What is Brella?

Brella's public blog is purely marketing — no product release entries in the past two years of feed data.

Brella's most recent post (May 26) is an SEO piece pitching the platform on outcomes — 40% meeting acceptance rate, 530K+ meetings facilitated in a single year. Before that, the trail goes back to October 2025 with a vague 'next generation content platform' headline, then thought-leadership posts about meeting programs and networking neuroscience. Product release notes do not appear here.

What is Jitsi?

Jitsi's blog is largely dormant, its only fresh post a Summer-of-Code announcement

Jitsi's feed is its project blog, and it is largely dormant, the only recent post is the Google Summer of Code 2026 project announcement, after which entries drop back to late 2025 and 2024. When it does cover product, the content is substantive (receiver audio subscriptions, AV1 as the default codec, SSRC rewriting for large calls), but those posts are months to years old.

2.5

Brella's public blog is purely marketing — no product release entries in the past two years of feed data.

◆ Current state

Brella's most recent post (May 26) is an SEO piece pitching the platform on outcomes — 40% meeting acceptance rate, 530K+ meetings facilitated in a single year. Before that, the trail goes back to October 2025 with a vague 'next generation content platform' headline, then thought-leadership posts about meeting programs and networking neuroscience. Product release notes do not appear here.

◆ Where it's heading

Brella is treating this surface as a thought-leadership and SEO funnel rather than a changelog. The October 2025 'next generation content platform' post is the only hint of a real product move in the trail, but the description is too thin to assess what shipped. Whatever product evolution is happening is being reported via marketing prose, not release notes.

◆ Prediction

Without product-grade release entries in the feed, the signal will remain marketing-heavy. To track real direction, an in-product changelog or release notes page outside this RSS surface is required.

Jitsi's blog is largely dormant, its only fresh post a Summer-of-Code announcement

◆ Current state

Jitsi's feed is its project blog, and it is largely dormant, the only recent post is the Google Summer of Code 2026 project announcement, after which entries drop back to late 2025 and 2024. When it does cover product, the content is substantive (receiver audio subscriptions, AV1 as the default codec, SSRC rewriting for large calls), but those posts are months to years old.

◆ Where it's heading

This is a stale, low-frequency feed rather than an active changelog. The historical product direction, SFU performance for large calls, modern codecs, and SIP interoperability, is sound but not currently reflected in fresh posts. The recent signal is community and organizational (GSoC), not shipping.

◆ Prediction

With only a GSoC announcement as recent activity, there is not enough in this feed to predict Jitsi's next product move; the blog appears to update infrequently.
