feat(welcome): blog feed on welcome screen + friendlier analytics copy#1010
Conversation
Surfaces the most recent posts from genie.devoxx.com on the DevoxxGenie tool-window welcome screen using a hybrid bundled + remote strategy: - Build: new generateBlogIndex Gradle task parses YAML frontmatter from docusaurus/blog/*.md and writes blog-posts.json under build/generated-resources/blog/, registered as a main resources srcDir so it lands on the classpath via processResources without polluting the source tree. - Runtime: BlogFeedService loads the bundled JSON synchronously for instant render, then asynchronously fetches the live RSS feed off the EDT via the existing HttpClientProvider (with a hardened DocumentBuilder), caching results in PropertiesComponent for 6h. Falls back silently to bundled data on any failure, and pushes updates to the UI whenever the prior cache was bundled/stale or the feed content actually changed. - UI: new BlogPostUi model + Welcome.blogPosts state, rendered in a "Latest from the Blog" Compose section between Quick Commands and the footer. Each entry opens the post in the browser via BrowserUtil. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The previous first-run analytics balloon read like a legal disclosure
("To guide which features and LLM providers we invest engineering
effort in...") which makes developers reach for Disable. Replaced with
copy that leads with the open-source framing, puts reassurance ("no
prompts, no code, no file paths, no API keys") before any data list,
and makes the escape hatch visible inline.
- Notifier title: "DevoxxGenie usage analytics" → "Help shape DevoxxGenie".
- Notifier body: shorter, friendlier, with an inline link to
AnalyticsEventBuilder.java on GitHub so technical users can verify
the payload directly.
- Affirmative action: "OK, Keep Enabled" → "Sure, help out".
- Settings page: matching intro paragraph, friendlier checkbox label
("Help improve DevoxxGenie by sending anonymous usage data"), the
same GitHub source link via HyperlinkLabel, and reordered so "What
is never sent" appears before "What is sent" — same instinct as the
popup. Detailed lists retained since the settings page is where
users go for the full disclosure.
