    Description

      A welcoming message is a cheap initiative that has a great impact on users.

      The following mockup is an example of how it could look:

      However, we need to address some issues:

      • Will it be displayed in the dashboard, replacing its title?
      • Are we having variations of the message? For example:
        • When the user first logs in:
          • "Welcome, '$user_first_name'!"
        • On following sessions:
          • "Welcome back, '$user_first_name'!"
          • "Glad to see you again, '$user_first_name'!"
          • Etc...
      • Do we want to make it easy to extend/customise, or is the string overriding enough for admins to customise it?
