First-time user experience improvements

Linear improved the sign-in and onboarding experience with an introduction to the command menu and features for new users, added redesigned keyboard shortcuts, emoji autocomplete in issue descriptions and comments, Slack integration with /linear command, and various UI refinements including loading state animations and bug fixes.

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 Fixed bugs in GitHub integration and removed source code access from permissions Fixed keyboard navigation in Inbox Fixed sub-issue actions to focus on the correct sub-issue Moved add team functionality to settings page
