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.
Vendasta's recent changelog entries are blog content — no product release data is visible
All of Vendasta's logged entries are blog posts, case studies, and thought leadership articles about AI automation for agencies, local business marketing, and white-label tools. There are no product release notes, feature announcements, or capability changes in the recent entry set. The content volume is high and consistently targeted at digital agency operators.

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.
All of Vendasta's logged entries are blog posts, case studies, and thought leadership articles about AI automation for agencies, local business marketing, and white-label tools. There are no product release notes, feature announcements, or capability changes in the recent entry set. The content volume is high and consistently targeted at digital agency operators.
The blog topics — AI employees for agencies, AI receptionists for auto service, white-label marketing platforms — suggest an active product area around AI-powered business tools, but the actual product roadmap isn't readable from editorial content alone. Without product release data, the trajectory cannot be assessed from the available entries.
Without actual product changelog data, no grounded prediction is warranted. The editorial content themes indicate the company is investing in AI-powered agency tools, but what specifically is shipping and when is not visible here.
