A user says your plugin froze their IDE. You can't reproduce it. JetBrains Marketplace now shows freeze reports linked to your plugin, with excerpts and full thread dumps. I made a short walkthrough of the setup and investigation: youtu.be/5Pdkj4lbTuc

For the foldable project view, you're in luck, because that's on @chrzanowski.info and he heard you and pushed an update :) The "License Generator" is a 3rd party plugin that didn't receive a commit since last year. Not sure how we could solve this..

Preventing IDE UI freezes is a collab between JetBrains and plugin authors. Marketplace now shows plugin-attributed freeze reports. 1. Enable reporting in plugin.xml 2. Observe Freeze tab on Marketplace 3. Use analyze-freeze skill by @halirutan.bsky.social blog.jetbrains.com/platform/202...

Need to access native libraries from an IntelliJ Platform plugin? The IntelliJ Platform is moving many native integrations from JNA to FFM. This video covers the plugin-developer changes, IDE-bundled JNA configuration, and Platform migration examples. youtu.be/LNcr40P0viw

Summer 2026 IntelliJ Platform update for plugin developers: 10 changes in ~5 minutes, including native plugin variants, Starter/Driver testing, LSP API renames, Kotlin UI DSL, PolySymbols, and VFS listeners. Video: youtu.be/5mQixmpezuI Details: platform.jetbrains.com/t/summer-202...

Before we can continue with CLion and programming the RP2040, we need to make some more tweaks to the ButtonBox design. Thanks to everyone who suffered with me through the FreeCAD session last night :) The parts printed fine and need only minor fixes. www.youtube.com/@halirutan

That was a weird issue. From "let's quickly check what's going on here..." to "hmm, nothing's obviously wrong", to "can you try this and that?", to bringing in the Platform team for an answer and finally circling back and understanding the actual issue.

People asked for an update to the SKILL.md to analyze UI freezes in the IntelliJ Platform. The skill now handles modern IntelliJ freezes more gracefully by adding coroutines and Dispatchers.Default starvation cases, a few new freeze patterns, and better fixes. gist.github.com/halirutan/36...

The Key Promoter X plugin received a second update within a short period. I wanted to replace "UI Designer" UI with plain Java for a long time, and I finally gave it a go. If you run into any trouble, please let me know: github.com/halirutan/In...

Debugging PSI trees in your IntelliJ plugins? There's a built-in debugger feature the whole hierarchy — ancestors, children, siblings — plus interactive source. No more endless Evaluate Expression calls. 👇 #IntelliJ #JetBrainsIDE youtube.com/shorts/_5fhg...

Building IntelliJ plugins for Split Mode / Remote Development? Here’s how to structure a Gradle-based plugin project using: ⚙️ IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin ⚙️ Plugin Model v2 content modules ⚙️ Optional plugin content for IDE-specific features Read more 👇 blog.jetbrains.com/platform/202...

Debugging in Zig feels like an afterthought. I spent way too long getting Zig debugging to work in CLion with the ZigBrains plugin on Linux. It works now, but the path there was not exactly smooth. If you’re stuck, ping me. I can probably save you some pain.

Too many moving parts in modular @intellijidea.com plugins? New video: building a plugin with content modules using the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin. Covers optional content modules and demos CSS PSI, available for free starting in 2026.1. youtu.be/7fEdrktCYDo

IntelliJ Platform plugin devs are getting "ErrorReportSink": an experimental API for automatic error and freeze reporting. youtube.com/shorts/gJrzG... More detailed information is available in our forum: platform.jetbrains.com/t/experiment...

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 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt8k...

Many developers care deeply about IDE performance, so we turned an internal post by Konstantin Nisht 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. blog.jetbrains.com/platform/202...

IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin 2.14.0 is not a casual upgrade. I’m live tonight at 9 PM CEST / 3 PM EDT on Twitch, X, and YouTube to break down the release, the breaking changes, and the features that matter. I’ll also update the Plugin Template to see what the new setup really looks like.

New Key Promoter X release: 90,000 downloads in 8 days. 7.5M overall. With all the AI coding hype, I didn’t expect this much demand for learning shortcuts. Turns out many of us are still writing code and want to get better at it. plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9792-...

This is either brilliant or scary: Anthropic accidentally leaked the TS source code of Claude Code (which is closed source). Repos sharing the source are taken down with DMCA. BUT this repo rewrote the code using Python, and so it violates no copyright & cannot be taken down!

Not at all. In fact, I hovered over them the first time ever after reading your post.

New video: Plugin Model v2 for IntelliJ Platform plugins. A plugin is now split into content modules, each with its own descriptor, dependencies, and classloader. It leads to better reload, clear dependencies and paves a way for Remote Development. 🎥 youtu.be/Kfsu0ITcvs0 #JetBrains #IntelliJSDK

Lovely video, especially the filters in OBS for enlarging single views. I have an AmScope with a good cam wich only works with the bloated manufacurer's software. So I created a single view app using Raylib that always shows only the microscope image and nothing else.

After a discussion about how best to get the view of my Siglent oscilloscope into OBS, I didn't want to accept that the browser is the only option. It turns out you can use a WebSocket connection to access the RFB data directly. That means, you can implement an oscilloscope viewer natively :)

Delivered in just one day by Batronix.com and I'm happy like a little kid. I unpacked it, and if I turn it on now, I know exactly what will happen for the next couple of hours... Thanks @f15y.com for the tips and the handholding.

I'm all excited about the upcoming live stream next week. I love talking with Yuriy about Platform topics and the live stream is going to be lots fun.

In the world of JetBrains IDE Plugin development, priorities shift as you gain experience. Experienced developers are 140% more likely than new developers to prioritize improvements to API documentation comments. Here are many more interesting facts: blog.jetbrains.com/platform/202...

The best side projects come from your kids asking, "How does this work?" Some time ago, I showed them that viral "squint to see Jesus" image. I sat down and wrote a Stable Diffusion pipeline with a control net in Python. Here's the YouTube Short: youtube.com/shorts/DLQ9C...

Day 1 of the Advent of Code puzzles is a fine opportunity to revisit the various definitions of the modulo operation and, specifically, how to calculate its zeros within an interval.

Dear Spotify, The absolute last thing I want your app to do, on any platform, is to display anything that moves. Stop reopening panels and showing me videos. Please. PS. I'll also never ever use you to listen to a podcast, so if I could just disable all of that, would be great
