed via official X Web Intents, or copy raw markdown to your clipboard for GitHub Discussions and newsletter dispatches.

Web Intent publishing uses zero stored X credentials: your personal session signs every post directly in your browser. All GitHub token storage uses hardware-grade AES-256 encryption with zero credit deductions for manual draft re-edits.

v2.3.0

ShipStory v2.3.0 - Zero-Credential X Web Intent & Review-Before-Post

X Web IntentReview ModeSecurityThread SplitterUpdate

Direct Review-Before-Post workflow is now standard across all workspaces. We rebuilt the publishing flow from first principles: no builder should ever have to hand over their Twitter or X account passwords, API tokens, or OAuth write-permissions to publish their updates.

ShipStory now composes pre-formatted, character-validated Web Intents that open securely in your authenticated browser tab. You review every word before it goes live.

•
Zero credential storage: ShipStory never asks for or stores your X login tokens or developer app keys. Your social identity stays strictly in your hands.
•
Accurate thread segmentation: Long-form stories are automatically split at logical sentence boundaries into numbered 280-character thread increments.
•
Live character counter: Interactive visual gauge alerts you if URLs, hashtags, or emojis push your draft over X's limit before you trigger post review.
•
One-click clipboard export: Instant copy-to-clipboard for quick sharing on LinkedIn, Mastodon, Bluesky, or internal team Slack channels.

Builder-Led Review Workflow

Rather than automating posting behind closed doors, ShipStory elevates your editorial voice. Automated drafts serve as an inspiring first draft, giving you full creative direction.

•Pre-flight linting checks for repetitive hype keywords or generic marketing clichés.
•Preview thread layout exactly as it will display on mobile and desktop feeds.
•Save draft variants to workspace history for scheduled future launch announcements.

v2.2.0

ShipStory v2.2.0 - GitHub Connector & AES-256 Token Vault

GitHub OAuthAES-256 VaultSupabase RLSDiff AnalyzerCore

Hardware-grade token encryption and deep repository indexing are now live. Connecting your GitHub repositories is now faster and significantly more secure. ShipStory integrates directly with GitHub OAuth and seals your private access tokens inside an AES-256-GCM encrypted database vault.

Our background indexer reads repository commit SHAs, author metadata, and merged pull requests, presenting a chronological activity log in your studio sidebar ready for instant story conversion.

•
AES-256-GCM token encryption: Every GitHub connection token is encrypted server-side with unique derivation vectors before reaching database storage.
•
Row Level Security (RLS) isolation: Supabase database policies guarantee that repository metadata, candidate commits, and generated drafts are strictly accessible to the authenticated owner.
•
Selective repository consent: Grant access only to specific repositories or your entire public catalog based on your organization's security preferences.
•
Bounded diff inspection: Intelligent payload capping ensures large binary commits or bulky package files never overwhelm processing limits.

Developer Privacy First

We never train AI models on your private source code. Code diffs are processed strictly within bounded Google Gemini AI Gateway transactions and discarded immediately after draft creation.

•Zero source code retention in persistent storage.
•Explicit revocation button to instantly purge all stored repository links and tokens.
•Audit log recording every generation and synchronization event.

v2.1.0

ShipStory v2.1.0 - The Developer Studio Beta Launch

Public BetaDodo PaymentsWorkspaceLaunch

ShipStory officially opens its doors to builders and open-source creators. Silent building is dead. We created ShipStory because brilliant developers ship monumental features every single day, but nobody hears about them because writing distribution updates takes hours away from coding.

ShipStory bridges the gap between your git commits and developer distribution, transforming silent commits into magnetic build-in-public stories in under 15 seconds.

•
Interactive Studio Workspace: A unified workbench to paste commit links, browse synced repositories, generate three draft angles, and publish directly to X.
•
Transparent Dodo Payments billing: Simple monthly ($2/mo) and annual ($24/yr) plans with instant activation and self-service cancellation.
•
Warm-paper editorial theme: Hand-crafted typography and layout inspired by engineering notebooks and classic printing presses.
