Yeah... I was mid-typing something important and ipfs-companion popped up a new window for an update release notes.
Please DON'T do this anymore.

I don't mind seeing release notes in the ipfs-companion extension (maybe red circle notification or something over the icon), but spamming users with pop-ups is a sure-fire way to get a bunch of uninstalls.

At minimum... this should be "opt-in" and not "opt-out"

Ouch, thank you for opening this issue and sorry for inconvinience 🙇‍♂️
We will definitely improve the default behaviour and remove surface for disruptions like the one you experienced.

I am mostly inspired by this prior art from 1password:

2020-10-20--17-31-36

when clicked:

2020-10-20--17-31-58

Perhaps we could do something similar:

  1. change badge color/icon to bring attention
  2. add some kind of ℹ️ icon to the header section in the popup menu?

2020-10-20--17-41-08

It would disappear after user clicks on it. We may even skip the intermediate explainer and just make it open release notes as a quick fix.

@jessicaschilling would that do?

@lidel that seems like a more reasonable design :-)
Generally the add-ons that spam with pop-ups are the ones you really don't want to install lol.

@kallisti5 @lidel -- this sounds good to me. I'd still leave the toggle in the prefs though, just default to off ... some users may genuinely want the active reminder 😊

@lidel, I can stub this out once my IRL emergency dies down a bit, if you don't get to it first. Will probably still need a little help with the conditional on-first-load part though -- so either I can build the UX and you can wire it up, or you could drop in the code for some really barebones UI. LMK what you'd rather.

@lidel - #935 should be a useful start. Let me know if I can do anything else - thanks!

I can confirm 2.16.0 came out and the upgrade notification is a lot more reasonable.
I actually was still "pulled into" clicking it and looking at the release notes, but it didn't interrupt my workflow.

Nice work!
