# Objective Oftentimes I find myself reading through a PR and not quite understanding what's going on. Even if it's super detailed, it can sometimes be difficult to imagine what the end result of the PR might look like. For example, #10756 clearly communicates its goals and contains a descriptive Changelog. However, I was still a bit lost as to what a user might see from the change until I saw the dedicated example in the diff. ## Solution At the risk of giving contributors more work, I think a dedicated `Showcase` section could be really nice. Along with providing reviewers stumbling on the PR with a "tangible summary" of the change, it should also help out when working on the release post. Sometimes someone other than the PR's author has to write up a blog section on the PR. This can be somewhat daunting to people wanting to contribute in that effort as they have to rely on the Migration Guide giving a decent example (assuming it's a breaking change), piecing together the other sections into a sensible example themselves, or manually reading through the diff. Theoretically, this new `Showcase` section would be more of an encouragement than a strict requirement. And it's probably only going to be useful where there is something to showcase (e.g. visual changes, API changes, new features, etc.). ### Bikeshedding - **Naming.** I also considered `Demo` and `Example`, but there may be others we prefer. I chose `Showcase` to communicate the feeling of fun and appreciation for the work contributors put in. - **Position.** I placed the section right above the `Changelog` section since I felt it made sense to move from the details in `Solution` to a brief example in `Showcase` to a tl;dr of the changes in `Changelog` - **Phrasing.** We can also bikeshed the bullet points and phrasing of each as well. |
