Now that the dust has settled on the initial work to stand up walkthroughs and their contribution to the Get Started page, I think it's time to take a look at the experience overall with fresh eyes.
A few questions to kick off a discussion:
Do the walkthroughs...
- Meaningfully increase retention for new users?
- Increase productivity by showcasing features like command palette, side-by-side view, etc.?
- Get dismissed immediately/contribute to a negative experience for experienced developers?
- Need to pop up right after install? (vs. an opt-in model)
Some obvious quick wins in the meantime:
- Raise overall UI quality/polish bar for walkthroughs
- Move/add/remove walkthrough steps as needed
- Give walkthrough and individual steps a content pass
- Refresh theme picker thumbnails
