Description

Description of the new feature/enhancement

The Settings UI should have a Home page with release notes and other information on it. A rough design idea is to have a GridView with cards of different releases. Clicking on the card would display the release notes for that release.

I'm curious to look at AdaptiveCards and see if they may make any of this easier? Maybe we could hook up this page to a templating service and this would be generated automatically?

Questions for the community

  • What would you like to see in the home page?

Analysis
We should take a look at what VS Code adds in and how they do this.
