From publish to noticed

A shorter path from
“we shipped” to “I saw it.”

Ding keeps the whole announcement loop small, understandable, and yours.

  1. 01

    Write the update

    Draft in Markdown, add a tag, and publish from your private dashboard.

  2. 02

    Serve it yourself

    Your announcement and analytics stay on your infrastructure, not ours.

  3. 03

    Meet users in-app

    A discreet bell and feed put what changed exactly where users already are.

The actual experience

Small footprint.
Clear signal.

The widget stays out of the way until there is something worth saying. Try the bell. This is the interaction your users get.

  • ✓ Framework-agnostic
  • ✓ Keyboard accessible
  • ✓ Read state stays local
