New Design Beta Release
Today we're releasing the new look for everyone. Here you can read our initial announcement: https://www.jitbit.com/news/new-design/ In that article we laid out the approximate schedule, features and philosophy behind the new design.
Here is what you need to know today:
1. This is an initial beta release. Expect bugs and inconsistencies while we finish polishing things. That said, we've been using the new design in our team for about a month and we enjoy the experience. Don't be scared to try it.
2. The beta test is opt-in. You can stay on the old design until the beta test ends. We recommend that you give it a try and send us your feedback. We will switch everyone to the new look eventually. Probably until the end of the year.
3. The opt-in is per user. If you turn it on you'll only see it yourself. All users can decide which version they use during the beta test.
4. We've changed how color customisation works. You can now customise only one color which we call the "accent color". Check it out in general settings. We might add more colours in the future depending on your feedback.
5. Your "custom css" and "custom js" settings will break. They might not break, but if you did any serious customisation there is a 95% chance that it won't work.
6. The mobile UI is not ready yet, but still should be useable.
