First-time user experience
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.
