Import from any RSS/Atom feed — switch from Beamer, Headway, or anywherenew

Aug 7, 2026 · by dario

The importer now speaks feeds. Give it any RSS or Atom feed URL and your entries arrive as posts — titles, original dates, and HTML bodies converted to clean markdown.

Why that matters: most hosted changelog tools — Headway, LaunchNotes, AnnounceKit, and friends — expose a feed, even when there's no export button. So does every GitHub repo (github.com/you/repo/releases.atom) and most blogs. That feed is now a one-paste migration path.

Don't know your feed URL? Paste the URL of the changelog page instead — Wakelog reads the page's advertised <link rel="alternate"> feed and imports from that.

It works everywhere URLs are accepted:

the import box on your project dashboard
POST /api/v1/:slug/import with url= (add dry_run=1 to preview)
wakelog import <url> from the CLI
/try — preview any feed as a hosted changelog, no signup
even the changelog linter will grade a feed

As always: duplicate titles are skipped, so re-running is safe, and dates are preserved — no import-day timestamp flattening four years of history into one afternoon.
