The dashboard has too many buttons in various colors. In attempts to declutter and show the most important things to the user, we're going to phase out some things and change the location of others.
How the dashboard currently looks per v8.4.4(to be released Wednesday Oct 2nd):
1 - These 3 buttons should be removed:
These are important buttons so they will be moved to the plugin sidebar below the Pro upsell.
2 - Remove the current 3 buttons below the upsell and replace them with those which were above.
Roadmap & Voting, I believe this is a key button to keep users informed and see what we have in store and allow them a way to interact with us. We will move this to its own submenu item below "Exclude Posts"
Take the Survey, this has fulfilled its purpose for now. We were able to pinpoint the major issue with using the plugin was getting accounts connected and steered and continue to steer in the direction of using our own apps. Since moving in this direction, users taking the survey have consistently rated getting started as being "Fairly simple".
Show your love. This button is a single-use button and once a user has possibly tweeted, it no longer serves an "important" purpose. The same can be said about the "leave a review button" but we can conditionally hide the leave a review button based off the feedback we receive from users after we show them the leave a review notice.
3 - Remove the time label.
This label serves little use enough to be present in the sidebar, If a user set their blog timezone to their country timezone, then they would know the time. Furthermore, the free and personal license of the plugin does not have need for this label as users schedule sharing based on "how many hours until".
Custom scheduling is only available in the Business version, therefore we can include this label somewhere inside the custom scheduling tab, when that license is active:
Additionally, we can take other steps to inform users about how the plugin pulls the time (based on the setting inside Settings->General->Timezone)
More decluttering will take place(such as collapsing accounts once one is connected) but I will open separate issues for those.
