Hey folks, been working on an AI tool and thought I'd share how I draft release notes based on merged PRs. It’s kinda tricky to keep everything clear and user-friendly but super important! Would love to hear how others are handling this or any tips you got!

One trick I use is to tag PRs with categories like bugfix, feature, or docs before merging. Makes notes clearer.
Any advice on how to encourage your team to write better PR descriptions for easier note drafting?
For those generating notes automatically, how do you handle PRs with multiple commits or linked issues?
Sometimes I just copy the PR description as is, but it's not ideal. Anyone with better ideas?
I noticed some teams also link to related issues or PRs directly in the notes. Helps for deeper dives.
Would love to see some real examples of good release notes generated from PR merges if anyone wants to share.
I like to add emojis next to features or fixes in release notes to make them more engaging :)
I try to automate pulling info from PRs to generate draft notes. It’s not perfect but saves a bunch of time! Anyone else tried this?
Does anyone have a template or format they follow for these release notes? Always looking for better structure.
Honestly, the hardest part is balancing technical details with readability for non-dev users in the notes.
I've found that summarizing key features from the PR titles helps a lot when drafting notes. Saves time and keeps it neat.
