💅 Schedule view revamp​

We believe viewing your schedule should be crisp and clear, and today we're shipping a revamped view of your schedule with interesting events highlighted top left.

We moved the right column to the left and added a minicalendar to help with interesting events.

The calendar at left highlights days when absences or other events are happening.

Check out this cute calendar!

You can also click the segmented button at the top right for an experimental, full-calendar view of your schedule!

👶 Introductory video for new users​

Adding a teammate to Hotpot might come with very little in the way of introduction. To help new users understand the benefits of Hotpot, we now provide a snazzy demo to get their mental models up to date.

🗓️ Scheduler improvements​

Removing users from a team now prompts you to correct any existing assignments for which they are scheduled. We're actively working on this area, and the current state is merely the first step. Expect more magic here soon!

📢 Slack comms​

Keeping the team up to date in Slack is an important feature, and we've spent some time cleaning up the way times and assignments are presented in Slack.

"For less than a minute" is not as helpful as "for the day".

We also now include the stint's name in the forecast message so you can view it the next day with less confusion.
