I added a changelog to my portfolio's footer a few months ago. Real version numbers, real fixes, dated entries.

It turned out to be the most convincing thing on the site. More than the case studies. More than the homepage.

A homepage proves you can make one good thing once. It is a photograph, a single frame, finished and static. A changelog proves something else entirely: that you keep showing up, that you notice small failures, that you fix what breaks without being asked.

One entry in mine documents a font quietly failing on some visits, a bad request falling back to a worse default nobody flagged. Finding it took an hour. Fixing it took one line. That sentence says more about how I actually work than any polished project write-up.

Go look at your own site. Not the case studies, the footer. If there is nothing dated in the last month, that is the gap worth closing before the next one.
