Dogfooding Notes

[10thfloor]

Capturing some initial notes on the current UX:

• Landing page lets you mint without logging in

  • After minting is finished, the button below indicates purchase, which then prompts for a login. This can be confusing because its not clear why a password was required to access the minting page (The button on the password prompt says "Log In", but doesn't actually log you into your wallet).
  • Suggestion: users should be prompted to log into the wallet first?

• Unclear how to add funds to wallet

  • There is no way to access the "funding" page in the dev-wallet from the UI. User has to log out and log back in again. The funding page is also hidden behind "manage". Ultimately this is confusing.

• Insufficent finds error is too small. It's not clear there is a problem. The dev-wallet closes and you're left wondering. This should be a modal, with instructions about how to add funds to the wallet?

• After purchasing you're immediately prompted to list your items. This feels awkward. Should redirect user to their profile after purchase, with the purchased item highlighted in some way.

• On testnet, after a user logs in using their wallet, the top banner reads "Log in to the Service Account and initialize it to get started." but this is impossible. More confusing messaging around the mock-login to the admin/minting page.

• The title of the "Store" page says "Marketplace". This is confusing.

• Clicking "purchase" if you're not logged in, bring up the login dialog, you log in, but have to click purchase again to complete the purchase.

adding some more notes from observations:

• If minting fails, there is no error message. it seems like a glitch in the UI and could be handled better
• The minting page is not linked to from the navigation. It is easy to get lost and never find that page again
