The vast majority (over 70%) of people using your product or visiting your site will disappear within the first week. The key to long term growth is engagement. As you launch a new product or website, it’s imperative that you keep users updated on new features and updates so they stay engaged. Chances are you will be making a ton of changes to better your product and website as you grow but if they never hear about them, you will lose users.
A great way to let your users know your product is evolving and keep them excited about your product is to have a changelog that they can reference. Headway is a simple changelog that you can share with your users to keep them in the loop. However, Headway is missing a lot of elements that really help drive engagement.

Beamer is not just a changelog, but an announcement system where you can announce anything; new content, new features, updates, or general news. It sits right within your user interface.
