Hello all,
Apologies for not responding sooner, I've been busy; but, I am now ready to
give my thoughts ask some questions so that I can continue working on the
interactions for the security setup.

So, I believe connection speed and / or bandwidth can be detected with
Javascript. Would you like to do it that way or through the other
technology spoken of— I believe it was referred to as UPnP ?

Correct me if I am wrong. Once low-security is selected a dropdown of
data-store values will appear. I believe the best way to manage a list of
values from which to choose from is a <select> with each <option> inside it
being a data-store value.
Is this just for low-security or will a drop-down of data-store values be
under each level of security ?
It was mentioned that there be a text-field whose default / placeholder
value is the remaining disk space.
Should I develop a text-field or a drop-down ( mentioned above ) ?
Or a hybrid that would be a text-field that gets whatever option in the
dropdown that is chosen as its value.

"Encrypt data: Require a password to decrypt Freenet each time you start
it. Password: [   ] Confirm: [   ]"
I like that this question is inspired by a well-established platform (
Android ). So is this going to be one of the questions asked prior to
giving security options?

Last question, now, I believe the experience / user-flow ( how
the wizard proceeds ) that has been agreed upon is this:

( I just want to make sure which one ).

Ask questions-->Way questions are answered result in a security level being
selected--> security options are shown underneath selected security level.

The first one was: security levels presented-->user selects one-->security
options are shown underneath selected security level.

Then, after that we had: Ask user questions->choose security option and
then present security options.

If the user-flow that I have suggest, the first one, is not what you have
agreed upon then please choose from one of the previous ones or write your
own so that I can understand what was agreed upon.

Thank you for reading and for your time.

I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for letting me work with
you all!

Best Regards,
Irfan Mir.
