Onboarding tutorial #18

Closed orblivion closed 1 year ago

orblivion commented 1 year ago

This was recommended by a friend who wasn't quite sure what to do when he tried it.

Maybe have a dialog appear when you first start saying "search for location and bookmark" or have an overlay that points at the search button. Then, point at bookmark after you have the results. 1) search 2) add bookmark Making it numbered makes it more clear that it's a process.

Mention that the first thing you have to do is download, and mention that the regions are defined by a file on the map data server, so it's going to ask for download powerbox permissions right away.

Another thought - click "Ok" or a smaller "Skip Tutorial" button. Anybody who's creating a lot of grains will go crazy with the stupid tutorial.

Another onboarding element would be warning people that they're about to see a Powerbox request. Right now it pops up as the first thing you see, and it's a little mysterious if you don't know what it's for.

Just released! Interactive for map-downloader user. Simpler for bookmark editors and readonly.
