I think they’re a design smell. If your interface is designed well, you don’t need them. If you hide features behind cute-but-meaningless icons with no text tooltips, you users will still struggle to find them even with an irritating onboarding tutorial.
- ativzzz 3y agoHow would your users find out about a new feature on a page that's tucked away into a menu without one of these?
- taneq 3y agoPatch notes? You can give users some bullet points to read when they run a new version for the first time, without railroading them into clicking through the menu structure. Also maybe keep the menu structure logical so that users can actually discover functionality by looking through the menu, like we did in the old days before semantically relevant text was replaced with tastefully ambiguous generic pastel icons.
