My First Confluence App – Hello [User's Name] 👋

📝 What it does

This Forge app renders a personalized welcome message inside a Confluence page. It greets the user by name (e.g., “Hello Aayush Singh! 👋”), welcomes them to the space, and displays the current theme (light or dark). It demonstrates how Forge macros can embed dynamic, user-aware content directly into Confluence pages.

🛠️ How i built it

• Built using Atlassian’s Forge development platform.
• Used the Forge CLI to scaffold the project.
• Integrated:
  • requestConfluence(/wiki/api/v2/users-bulk) to fetch the logged-in user's name.
  • view.getContext() to detect and display the current theme.
• Displayed personalized UI using UI Kit components.
