Huge shout-out to @dai_shi for excalidraw-animate. Such a simple and elegant tool, and it made this whole visualization workflow in DaVinci Resolve incredibly easy.

I hope this API change doesn't affect the fact that the IDE writes out files when switching to a different application!

Plugin authors: if you save through VFS and then hand a file path to a CLI, formatter, VCS command, or Java file API, check this.

VFS may see fresh content before the disk does.

If the next reader is outside VFS, flush first.

Stop asking users to paste tokens into plugin settings!

I recorded a video about adding OAuth2 login to JetBrains IDE plugins: browser login, IDE callback, PKCE, PasswordSafe, and GitHub API calls

IntelliJ Platform plugin devs are getting "ErrorReportSink": an experimental API for automatic error and freeze reporting.

“Zig over Rust?” 👀

@VBragilevsky asked Andrew Kelley a simple question, and the answer turned into a very interesting take on language tradeoffs, tooling, and choosing the right tool for the job.

According to this video, the ground has a stable temperature of 10-15 degrees C at 2m depth. However, that is not the case; at 2m, you'd still have significant temperature variations. Source: Our ground-source heat pump uses 65 m deep vertical boreholes and https://t.co/Kg2luojBqW

Want fewer freezes and bugs in your IntelliJ IDEA? Help us — enable automatic error reporting:

Appearance & Behavior → System Settings → Data Sharing → Send error reports automatically

Every report helps prioritize fixes. Takes 10 seconds, makes a real difference! #ide #java

[Patrick Scheibe @halirutan]

Freeze dumps for everyone? Usually no. But when you build plugins for JetBrains IDEs, absolutely yes.

If your plugin causes UI freezes for users, you need the right diagnostics to investigate and fix them. The easiest way to collect reports is the JetBrains Marketplace error reporter, but today it does not expose the freeze dumps it already collects.

If you think plugin developers should have access to that data, please upvote this issue:

Manual component extraction is about to get a whole lot smoother. We’re bringing the Extract Component to File refactoring to WebStorm 2026.1.1!

Soon, you can stop moving code by hand:
✅ Control + T to extract instantly
✅ Optimized for modern functional components
✅ Auto-inferred TypeScript types

Architecture is about to get a whole lot faster.

[Jason Torres @TasonJorres]

The content train is in full swing @WebStormIDE is asking community members what they wanna see and we are making it happen. 2026.1.1 SOON!

[WebStorm, a JetBrains IDE @WebStormIDE]

We asked. You answered.
Someone in our Discord mentioned that Call Hierarchy doesn't always hit the mark for React components. They were right—so we're showing you the intended pro path for React navigation.
Stop fighting the IDE and start using the shortcuts designed for your workflow:

✅ Cmd + B: Jump straight to component source.
✅ Cmd + Y: Reveal full type definitions (no more truncated hints).

Watch how to level up your React workflow in 60 seconds.

Many developers care deeply about IDE performance, so we turned an internal post by @knischt into a public one. It covers the architecture behind UI freezes in IntelliJ-based IDEs, what it took to move more work off the UI thread, and the results so far.

I use "Peek", a small screen recorder, on Linux that can save APNG files, but the repo has been archived for quite some time. It's obviously too hard to even develop a screen recorder that works with all existing display servers and window managers.

New Key Promoter X release:
90k downloads in 8 days. 7.5M total.

With all the AI hype, I didn’t expect this.

Seems we’re still writing code. And still care about getting faster.
