Remove the blue dot on the Spaces panel

[daniellekirkwood]

See discussion below but we would like to:

• Remove the blue dot from the Add Space icon as we think this will be less distracting for new users and simplify the first session.

Previous issue content.

Delay the blue dot on the Spaces panel to the second time that a user logs in.
Right now the blue dot draws the user's attention but it's not the most important thing for them to do in their first session.
We think delaying the dot will improve the user's experience

@niquewoodhouse Do you agree with this issue, is there an alternative time that you think the blue dot would work better?

There's unfortunately no way for the client to differentiate between log-in and registration due to how SSO works, we could track on the server the second time they log in with a supported client (EW) if that'd help

I agree we should delay it, but not sure if second log in is right (just my opinion).

I actually vote for just getting rid of it completely. It was there to really say "hey, new thing here". I don't know if that's still worth telling people. I wonder if it is necessary to promote the feature still? Does it just distract people from other goals they might have?

Whatever you recommend @niquewoodhouse but I think the first session is not the right place... :)

Thanks for the feedback, @t3chguy ! Good to know

Cool, I totally agree. My recommendation is we just remove it, it has served its purpose.
