Description

Desired behavior

As a user, I would like to have insight from within the Studio UI regarding updates and releases for the product. I would like to see the date/time studio was last updated (meaning patched or released with new code) as well as a link to the Github releases page where I'll be able to see a summary of the changes. Some suggestions:

  • Utilize the service worker to track and surface updates

Current behavior

From Studio itself, I have no visibility into whether or not Studio has been updated to resolve an issue I've been experiencing, or if new features were released that I can take advantage of.

Value add

  • With visibility into this information, consistent updates could promote confidence in the product
  • Users have more confidence in the resolution of issues by being able to see for themselves that it's been updated

Possible tradeoffs

  • Adds additional noise that some users may not care about

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Studio UI and the service worker, which the issue suggests for tracking updates. Determine how to show the last patch or release date/time and link users to the GitHub releases page; done means users can see both from within Studio.
