When it detects an existing user (identified by a user id, email, or whatever you'd like to use), it'll show them the new updates since the last time they visited.
It's helped me in a few of my projects keep users up to date. It's very new/beta. If you don't ant to sign up to check it out, here's a slightly older video demo: https://youtu.be/n4vmIsw2N3k
I'd love to know what you all think and I'm happy to answer any questions.
Try to avoid processing of end-user's email addresses, e.g. ask websites to send you a hash of the email address or such, or immediately hash it after receiving. With GDPR and privacy in general having a database full of email addresses is just unnecessary data collection.
Whomever implements Whats New into their website/app can pass in any data they'd like as the identifier (hash, email, id, nickname, etc) as long as it's unique. Great suggestion to hash it with regards to GDPR and unnecessary data collection. I should definitely work on encouraging people to shy from using email addresses.
