blockstack-radiks / banter Goto Github PK

The most simple idea would just be bold styling or maybe color change. Ideas is to make it easy to parse Blockstack IDs from the rest of the text.

I just realized an alternative solution to a dedicated invite feature that is faster and easier. We could make the placeholder copy on the message read something like: "Say something! Invite friends with an @mention!"

So when someone links something, a card is rendered for the site.

User can skip or dismiss

Something like Booom or some other funny thing. Maybe an apt emoji

This is more of a design challenge than a technical challenge.

Current: The modal just closes. Did this send or work?

Expected: Some kind of confirmation, stating your invite was sent.

Number of weird formatting errors on different email clients. Would suggest being overly specific on all the css properties. This example is from Superhuman

Clicking the little button is pretty annoying. Think this could be subtle tool tip next to the button

Start typing @something... Then weird things happen

You should be able to:

• Upload an image attachment
• Include a photo URL in the contents of the message
• Use a twitter-style Giphy integration to search for gifs

The included image should show up with the message in the feed.

Suggest we upgrade the copy to something like: "Would you like to invite them via email? Otherwise, they probably won't ever see your message."

I followed this email link to the message. But I can't join from here?

2 suggestions:

– Include a CTA to login/join on this screen if user is not signed in.

– Include link in the email template.

"Join Banter now to respond" or similar.

Include a message that says Banter needs to refresh or restart

Think we should include a general way to invite new users via email. Could be ID or email, but either way we would need an email to actually send an invite, so might default to just email.

Expansion on that idea: We could make invites a form of posting.

• Click invite
• Enter the email(s)
• Enter the invite message
• Click send
• Banter displays a post that says something like:

jeff.id invited someone to Banter "Hey this is the thing I typed."

• Welcome email/invite is sent to specified email and includes the message.

Our redux store contains the online/offline status of the client, if the user is offline we should hold their messages and display a notification stating that they're offline.

• In email subject lines.
• Logo
• CTA for sending message
• Could even be the "like" button.
• The default avatar also.

Think my main suggestion would be breaking the lines between the ID of the author and the content. If we can do some simple formatting, then you could try bolding the author ID followed by line break.

Suggest fixing the indents.

Suggest using a link vs. the entire URL.

The way gmail converts jeffdomke.id is annoying, I assume there is no way to disable that, but maybe?

This is pending more support for deletion from within the Radiks framework.

Type:

@bob @

Result: Menu won't display
Expected: Name menu appears

• /users/${name}
• Pull profile details (name, avatar, etc)
• Display feed of user's posts
• Show 'not a Banter user', with profile.json data, if the user isn't in Radiks

Note to self for explorer-related data: the URL is https://blockstack-explorer-api.herokuapp.com/api/names/hankstoever.id

Continuing discussion from here: stacks-archive/app.co#469

Currently the link takes you to a page that only displays the single mention.

Would be super cool to take the user to the mention inside the context of mentions around it. Or, maybe load 20 before and 20 after. Context matters here and I assume showing more would make the likelihood of engagement higher/better.

For example: https://staging.banter.pub/messages/8672b1744974-4040-bf8b-984fe907e1d8

I clicked on the string assuming that it may be a name I already own that is not being displayed properly.

• Transactional email to the email associated with ID
• Include a link back to Banter

MVP could be clicking on a hashtag, and you go to a 'search' page for posts that include the hashtag.

Harder mode would be:

• Text bar for search
• Autocomplete user search

My suggestion would be Every few hours or something relatively benign sounding. And I think we should set that to 4 hour intervals and make this the default setting.

Rational: People will want to respond to new posts. Once per day you will miss all the action. 4 hours is the right amount of time, but people won't want to opt into this time interval because it sounds like too much. But it won't be, it will feel just right to people are really engaged.

What does this mean? They are already in the DB?

User job stories:

Author of the post:

• When I want to direct my comment at specific person
• I want to be able to mention them directly on Banter
• So I can be sure they see my message

Receiver of post:

• When someone on Banter mentions me in a post
• I want to get a notification
• So I can skip checking the Banter app constantly

Some feature ideas to support this epic:

• Optional collect emails upon first auth
• Allow for @-mentions of specific user IDs
• Allow for fetching user IDs in situ while typing a comment
• Specific UI handling for the IDs in comments.
• Specific UI handling for a Banter where your ID is mentioned.
• Email contents of Banter to email when mentioned
• Reply to specific Banters (thinking the feed will turn into a giant mess otherwise)

Those are initial thoughts, will only ticket the MVP version. @hstove @aulneau

This is why Thomas's original design only included the 'first' part of the ID. But that was also confusing.

My initial hunch is to have a 'full-width' top area on the profile page, which would never overflow. It would also go well with your 'description', which I tried but it looked bad in that small sidebar.

• When I want to @ mention a specific person, but they have never used Banter
• I want to invite them to Banter
• So that they see what I posted and reply

Rational for this is that it closes a basic viral loop for adoption and retention.

I imagine that a user authoring a post can mention any Blockstack ID, but often a certain user will not be a Banter user (no email address). Upon checking Radiks, the app can prompt the author user if they wish to invite that targeted user, simply by adding an email address. This would send an transactional invite with the text from the mention.

Imagine this work work like twitter or our forum. Could be triggered by the @ symbol.
