A changelog is product communication, not documentation
Users care about what changed and why it matters. A changelog gives that narrative in one place.
Benefits you get immediately

The 2-minute workflow
- Paste your latest commit list

Publish small and often. Weekly notes outperform irregular large release dumps.
