Thank you for the list! Answering shortly:

> On the signup screen I accidentally clicked 'sign in with google' then reailzed I didn't want to, and I don't think there's a way to go back to the first screen (without restarting the app)

Noted! Will be fixed :)

> When I go to Help -> Documentation in the mac native menu bar I get a link to electronjs documentation, not Enso docs

Oh, I was not aware that it is there! We will remove it. Thanks for catching it! :)

> The button in the top right that looks like a power button was a bit confusing. I didn't understand what it did immediately and there's no tooltip to explain it.

One of the things that we are improving now is adding hover-labels for buttons with explanation of what they do. We also want to make the UX much more approachable by new users. It will take us some time (a few weeks, as it's planned after fixing stability issues), but it's already on our short-term plan to be added!

> I noticed a bug where if I hit the spacebar multiple times quickly to toggle the result view the entire canvas goes blank, then comes back if I hit the spacebar again

I cannot reproduce it. Would you be so nice and create an issue report with a short screen recording and your machine spec here, please? https://github.com/enso-org/enso/issues

> I found it a little confusing that the args of a node are displayed as a var name even when the exact input is known. For example I had the constant `6` as an input to a function `n.up_to` which rendered as `number1.up_to` when I expected to see `6.up_to`.

This is one of the things we are currently working on! This will be much improved in one of the following minor releases (we will do a release every week now).

> I didn't find it intuitive that you cant (I think) edit existing nodes. Do you have to create new ones from scratch, or copy/paste somehow?

You can do it. We use double-clicking to ENTER the collapsed nodes. To edit the node use `CMD + Left Mouse Button` on the expression (or `ctrl` if you are not Windows or Linux). The full list of shortcuts is here: https://github.com/enso-org/ide/blob/develop/docs/product/sh...

We want to add an icon for that as well, so it will be easily discoverable in the future.

I'm really happy that most of these points cover with our dev plans! It means that in a few weeks you'll have a much better experience <3
