Why switch from Headway to Vershun?
Headway was a popular changelog tool, but it hasn't shipped a meaningful update since 2020. If you're still on Headway, you're using abandoned software. Vershun is the modern replacement - changelog, feedback, roadmap, status page, uptime monitoring. Actively developed and EU hosted.

Why switch now?
Headway has been unmaintained for over 5 years. No new features, no security patches, no bug fixes. The product is effectively abandoned. If you're relying on Headway for your changelog, you're building on a foundation that's no longer supported. Vershun is actively developed with weekly updates, a public roadmap, and a team that ships.
GDPR & data hosting
Headway provides no transparency about where your data is stored or how it's processed. Vershun runs entirely on EU infrastructure (OVHcloud, France), making it natively GDPR compliant. No data transfers to the US, no extra paperwork.
Why teams switch from Headway to Vershun
- Headway is abandoned - no updates since 2020, no security patches
- Vershun ships weekly with a public changelog and roadmap
- Feedback board, public roadmap, and AI changelog - features Headway never built
- Linear & GitHub sync: import issues and turn them into polished release notes
- EU hosted on OVHcloud - GDPR native from day one
