ahh I understand, that’s pretty cool 
Yes we have talked through this. There are engine and architecture limitations to do this the way you describe.
But we do have ideas to make place “surfing” much more convenient. I think most likely in the near term is we will make it easier to access places and Studio will know if you already have that place open or not so we can switch to the right Studio instead of always launching a new instance.

When I first got this redesign, I hated it. I still really hate it.
Why do I hate it? Mainly the lack of a dedicated recents tab.
But I’m glad to see that it’s planned to put back the recents tab. I hope that everything in there will be in a grid and not in space-hogging cards like the home page.
Oh, and the scaling of everything for me is 
, I use 150% scaling at 1920x1080 and everything is unnecessarily large. I’m using a 27 inch monitor.
And here’s what the old design looked like, much better scaling, and has a recents tab

They already said why man, its ok, 1 year from now you’ll look back and be like man, there was old UI before this?
Ok probably not exactly that, but I get that its annoying, but change can be good, so if you get stuck on the past, and keep being bitter about change, well . . .
This guys gonna be under your bed.
Anyhow does anyone want pizza? Ikr Im sharing now.

Yep we have a ticket for this one. Thanks!

Yeah the current card design is still early and we had to make them big enough for worst case scenario (extra long place names, group ownership, etc.) So it looks really wasteful with local files like you have here.
Recents is 100% in the works and will be out sooner than later. I hope we can turn your hate into joy!

Still looks same to me. But a few changes, only the style was changed. 
Feels a lot more sluggish compared to the old start page. In particular, going to the experiences tab results in many frame drops, and scrolling down is laggy when it has to load everything in. And the gradient animations and etc for loading places are a bit jarring.
This has probably been mentioned before, but I really wish there was an easy way to see all places within an experience universe. I haven’t figured out how to do it yet. Also, I don’t want to go between multiple tabs and be presented with long loading times just to get to the place I want, it’s frustrating.

There’s a network caching thing we didn’t get out this week so navigating tabs will get snappier next week. Dedicated Recents view is probably more like 2 weeks away.
You can view child places in the List view. We’ll be adding a way to do in the grid view too — designers are working on the UI for it.

What it is:sob:
I’m being taught to use a roblox studio I’ve known for five years
Did I somehow miraculously accidentally click on Start Learning instead of baseplate or did it open on purpose?

I see, thank you for pointing out the list view. Was there any reason in particular as to why the update was shipped without a toggleable beta alongside a dedicated thread for feedback? I understand there was a 50% test and a lot of the pain points mentioned in the thread will be addressed in the coming weeks, but I’m interested to know the reason behind why the decision was made to ship it this way instead.
Most of this year the Creator group has prioritized improving performance and removing hangs/crashes. As we’ve done a ton of work to eliminate crashes and hangs, the old Start Page has become one of the larger sources of these issues. So this was the biggest consideration but there are many other factors as well.
With a limited size team, we have to make the call on how much time do we want to spend investing in a dead end vs moving on to the new thing we know has a lot more potential.

We never automatically put you into the Studio tour. So you must have accidentally clicked. If you have not logged in for a while, we may have shown you a pop up and you probably hit the “Start Tour” button instead of closing the pop up.
Thank you, I appreciate the insight and the hard work you guys are putting into making something more sustainable for the long term. Looking forward to when it’s fully polished!

I appreciate the question! I know some of the stuff we do seems crazy at times but more times than not there’s good reasons. 
For example, this stuck loading thing doesn’t actually happen to a ton of people, relatively speaking, but it can seem like it if you only see the DevForum posts. Then there’s this other interesting effect where people don’t experience the problem themselves but they see other having the problem and it affects their perception. I’ve seen it multiple times with other things. Humans are funny!

This is highly appreciated!
I have to say that although a workaround to this bug is possible, it still takes at least a few minutes to do and doesn’t always work — The fix is inconsistent.
This is very annoying when trying to apply a minor change to an experience, and even more frustrating if I try to open a different experience used for developing assets while already having a different one open, as then I have to close all of them and restart the whole workaround.
I think you should just remove the “new file” button. it just opens the baseplate which is already present their. btw good menu
I would REALLY appreciate if it would be a choosable setting :)))

It isn’t prominent on low resolution monitors, and in my opinion, 1080p is getting old. You tested sub-1080p, 900p, which is very unusual as the general population uses 1080p at least and I wonder why you actually used that.
The home page under ultrawide has huge amounts of wasted horizontal space and it’s unusual that you didn’t address that but instead only focused on one aspect.
We have tons of lower end users, mostly laptops. Then there’s the fun discussion of desktop resolution vs window size. So somebody may run 3 side by side instances of Studio on an ultrawide. 1600x900 is our new lowest target to design for (right now Studio will actually go down to 480p but things like context menu aren’t usable).
We will make more efficient use of large and small space with responsive layouts. We want to do that for sure, but we don’t get those automatically for free this early on.
