Write a blog about plugins

Open oli-rose28 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

What Write a draft of a blog about plugins (creating and using plugins).

Why Not everyone knows about the Kit or about new versions of the Kit. Some users do not think that the Prototype Kit is for them , if they are not familiar with coding. This is an opinion we want to combat using blogs and other communication.

We've created plugins as a way to make prototyping in code easier.

There are 2 objectives:

  • not everyone knows about plugins and why they are useful
  • to promote creating plugins with our more experienced users

As a user, I want to be able to persuade my non-coding colleagues to use the Prototype Kit So that we can all be using the same tool.

As a user, I want to be able to share my components and styles with others, so that we can reuse features across government.

Moving to blocked after this comment back from the comms team:

Thank you for sharing this blog. As you know DSP is making some changes to how we communicate about our products. Amanda will be publishing a blog about this soon. With this in mind we would like to hold this blog until after that goes out.
