Remove photos from TDS recommendations

[mokolodi1]

I think we should remove the photos from the TDS recommendations. I think it's cool you can have photos, but I don't think they add much, and they end up crowding up limited space on my phone.

If I remember correctly, we added it because the cards chatfuel sent to the users was confusing, for ie :
if you are entitled to 4 TDS, you'll recieve 4 different messages, with a blanck image (such an ugly render) attached to 3 links (yup I just described a chatfuel card xD ) and you can't quite discern between the 4 different cards.. adding images was the simplest way we could solve these problems.. maybe if we could control the size of the card, this won't be an issue (i'm referring to the issue of lines crowding up limited space on mobile) ? Can we do that? 🤔

Plus, we have an open issue about limiting recommended TDS to the best, #28 ie : if entitled to both Passeport Talent & Salarié Travailleur temporaire, send them only the 'Passeport talent' card etc. If we keep recommended TDS to the minimum, space won't be so crowded? @paolagermangarcia what's your input about this ?

[mokolodi1]

I'd quite like to use the gallery view that you can see in the beta, and that works beautifully without photos.

[abdel-elbel]

agreed, the render of the gallery is so smooth ! 😍

yeeeeet, I believe that adding pictures can be +. Can you add the same pictures to the gallery and test it in the beta @mokolodi1 ?

[paolagermangarcia]

I agree with the pictures, it is way more visual and since we want to make "visa paperwork sexy again" we could spice up things by adding images. A lot of chatbot do it and it works. However, I must say that the quality of the pictures should be better ;)

[abdel-elbel]

ya totally agree, I don't understand why our pixels gets 'pixellised' by chatfuel ^^' @paolagermangarcia , want me to see if I can enhance the pictures (like what I did for the logo) ?

This morning I went to see what other bots do to get inspired for our issue #32, and found this gallery : meet Lisa, the love bot, sexy isn't it? 🍯

[paolagermangarcia]

Yeah, I really like it! You can also check out Citron, Jam or Elly and friends

[mokolodi1]

I'm down to have pictures if they're better quality! Send them to me via slack when you're done enhancing @abdel-elbel and I'll add them back.

Where did you get them anyways @paolagermangarcia? Do we need to cite a source?

[paolagermangarcia]

Nope, it was a free icons site. We should re do them. @abdel-elbel could you be in charge of doing this? :)

[abdel-elbel]

ya, gladly ! the only problem is I don't have photoshop on my office computer. I'll try to go around the problem, and see what I can do But, don't worry, it will be ready by tonight. For the moment, @mokolodi1 , can you add the one we already have, and I'll replace them directly in Chatfuel ? It will give us an idea of what it'll look like.. my work will just enhance the quality of the pics ^^

[mokolodi1]

@paolagermangarcia do you happen to have the images you downloaded to your computer still lying around? That'd be easier to do than @abdel-elbel enhancing them.

Also @abdel-elbel: these will be served from our website as static content actually given we're not using the TDS blocks on Chatfuel anymore. (That's how I got the gallery with the fabulous buttons working.)

[abdel-elbel]

@mokolodi1 don't worry, @paolagermangarcia already gave me everything I need to enhance the pics @mokolodi1 Ahh ! Cool ! I didn't know Chatfuel couldn't do that :D

Ok, I'll put the enhanced pics in the MVA GDrive and send you the rep link. ;)

[mokolodi1]

Fabulous.

[abdel-elbel]

Done. Here's the link https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2h_bLgVH9WFU1VpMlVwdmlPX0E

There is two pics for PT, pick the one you like (PT_2 is different than the older version)

[abdel-elbel]

@mokolodi1 can you add the pics to the gallery and try to give it a sexy look? We need to add this message too, just above the gallery : "Merci pour toutes ces informations !" "Selon les informations que tu m'as donné, voici le(s) titre(s) de séjour le(s) plus adapté(s) à ta situation, fais défiler ⬅👆➡ : "

[paolagermangarcia]

I'd say for the message: "Merci pour ces informations !" "Selon les informations que tu m'as donné, voici le(s) titre(s) de séjour le(s) plus adapté(s) à ta situation. Pour en savoir plus, fais défiler ⬅👆➡ les cartes ci-dessous : "
