> We built Runway to connect all those dots. It pulls in all Jira tickets and code relevant to the release, side-by-side, to surface and resolve any out-of-sync tickets or code. You can set up custom, interactive checklists with item-specific owners to replace the monster Google spreadsheet, and our Slack integration will ping the appropriate people or notify everyone when important milestones happen. Design/marketing can enter ‘What’s New’ release notes directly in Runway for all localizations (with a handy list of new features in the release to reference) without you having to hunt them down. Plus, Runway helps teams maintain good workflow hygiene by automatically tagging releases in GitHub and applying missing labels to Jira tickets.

How do people do all this for plain web-apps, deployed on a cloud? I don't do anything with mobile apps, and this all sounds great - especially the non-code stuff, like Jira integration and checklists.

We're happy to hear this sounds appealing even in a non-mobile context! While some of the friction and pain points that Runway aims to solve are especially acute for mobile, it's true that releases are often a problem area for web as well, especially in team settings. We definitely have the idea of applying Runway beyond mobile in the back of our mind!
