I've implemented a terrible version of this in https://github.com/sandstorm-io/blackrock/tree/mention-referral-program-on-account-settings-v0

Probably we shouldn't merge that, so I'm not turning it into a pull request, but at least now whoever picks this up (perhaps me? perhaps @neynah ?) knows what code to start changing. Note that this requires having a blackrock build runnable locally, which might be beyond what we've made easy for @neynah.

Anyway honestly what I want is a mockup of how this should look from @neynah and then I can probably make it look like that in 0-2h.

I guess I'm confused about the 2GB of storage since it says up to 30GB here? https://sandstorm.io/news/2015-12-18-referral-program

I'm assuming you also get unlimited grains with the mailing bonus so I've tweaked the text for both so that they match:

My suggestion for the referral program text is pretty soft, although I suggest we try and match the language we use elsewhere.

Also I'd say this fix is pretty high priority, thanks for doing this. :D

I can work on implementing this, but can I suggest instead that you emphasize "Get free space" like other services do to make users more likely to click things in here?

I won't get to this until ~tomorrow or Fri at this rate, so I'm OK with pausing a little bit for design revision. I'm also OK with you telling me this is what I should implement!

Answer 4 · 2016-02-11T01:46:22.000Z

Oh right. Seems reasonable to have the word free in there. I'm OK with this or something similar- up to you!. Full caps for "FREE" because we also have our "FREE" plan displayed this way.

Answer 5 · 2016-02-11T01:48:48.000Z

I propose we also add a section heading, like "Usage (based on current plan)" that says "Get free storage" or, if you're on a free plan "Get free storage & unlimited grains"

Answer 6 · 2016-02-11T01:56:16.000Z

I see. I think I'm OK with this for now. In the future we may want to highlight/style this section differently but I don't think that's currently necessary:

Yay! Thanks. I hope that feedback process was OK; I could probably have been clearer in what I wanted. The button styling and text styling works great for me.

Yeah it's fine. Happy to do quick iterations like that. :)

Revised text & layout for free accounts.
