Abduzeedo isn't shipping software — it's a design showcase, and this feed is its post stream.
All six entries are editorial posts published within nine hours of each other: a retro display-font specimen, cosmetic packaging for a skincare brand, a furniture brand identity, an event identity built around Didone type, a sports rebrand for a broadcaster, and a retrospective on Anime.js reaching ten years. There is no product, no version and no release anywhere in the feed.
Mentimeter is reaching past the presentation into recurring team sensing
Mentimeter publishes monthly or seasonal digests, each carrying a handful of changes. The recent run has been split between editing ergonomics — a grid view for slides with the same copy, duplicate, rearrange and delete actions as the thumbnail rail, PowerPoint add-in accessibility fixes — and AI applied to what the audience said, with automatic takeaways surfaced on the Results tab after a session. The larger move is Menti Pulse, in closed beta: recurring anonymous pulse checks delivered inside Microsoft Teams chats.

There is no product, no version and no release anywhere in the feed.
The publishing rhythm — several posts a day, each a short write-up of someone else's design work — is that of a design-industry publication, not a software changelog. Its useful signal is what the design community is looking at, not where a product is heading, and its high post cadence will inflate any velocity read that assumes entries mean releases.
Expect the same multi-post daily editorial cadence to continue. These entries contain no product roadmap to predict from.

The larger move is Menti Pulse, in closed beta: recurring anonymous pulse checks delivered inside Microsoft Teams chats.
The product is trying to exist between meetings rather than only during them. Menti Pulse runs on a schedule in Teams with trends over time, and AI takeaways make what happened in a session persist as something readable afterwards rather than a chart that dies with the room. Everything else is craft work on the authoring surface, which is where Mentimeter's existing users spend their time.
Expect Menti Pulse to leave closed beta with Teams as the only delivery channel at first, and expect the AI takeaways already generated per session to become the natural summary layer over Pulse's recurring results.
