Create widget home page #152

Currently the "create widget" windows goes to google Korea.

Maybe it's better if "create widget" opens straight to the modal of "Name and URL address".

Or allow the user to set a "home" page. Maybe I want to use "Duck Duck Go" or "Bing".

I thought about this. Tell my opinion that show search engine about initial page when make widget.

First, user, first use oh-my-desk, maybe don't know that what is oh-my-desk. So, I show user oh-my-desk can use web-site using widget.

Second, The method of "Name and URL address" is very strict. When you want to visit "google.com", If you type "googel.com" then you show empty page instead of "google.com" page And you don't know what is wrong! So, I recommend the method of searching page in search engine.

Third, I want to serve both method of creating widget. User can create widget using method that user want.

Forth, When First access at create widget page, users may be confused about what to do if they show both "Searching page" and "Name and URL address form". So, Oh-My-Desk show "searching view" and "Notification Message".

As a result, the view was created as it is now.

We consider about using "searching engine". We know that famous search engine pages are "Google" and "Bing". We didn't know about "Duck Duck go". So, When choosing one of the two, we decided to fix it with "Google".

Now, we know "Duck Duck go" 😄 and We will add "Naver(famous page in Korea)" and "Baidu(famous page in China)".

We will update that selecting searching engine in initial page. 😄Thank you for suggestion.

Do you know another recommended searching engine page to add select list?

I don't know more search engines. I like Duck Duck Go best. They don't track our data.

How about this idea. When user clicks "Create New Widget", the app can direct them to a new window where they can choose...

Method 1: Type or paste the website address

Method 2: Use Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo or other search engine.

Something like this....https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmWCmCgwvctbtfrPpDwS95VD9SgwHzuqdBcifKEPKbdfBa/ This is just an idea. real thing needs better style.
