Pain
The branch creation modal asks for a branch name and then saves, with no warning that the save takes a while. The only time estimate in the product shows up after the user has already clicked save, in the progress modal, so the wait is a surprise every time.
The cropped "g" in the modal title is no longer part of this. It was fixed and released in tinacms 3.6.2, and the title now renders with room to spare.
Approach
Show the estimate in the branch creation modal itself, before the save, worded to match the estimate the progress modal already shows. The wait is paid on every new branch, not only the first one a user creates, so the message must not promise it is a one-off.
Acceptance Criteria
- The branch creation modal shows an estimated time before the user saves, not only afterwards.
- The wording matches the estimate shown in the progress modal.
