This week: dashboard CTA now appears for logged-in users

This week I shipped a small but meaningful UX improvement: logged-in users now see a clear dashboard CTA in the hero. It sounds minor, but it smooths the path from curiosity to action for people who want to connect their repos and start sharing commits automatically.

What shipped

• –The hero section on the landing page now shows a dashboard button when you are signed in.
• –The CTA is contextual, so returning users are taken straight to the place where they can link repos and review scheduled posts.
• –Behind the scenes I cleaned up a few screens to make the transition faster and less noisy for new sign-ins.

I made this change after watching a few folks click around the site and stop at the hero. They wanted to get to their dashboard but had to hunt for it. The new CTA removes that friction and cuts the number of clicks to start sharing commits.

Why it matters for indie builders

If you ship daily work, you also need an easy routine to show it. Every extra click or unclear path is a point where you lose momentum. Getting straight to the dashboard means you can connect a repo, pick a template, and schedule a commit post in the time it takes to brew coffee. That slightly faster loop makes it more likely you will actually share your progress, and sharing consistently is what builds visibility and credibility over weeks.

What's next

Tomorrow I’ll tidy up the first-time flow inside the dashboard so new users can connect a repo in three simple steps. If you want to follow the daily build log, I’m on day seven of a seven-day streak and will keep posting what I ship.
