Sure!

  1. Click “New Goal” (https://www.beeminder.com/new)
  2. Figure out that the grey plus button is “Next” and click it.
  3. Click the same grey plus button again (it means “Do More” this time)
  4. Select “per year” in dropdown
  5. Type the yearly rate you want.
  6. Type units you want.
  7. Click “Continue”
  8. Enter slug
  9. Click “Continue”
  10. Click “Finish”
  11. Click “Go To Goal”
  12. Wait up to 24 hours to get the “Reminding you about $GOALNAME” email so your goal will become integery.
  13. Now your goal is up and running.

So that’s definitely an improvement!

Perhaps off topic but the re-design introduced a lot of inconsistencies with the naming of Goal slugs and titles. The API defines the terms slug and title which the old UI also exposes and I have always presumed to be canonical. The new UI refers to the slug as “a short goal name” and also as “goalname” (no space). It refers to the title as “description” which is particularly unfortunate because the only place “description” appears in the API documentation is as a definition of fineprint.
