No you won’t. There’s nothing wrong with announcing new features, as long as it’s not disruptive and obnoxious, like a pop up. Linear[1] for example adds a small insert at the bottom of the sidebar. It doesn’t take too much space, it’s easy to close, and you can ignore it for as long as you want, it doesn’t prevent you from working. IMO this is the right way to show new features.

- hadlock 2y agoI disagree. I want to open the app and get to work, if you added a feature after I started using your product, I have zero interest in it.
- branko_d 2y agoHow do you know you have zero interest in it if you didn’t know it existed?
- theshrike79 2y agoIn the worst case you complain that the product doesn't have feature X and go to the competition. Even though it had the feature added 2 years ago, but you weren't notified and never bothered to look.
