TMUI users should have an established blockstack ID #206

Open friedger opened 4 years ago

friedger commented 4 years ago

What is the problem you are seeing? Please describe. Apps that share data can't be tested by TMUI users because new usernames are only available ~1 hour after creation and tests are limited to 30 minutes.

How is this problem misaligned with goals of app mining? Sharing data is an important part of blockstack apps. All apps should have have the same opportunities to show their features.

What is the explicit recommendation you’re looking to propose? Setup a flow with predefined users that are already well established.

What is the dry run period (if any) Once implemented no dry run period is required.

Describe your long term considerations in proposing this change. Please include the ways you can predict this recommendation could go wrong and possible ways mitigate. This is also good in the long run :-)

Hey @friedger,

Apps that share data can't be tested by TMUI users because new usernames are only available ~1 hour after creation and tests are limited to 30 minutes.

Are you referring to multiplayer apps or collections? Any more info you can share on how apps are being impacted?

Setup a flow with predefined users that are already well established.

I think one of the benefits of TryMyUI using folks who don't have IDs is that it closer reflects the real world. The Blockstack auth and education piece is important for apps to continue to iterate on for their success. Skipping that whole part of the app experience would be a disservice to folks building on Blockstack.
