Summary

First launch now opens with a curated podcast-cover reel and an animated invitation: “You bring the curiosity.” The reply cycles through mysteries, laughs, headlines, big ideas, stories, discoveries and lore, using the listener's theme accent and matching icons.

Motivation

Give new listeners a clearer, more engaging introduction to boxlore while keeping setup choices easy to reach on smaller phones.

What changed

  • Replace the previous welcome composition with a solid Material 3 cover panel, two continuously tiled artwork rows and coordinated text entry.
  • Start the reel with a stronger glide, then settle into continuous motion. Rotate subtitle words in a measured slot with a longer pause on lore.
  • Use a compact primary discovery action and connected search/import buttons with their icons.
  • Share one lifecycle-aware motion clock, honor the system animation scale, and provide a static reduced-motion reply.
  • Keep heading and reply semantics stable for screen readers, preserve RTL layout, and allow scrolling when large text or a short window needs it.
  • Add pure motion helpers, 26 focused timing tests and module documentation.

Behavior & compatibility

Discovery, search, import and skip retain their existing callbacks. The onboarding flow, analytics and recommendation logic are unchanged. Artwork uses existing bundled covers; this adds no network requests, permissions, dependencies or storage changes. Actions are available immediately rather than waiting for the visual entrance to finish.

Impact (required)

  • user-impact-critical
  • user-impact-high
  • user-impact-medium
  • user-impact-low
  • no-user-impact

Listener impact

New listeners see a more welcoming first-launch screen with animated podcast covers and clear choices to find shows, search or import their library. Smaller screens and larger text retain access to every setup action.

Release copy (verbatim — highest priority)

CHANGELOG.md

Changed

  • Redesign the first-launch welcome screen with curated bundled cover reels, coordinated headline entry, accent-coloured rotating words and icons, and compact Material 3 discovery/search/import actions.
  • Share lifecycle-aware, system-scaled motion across welcome artwork and copy, with stable accessibility semantics, reduced-motion presentation and responsive text layout.

Added

  • Add hermetic tests for welcome reel velocity and wrapping, word-loop ordering and timing, readable holds, reduced motion and long-running clocks.

README What's New / Upcoming

Improvements

  • Meet boxlore with a new welcome screen: moving podcast covers, a playful invitation and clear choices to find shows, search or import your library.
  • Welcome adapts to smaller screens and larger text, and respects your phone's animation settings.

Test plan

  • 64 onboarding JVM tests pass, including 26 welcome motion tests.
  • Root Detekt, repository ktlintCheck and onboarding Android lint pass.
  • Debug build installed; signed optimized release build installed on a connected Android 16 phone.
  • Release compilation and vital lint pass; the optimized APK passes release-contract validation.
  • Confirm the existing onboarding flow and callback body are unchanged.
  • Manual acceptance: watch a full welcome loop, background/return, and open discovery, search, import and skip.
  • Manual acceptance: enlarged text, RTL and disabled system animations retain readable copy and access to actions.
  • Remote CI and review complete before merge.

Notes

The final optimized build is installed for listener review. Automated tests and installation are complete; final visual/interaction acceptance is listed separately above.

  • Documentation
    • Updated onboarding guidance and manual checks to reflect the Welcome screen’s content, layout, actions, and motion.
📝 Summary

Walkthrough

The onboarding module replaces its previous welcome-screen implementation with a themed Welcome screen. The screen adds a curated cover reel, rotating invitation text, lifecycle-aware motion, responsive layout, and actions. Motion tests and onboarding documentation are also updated.

Adds a two-row reel of bundled covers and a responsive invitation with a reserved word slot and accessible description. Adds the screen copy and ordered reply-word resources.
Welcome screen integration and documentation
feature/onboarding/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/feature/onboarding/WelcomeScreen.kt, OnboardingScreen.kt, feature/onboarding/README.md
Adds the Welcome screen layout, actions, scrolling, and status-bar handling. Removes the former private welcome implementation and updates onboarding documentation.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Feature


Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7f2e2

The refreshed welcome screen has no established functional defect. The motion clock's frame-timing rules lack test coverage, which a small follow-up can add. The PR is mergeable with that follow-up.

- Around line 45-46: Extract the frame-step calculation from the clock into a
pure helper in WelcomeReelMotion or WelcomeMotionClock, preserving the 0–100 ms
delta clamp, MotionDurationScale division, and nanosecond-to-millisecond
conversion. Add JVM tests for negative and over-100 ms deltas and scales of 0.5
and 10, and ensure the changed onboarding composables have matching tests under
src/test.
