Perhaps this footer also needs adjustments, once standalone apps are finished (it currently links to Github releases page):
Agreed. But don't fully remove Decrediton (it still may be a better option for some users), just make the standalone app a more visible and recommended option.
Currently it is reversed: first you get the 3 big buttons to donwload Decrediton, then 1 big button for Umbrel, than the "alternative" download link "Click here to download the standalone DCRDEX application instead".
Thinking more about onboarding flows (https://github.com/decred/dcrdex/issues/2563) I think the issue here is "choices are hard" and the fix is to guide through the choices and explain them.
Issues I see with the downloads block:
To address these the downloads.html partial can be restructured as follows:
Show two big logical sections for the standalone app and Decrediton (separate them visually with boxes or something)
Standalone app section
Decrediton section
The other partials (intro
and get-started
) are good, except I'd tweak the 1. Intro
to point to the revised download sections instead of directly to GitHub.
After DEX standalone apps are available fully (eg. https://github.com/decred/dcrdex/pull/2333, https://github.com/decred/dcrdex/pull/2351) it makes sense to distribute those instead of Decrediton (like it currently does on this page):
