Changenotes — free AI changelog generator for chi

[elesinn]

Hey @pkieltyka and team 👋

chi is a great Go HTTP router — lightweight, fast, idiomatic.

I built Changenotes — it auto-generates changelogs from your GitHub releases using AI. Connects via OAuth, reads your commits and PRs, and produces categorized release notes (Features / Bug Fixes / Improvements) seconds after you push a release.

Open-source projects get it free forever. No credit card, no catch.

Feel free to try it or ignore — just wanted to put it on your radar.

Thank you. We'll likely use https://github.com/pkieltyka/gitgenie from @pkieltyka going forward.

But if there are benefits to your solution, I'm all ears :)

Thanks for checking it out, @VojtechVitek — and for the pointer to gitgenie.

The main difference with Changenotes: it reads PR descriptions and branch names alongside commit messages, not just subjects. So a commit like "fix router race condition" from a PR called "Fix concurrent route registration" becomes something users can actually parse:

Bug Fix: Concurrent route registration
Resolved a race condition that could cause routes to be partially registered under high-concurrency startup scenarios.

Output is fully editable before publishing, and hosted at changenotes.app/go-chi/chi.

Happy to run your last few chi releases through it so you can compare outputs directly — zero setup on your side. Just say the word.
