Profiling lists of steps to reach a form from the initial URL #222

Making a separate issue for this thread.

Bountysource's reset flow's note makes me think this should maybe stick the the realm of notes for now, possibly using a consistent localizable format (#194) like Click "$1".

stuartpb commented 7 years ago

Or... have it be a list of opening.steps, and allow description as a type of step, alternative to click.what, to describe actions that are more elaborate than clicking.

Of course, this doesn't strictly play well with form, especially when these steps describe a multi-step form.

Putting this on future because it's not really blocking anything that hard and requires a lot of thought to get right

I think click: button and description: Gear in upper-right corner or label: Reset Password are fine. In the thread from the OP, I was describing not wanting to step on the toes of any HTML attributes, but the latest thinking in #126 is that any actual element attributes would go under an element object, and so it's fine to collide with that namespace in a high-level fashion.

Actually, I'm thinking about bringing back steps, but only as an alternative to form, for when accessing and filling out the form is more complicated than a single form. In other words, this would be a more flexible alternative to before.form and after.form - and one that could accommodate discovery actions.

Also, steps would make a lot of sense, a la #120, as a first-class structure under password.reset.randomization. Like, really... I'm thinking about coming back around on #120 for v0.2.0, just making it a bit less magic-y (ie. having it so there are always steps that describe which mechanism the site uses).

Per opws/opws-schemata#1 killing notes, the list of prose descriptions for step-by-step directions to achieve a task described here is being introduced in opws/opws-schemata#5.

The idea of representing these steps in a more structured fashion is being considered in opws/opws-schemata#8. Per #308, further discussion around these concepts should be added as comments on existing issues, or filed as new issues, on the issue tracker for opws-schemata.
