Adding a card to "Download to Drive"

Open kiki-lee opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Stashing this here until we're ready to add. @Jaqster would like more data before we merge.

We have received feedback that people don't know how to save projects other than sharing or uploading to GitHub. In part, this could be because the save button is touching the name field, so it looks like it's meant to save name changes: Screenshot 2023-12-07 at 12 04 19 PM


Also, the save button goes away when you're working in a tutorial: Screenshot 2023-12-07 at 12 10 42 PM


Or a GitHub repo: Screenshot 2023-12-07 at 12 09 14 PM


The clever educator/student will notice that there's a Download button, which seems like the natural place to go when looking to download your project...but when they click, they're faced with these options, none of which are "Download to Drive". Screenshot 2023-12-07 at 12 09 32 PM


Those of us who work here know that we could choose any of these to save our projects to drive, but there's no way for anyone else to know this is the case. My solution is to add a card for downloading to your machine. Screenshot 2023-12-07 at 12 03 34 PM

Yes, I'd like to do more customer development here. Let's gather evidence that this is a blocking issue.
Hypothesis could be:

  • Users don't know how to save program files onto their computers
  • Users want to, but can't save program files (while in a tutorial) onto their computers
  • Users want to, but can't save program files (while working in a GitHub repo) onto their computers

This UI goes across all our targets, so if we find this is an issue and come up with a solution, I could imagine applying this across all our code editors (maybe not Minecraft?)
