UX: how do I get the data? #501

Closed Frijol closed 5 years ago

From the overview page of a dataset, it's not obvious what to do to access the data. "Body" feels like an ambiguous term.

Suggested fix:

Ideally, there would be a "get data" button somewhere obvious like:

And if you clicked on it, it would:

  1. Check if you had the QRI app
  2. Prompt you to install it if you don't have it
  3. Open the app to the dataset page
  4. Add the dataset to your datasets in the app
  5. Maybe even download?

Short of that, it might instead:

It might also be useful to rename the "Body" tab (and possibly other tabs as well?) to be more descriptive. Alt text on tab names might be another useful clarifying feature.

yes! for app.qri.io we should definitely have this!

Proposed change for right now: a banner that lives above every page that has a button to download the qri desktop app & describes how to get the data w/ link to tutorial
