| 7 … | +stories and videos that help people learn about our technology and community. | ||

| 9 … | +creating these onboarding stories and videos. Rough ideas can be stored here | ||
| 10 … | +to be worked together into outlines, which are polished into stories and | ||
| 11 … | +ultimately published to the greater world. | ||

| 1 … | +# Summary | |
| 2 … | + | |
| 3 … | +This is a rough scrap for us to start to condense our ideas around Patchwork | |
| 4 … | +Onboarding. What does it look like? (Animations, a Simple Getting Started | |
| 5 … | +Screen? Modal Prompts?) What should it include? We can reconfigure this as our | |
| 6 … | +ideas expand and refine themselves. | |
| 7 … | + | |
| 8 … | +# Getting Started Page | |
| 9 … | + | |
| 10 … | +The following is quoted from @Cinnamon's post "Patchwork user experience | |
| 11 … | +improvement brainstorm list" found at: | |
| 12 … | +%ORS73asFbxUC4Ck/kn95zPRar9NXxac676Vpn86ZVwQ=.sha256 | |

| 14 … | +> *Getting started page* - Consider starting with a splash screen or help | |
| 15 … | +> screenwith a few illustrated and digestible points like... Welcome! Things | |
| 16 … | +> work a bit differently here. 1. Think of this as "offline facebook that syncs | |
| 17 … | +> directly between friends". There are no central servers or people in charge- | |
| 18 … | +> everything is up to you. 2. There are "Pub" servers that help messages sync, | |
| 19 … | +> but they don't have power over you and they're optional. If you're on the | |
| 20 … | +> same wifi as someone, you will sync directly with them. 3. Each device gets | |
| 21 … | +> its own account, but you can link the accounts together so they look like one | |
| 22 … | +> person. 4. The first time you connect, it's gonna download a bunch of stuff | |
| 23 … | +> so you can be offline. Just give it a minute and don't be surprised. | |
| 24 … | + | |
| 25 … | +# Other Ideas | |
| 26 … | + | |
| 27 … | +- It could be helpful to point out the literal buttons in Patchwork, how to | |
| 28 … | + join a pub and why, how to see your public feed, a list of channels, your | |
| 29 … | + private messages etc. | |
| 30 … | +- Glossary: Perhaps a page accessed through the More button that defines terms | |
| 31 … | + _for_ Patchwork. How does this client approach Channels, Likes, Pubs, etc. | |
| 32 … | + and a Markdown style guide (how to publish a picture, for example) | |
| 33 … | +- Opening animation or video: Instead of a getting started page, a short video | |
| 34 … | + that plays that similarly details the bare essentials for geteting started | |
| 35 … | + within Patchwork. | |
