You can't make this stuff up
- tuwtuwtuwtuw 5y agoIt just seems stupid to me, or maybe I just don't get it. If I need to create a github repo should I then remember this extremely special "shortcut" rather than just clicking "new repo" in the github UI?
- vidarh 5y agoI just have a bookmarks menu on the bookmarks bar for frequent actions. That, incidentally also means I get straight to e.g. the correct Google account (I have a work one, one for my personal company, and a private one, and I have menus for each of them)
- mattzito 5y agoDisclosure: I work at google and was vaguely involved in one tiny sliver of this. Some of the .new urls are more useful than others, imo. I think the GitHub example feels thin to me, as creating a repo is a relatively infrequent action. But I use docs.new and sheets.new daily, to throw together notes for a meeting, or because I want to model something - usually for scratchpad use cases. It’s the fastest way to get right into an editor, and then I decide later if I want to save it to someplace to organize it. The problem with some of the journey-oriented flows like reservation.new is that it doesn’t give me a chance to enter any parameters, and so it saves me a touch of effort but I still have to go tweak the time and party size, etc.
- anoncake 5y agoI don't love Stripe and creating invoices is not my favourite action. This is false advertising.
