First-time user experience⁠

This week we made major improvements to the sign in and first-time user experience: everyone in your team will now get an introduction to the command menu and other Linear features.

If you are an existing user, you can initiate first-time introduction through the command menu by searching for “welcome tutorial.”

Keyboard shortcuts⁠

Redesigned the keyboard shortcuts page with a new design and added all the supported shortcuts. Hit ? to bring up the keyboard shortcuts.

Emoji autocomplete⁠

Typing : in any of the issue descriptions or comments now brings up the emoji autocomplete.

Slack /linear command⁠

In addition to the “More actions” message action, you can now open the new issue dialog with /linear command to file new issues quickly from Slack.

Loading state⁠

While we don’t like seeing loading states in the app, having one for the initial load and browser refresh is necessary. We improved design with a subtle logo animation.

Other improvements & fixes⁠

• Updated favicon
