I’m excited to share some fantastic insights from our recent user test on the new grid layout - a project that couldn’t have been successful without your participation and support.
In October, when we announced the test, the response was overwhelmingly positive, we had almost 100 volunteers. A big shout-out to everyone who joined in, including those who were too late to the party and were not able to participate.
The feedback we gathered through our survey was incredibly insightful, with a rich mix of perspectives from designers, developers, and professionals from other areas.
A special mention to the Canonical team, who dedicated their hackathon week to analyze Grid Layout and give us feedback.
The testing phase led us to identify numerous potential improvements, in different areas:
- Bugs and Performance
- UI improvements
- Functionality Enhancement
- Feedback for our support material
We listened to your ideas and the team has already worked hard to implement most of them. Here is a sneak peek of one of the improvements already developed by the team:

Additionally, we received numerous compliments on the new UI from users. This was an unexpected but welcome bonus, highlighting the appeal and effectiveness of the new design.
A massive thank you to our product team and every single one of you in the community who contributed. Your dedication and feedback are what allow us to keep pushing boundaries and improving.
