Less Annoying CRM lets users pin notes to the top of a contact
LACRM ships slowly and from user requests. Two weeks after October's bundle of six features (scratchpad widget, custom contact labels, event and task search, history filters), it added pinned notes that stay at the top of a contact or company record. Earlier in the year came configurable task views, rich text fields, undo merge and relative date filters.
Teamgate's tracked feed is content marketing — sales playbooks, CRM dashboards, KPI guides — rather than product releases.
Teamgate is a CRM platform whose Featurebase-tracked feed is dominated by content marketing posts: book reviews, CRM dashboard design guides, sales KPI benchmarking, customer retention insights. The visible window contains no product feature releases — every entry is a blog article.

The work stays on the daily record view: making the current state of a client easier to see as history grows. No AI, pricing or integration moves appear in the entries.
More small record-view and search features, either one at a time or as another bundle, are the likely next step.

From this feed alone, Teamgate's visible trajectory is editorial: a content cadence aimed at sales managers and CRM decision-makers, mixing how-to guides, framework explainers, and book reviews. Whether the company is shipping product alongside is not visible in this feed. Cadence is high — multiple posts per week.
Expect continued content publishing on the same axes — sales productivity, CRM adoption, dashboard design. Real product release commentary will only be possible if Teamgate begins surfacing feature shipments here or via a separate product changelog. For readers comparing CRMs, look elsewhere for Teamgate's actual release activity.
