Hello, I was talking to Steve yesterday and he updated those on chat with my progress on the development of the Freenet Security Setup.
It was brought to his attention and the he shared it with me the possibility for changing the design so only the security options that the potential user can choose are shown instead of all of them. The options that the potential user can choose are determined by two simple questions that the user answers before seeing the options of the potential levels of security. So, I looked into this and found out that it is thought about being a better user experience if the user is asked simpler questions and then brought to the security setup. Therefore, I modified the design and am now showing the mailing-list for comments, feedback, and approval. This time, I made quick mock-ups that get the idea across as it was brought to my attention that in the past others have provided shiny designs, but not development. That made me feel sad and I decided I am going to work on the interaction design and development more than the visual aspects form now on and do as much as I can and know how to do. The mockups and descriptions of what is happening are as follows: This is a mockups of the structure of the security setup when it loads: http://cl.ly/image/0O0d0H3Z2C39 I was thinking about changing the questions to ' I know someone who runs Freenet ' and ' I use full-disk encryption ' to make it more clear that checking / ticking the checkboxes answers the questions. What do you think? Also, the ' question-mark icon ' in the lower-right corner of the above mockup provides the user some assistance if they are confused by the questions. On hover of that question-mark a tooltip appears explaining that answering these questions allow for the appropriate security options to be displayed and clicking goes straight to all the security options. If the user leaves both checkboxes unchecked, as far as my understand goes, they can only have Low Security so that is all that is offered to them: http://cl.ly/image/2p2r0I0Q191I If the user checks one of the boxes, they get more options to choose from: http://cl.ly/image/3E23290N241R If the user checks both boxes, they are presented with all the options: http://cl.ly/image/1f1O0W3N333H And, lastly, upon checking or selecting one of the security options, in this case ' Low Security ', input-fields appear underneath for the users to entre their security preferences: http://cl.ly/image/3J2h0n081732 I appreciate all and any feedback and comments so feel free to share your thoughts. Best Regards, Irfan Mir.
