Tack v0.26.0: A Guided First Run

Version 0.26.0 perfects the first minutes inside Tack. Until now, a new Pioneer landed on an empty dashboard and was left to discover the driver on their own. They are now welcomed the way the product deserves — with a guided, skippable introduction told in Tack's own visual language.

Five Chapters, One Thread

• The Intro Tour: On first arrival, a focused five-chapter walkthrough introduces the driver — the living meeting canvas, the ochre drift flag, one-tap parking, live decision and action capture, and the outcome map every session ends with. Every chapter is illustrated with a real frame of the product itself: the surrounding interface dims and a lit spotlight rests exactly on the element being explained.
• Guidance Inside the First Meeting: The introduction continues where it matters most — live. During a Pioneer's first session, a calm guided tour moves across the actual meeting: the canvas where the drift card lands, the outline rail, the live captions, the controls, and the exit that produces the outcome map. Each step dims the room and spotlights one region, with plain words on what to do and what to watch for.
• Frictionless by Design: Both tours are fully keyboard-navigable, honor reduced-motion preferences, can be skipped at any moment, and never appear twice — completion is remembered with the account, on every device.
• A First Meeting, Not an Empty Page: The dashboard's quiet state is now a launch pad — three calibrated steps (Start, Talk, Arrive), a one-click path into a live session, and the practical notes that matter: allow the microphone, keep the tab open.
• Replay on Demand: The introduction remains one tap away for anyone who wants to revisit the fundamentals before their next session.
• A Calmer Start: The microphone now waits for the guided tour to finish before it asks for permission, and full-screen is opt-in rather than automatic — the first session begins exactly when the Pioneer is ready, with no prompts competing for attention.

The result: a Pioneer's first live meeting begins with full command of what Tack is watching for — and why the room will leave with more than a transcript.
