Hot Reload Beta08 just dropped and I am very proud of all the progress we made πŸ™‡ https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-hot-reload/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta08 We added new 'Reload Effects' and I would really be interested in opinions! Thanks a lot to @maiatoday for inspiring us to do this with her talk! Contributions Welcome & Own Effects can be built as well πŸ‘€

I love the border effect, as well as the "since last reload" timer! One of my issues with hot reloading was when it was too fast, reloading before my eyes switched from the code to the UI. I wasn't sure if it had already updated or not! πŸ˜…

Thanks πŸ™‡ You're the first one raising an issue because your incremental build speed is too fast 🀭 But thats a good point! We do have also new IDE integrations that might help you. Let me prepare a demo!

1. There are logs from compose hot reload shown in your run window 2. There is this floating toolbar right in the IDE which can switch the color can be used to issue a reload

Absolutely love it. Been using it earlier this week with the new effects and it's not only fun but also very useful to see what it's doing! And the effect when it fails to compile is a masterpiece πŸ€“

(i dont want to derail but I just want the LAF/UI from your latest screencaps, is it available in public/latest builds? is there a flag I can turn on? hopefully i can get this in AS)

Note that you have to turn it on via a back door. It's not visible by default.

Huh, I didn't remember enabling stuff... But my ide is in internal mode, so that may be implicit
m
It may have been launched then put behind the registry item later.
