Customized Setup for New Users

lemoness commented 9 years ago

We've been getting a lot of feedback from users who say that, while HabitRPG's blank-slate flexibility is an asset, it can lead to an extremely daunting set-up.

As a result, we want a system that prompts the new user, on their first website sign-in/account creation, to pick some things that they want to manage with HabitRPG and then generate default tasks based on what they picked, and display a list of recommended Guilds (possibly in the corner). These tasks could then be edited, deleted, kept... whatever the user chose.

We should probably have something in place that gives them only a maximum of 1 or 2 Dailies to avoid overwhelming them if they check many boxes.

Note that these tasks should appear BELOW the sample tasks used for the current tour. We're still iterating on and developing the tour, so we should try to keep these separate if we can for now. We'll be testing the effectiveness of different sample tasks over time once this feature is implemented.

Here's the current text!

When users join for the first time, a pop-up asks them:

Note that if the architecture for Recommending Guilds is more difficult, that can be postponed into a part 2.

I'd really prefer stag not be recommended to every new user who says they use habit for work On Apr 16, 2015 8:13 PM, "lemoness" notifications@github.com wrote:

Short-Term Accountability Guild tends to be used for personal tasks more than work tasks (lots of discussion of laundry, tidying, decluttering, general housework).

It also has a lot of its own specific terminology (poms, pom-trees/palm-trees, sparkle points, cone of shame, many of those often indicated with emoji rather than words). I was confused for a few days after I joined, and that was when I'd been a site admin for months. :) I wouldn't recommend it to new users in bulk.

Would we use the tour system to implement this?

lemoness commented 9 years ago

@deilann - No problem! Editing original post now.

Does anyone have a replacement Guild that might work as a recommendation for people who use HabitRPG for work?

@thehollidayinn - No, this would be separate, since the tour is still being updated and changed around.

Some of the necessary groundwork for this feature will be included in https://github.com/HabitRPG/habitrpg/issues/2301 (templates), so we should wait until that is complete before proceeding with implementation - but we can absolutely continue to discuss!

What is the status on this?

Alys commented 7 years ago

Still suggestion-discussion.

The issue referred to in Lemoness's most recent comment has been closed.

I think "Health + Wellness" could be broken down further into physical health+wellness vs emotional/mental/spiritual health+wellness.

Health + Wellness

HABIT: +/- Eat healthy/junk food DAILY: Floss TO-DO: Pick a specific time to go to bed every night

RECOMMENDED GUILDS: Newbies The Health Nuts https://habitrpg.com/#/options/groups/guilds/b422b8a5-8d66-4197-9f91-d4edb8610264

Recovery + Self-Care (Dailies from the BACE Method for Self-Care Challenge.)

HABIT: + Compliment yourself. DAILY: Body (e.g. excerise, hygiene, proper sleep, healthly meals, etc.) DAILY: Achievement (e.g. chores, work, personal projects, etc.) DAILY: Connect (e.g. see a friend, call someone, send a message, etc.) DAILY: Enjoy (something fun, relaxing, or enjoyable) TODO: Make a self care box (http://www.howtomakealife.com/2014/03/creating-self-care-box/) for a rainy day.

I think this should be closed with the redesign.
