When referring to something that’s not part of the Notify system, like a
spreadsheet or a paper letter or a security key we’ve found it’s helpful
to give people a visual representation of it. This commit does the same
for security keys.
At the moment if you’re invited to a live broadcast service you get the
training mode tour. This is misleading, and could make people think they
weren’t in danger of sending a real alert.
This commit adds a short, 2 step tour for users invited to a live
broadcast service.
The preview of the broadcast message, with the 2px thick black lines no
longer matched the style of the area labels, which have moved to just
having a tinted background.
This commit restyles the broadcast message preview (including the
exclamation mark icon) to use shading only to differentiate the message
from the rest of the page.
This should make the page fit together more cohesively, and feel less
busy.
We’ve had some feedback that relying only on luminosity and position to
differentiate between the ‘will get alert’ and ‘likely to get alert’
areas on the map might not be enough.
We don’t want to introduce another colour because:
- it will make the map look very busy
- not many other colours contrast with the map tiles as well as blue
- relying on colour only to communicate information is also bad for
accessibility
Instead we can make one of the lines a different style. I’ve gone for
dashed on the ‘likely’ line because it looks nice, and gives some
suggestion of a porous boundary.
Implementing this means using CSS border image, because a `dashed`
border (which we still have as a fallback) doesn’t render with
consistent dash sizes from browser to browser. We need consistency to
match the dashes that the map will be drawing (which use SVG not CSS
so don’t have the same problem).
Swaps out the old one (solid colour with lighter
grey) for one with the same colour as the text,
but no fill.
Also swaps out for an SVG for better scaling.
This commit refines which information we show on each page.
Specifically we’re
- adding some wording (‘at exactly the same time’) to try to communicate
the immediacy
- giving the ‘loud noises’ message it’s own screen to really draw
attention to it
- moving the ‘no phone numbers bit’ later in the journey, and
experimenting with explaining why that is, to make it clearer how it’s
different to a text message
We’ve shown the broadcast tour to a few users now. We’ve learned what
concepts about broadcasting are and aren’t getting through.
So what we’re emphasising here is:
- the thing that appears on the phone (the ‘emergency alert’) not the
technology (a ‘broadcast’)
- how it’s different to other channels of messaging, eg text
We’ve generally spent a lot more time on the content and illustrations
this time around, so overall it’s should be clearer and shorter.
This also expands the communication of training mode into the header,
so it’s visible on every page (we can add another one for ‘live’
services later on).
At the moment they will get a ‘technical difficulties’ error if they
try.
We probably want to do something around letting people self-approve
broadcasts in trial mode, but for now just telling them they can’t is a
better experience than ‘technical difficulties’ (and will probably be
close to what they should see on a live service as well).
This is an initial, prototype-quality attempt at introducing some kind
of tour for users new to broadcasting. A lot of the users we’re speaking
to don’t have a good concept of what broadcasting means, which is
causing usability problems down the line.
We did a similar thing in the early days of Notify to explain the
concept of message templates and personalisation.
This is borrowed from an earlier prototype, and is meant to be temporary
– something better than just plain text.
Text in generated content isn’t always announced by screen readers, so
we should definitely move away from that once we understand what text
will be shown on the phone and where it comes from.
International letters aren’t sent by first or second class post. In
keeping with the little touch of skeumorphism, let’s label them with the
commonly recognised marker of international mail instead.
Our usage for these browsers in the last month is down to 0.2% of all
users, or 14 individual users, according to Google Analytics.
These users also visit about half the number of pages per sessions,
suggesting that they’re not signed in.
