Guide users on their first What Got Done entry

Opened this issue · 0 comments

At 4:00 in the video, upon seeing his first What Got Done edit page, DK says:

Right off the bat, having this blank slate is intimidating.

DK suggests guiding the user a bit more, like allowing them to enter projects and tasks instead of presenting them with a big blank textbox.

I like this idea. We could have different options for editing that are like:

  1. Guide you through creating tasks and projects
  2. Guide you through this week's tasks and future task goals
  3. (expert mode) Give you a blank slate

One other thing I've been slowly working on is inferring structure of your updates from your previous updates, so if I see that last week, you wrote your update like this:

# Foo project

* Added HTTPS
* Signed 5 new customers

# Bar project

* Set it on fire

I can give you the option to pre-populate your subsequent update like:

# Foo project

* 

# Bar project
