Huge milestone for the GitHub Issues team today - this also makes custom fields in Projects even easier to share across an org / multiple projects. Keeping teams in sync 💪
Issue fields are now in preview! Request access for your org in GitHub Discussions 👇

We are keeping the tempo going with this huge update on GitHub Issue search. More highly requested improvements for Issues dropping on Thursday.... 👀
Today at GitHub we're rolling out a new issues search in preview. In internal testing, the average list position has improved by 39% with the new semantic search in addition to returning more matching results.

Have you tried out the new swimlanes in GitHub Projects yet? Let us know what you think about 'em! More improvements coming soon😀
Ever feel like you're swimming upstream with your dev projects? Having difficulty managing your pool of resources? Can't get everybody in the same lane? You guessed it, GitHub Projects now has swimlanes! gh.io/swimlanes

😱 @browsercompany any chance this can be made a user-setting in the next release? Tabs syncing _everywhere_ was one of Arcs super-powers IMO

👋 Hey @iAWriter - any chance of getting a shortcut to jump to a folder? Currently you can only jump to a specific file (maybe folders could be added to this?). This would really help speed up navigation. Thank you!
