@joevaugh4n The only problem is that older storybook's will still use excerpt and not title. So we kind need to make sure that this property keeps being filled with something presentable.

We could change this in the whatsnew endpoint @winkerVSbecks :
https://github.com/storybookjs/dx-functions/blob/aa81b1fa093d94d571f618684888f3a000040c8e/netlify/functions/whats-new.ts#L29-L35

Maybe we can both fill title and excerpt with the blog title. For backwards compatibility?

cc @winkerVSbecks – @kasperpeulen that’s an interesting idea re. changing the What’s New endpoint.

As a short-term fix (even if just for the SB8 release), could we change this so that rather than the excerpt being a dynamic value (as that’s the part that SB shows), we instead hard-code it to replicate whatever we make the SB8 byline/subheading?

e.g. if the SB8 blogpost title ‘Storybook 8’ and the byline is ‘Major compatibility and testing improvements’, could we just change the excerpt value to be ‘Major compatibility and testing improvements’?

If I understand correctly, that would surface irrespective of a user’s Storybook version, right? And it means we don’t need to do more work on this in the short term.
