Thanks for checking it out. We show updates only if there is something new since you last visited so you will not see the widget on every visit. Also, if you don't want to see it anymore, you can unsubscribe in one click.
Also with analytics you can see how your users are reacting. If you guys have any other ideas, we would love to chat more.
Personally, if I see a pop-up then I close the page.
"Download our mobile app."
"Give us feedback."
"What's new."
No. If I want to know what's knew, I'll click a "What's new?" link. Put it at the top of the page and make it obvious, but not so obvious that it feels like it wants to move in with me.
Hey coherentpony! This is a direction we want to pursue. We will be adding this very soon (and let you pick between a few styles). We have some big ideas and this is just our MVP. Thanks!
You should be able to query for just the data with the JS API. Not everybody wants to use an overlay. Maybe I want to show it inside a box in my layout. Or maybe provide different preset templates for displaying the data.
Cool idea and it looks very nice. After scrolling for a bit the first things I wanted to know were "How much?", which you have covered, and "Can I see a demo site?", which seems to be missing.
It would also be cool to have options other than an immediate modal, like a what's new link with a red circle containing the number of new features. Click the link and then show the modal.
When I come to a website and see a pop-up box in the middle, I reflexively delete it without reading it. Is it possible to have the feed go directly in the main web page instead?
Hey cabalamat! We will be rolling out our next version in a couple of days which will have different options for showing the updates. One of them will be to embed an inline widget in your page to show the updates. That can be put up on the main page.

But thank you!
Also, we have a JS API that lets you customize quite a bit - https://whatsnew.io/docs. Thanks!
This is silly to have as a service.
In this implementation, I'd have to click through to each individual blog post to figure out everything that's changed.
So presumably the solution would be to point it to something like "rssfeed.php?category=newfeatures" or some such custom concoction.
