Hello Sync-devs,
I'm proposing two new user stories for New Sync MVP, based on recent user
research results:
=== TWO NEW STORIES ===
* As a user, I want optionally to specify which types of data will be synced
before I have to create a Firefox Account and log in to my browser. During this
process, I want to be able to get more information about what each type of data
is and what it means for me in terms of browser functionality, potential
bandwidth usage, and what happens to that data after I have logged out of my
browser.
a) I personally think this is useful, but when such an idea was
discussed for Old Sync we worried about putting to much information in
front of the user and increasing sign-up friction.
b) Any reasonable UX design should not have a big engineering overhead
-- actual Android UI, popups, sliders/carousels/accordions, links to web
pages, etc. I would anticipate hours/days of engineering time.
* As a user, I want to be able to modify my Sync data settings in my browser at
any time after I have set up Sync and am logged into my Firefox Account.
a) We support this in Old Sync, but we think it's very infrequently
used. In fact, it's been a source of bugs, since browser bugs and
client races have sometimes corrupted the settings, resulting in
impenetrable results. We're already planning to surface this more
prominently; question is, is it an MVP story?
b) I see this as part of the devices API. So far, we haven't specced
that at all, so we can't say much about how long it will take to build.
I would expect weeks.
Questions:
1) Are these both acceptable?
2) Would these add significantly to our engineering effort? Are they worth the
effort involved?
Testing also suggests that we give users a clear set of choices about what to do with their data
when they sign out, such as "delete bookmarks" and "forget passwords", etc. I
think for now -- as long as we clearly explain what happens to the data on sign out -- we can put
this off until a later release, but if you disagree strongly please say so.
I see this as being the other side of "clear local data". Since we have
no clear story around what "clear local data" means in a connected, New
Synced world, this can't be part of any MVP.
Best,
Nick
