Description
At the moment the homepage will do the following things:
- give you a little bit of info about the docs.plus project
- give you the option to open a blank document or a named document
- give you the option to login
- If you are logged in, select a document you've contributed to in the past
My proposal is that instead of having a homepage, when the user goes to the URL docs.plus they should just be shown a new, blank document with a random URL. To see an example of this UX, take a look at https://docs.new, which opens a new blank google doc.
I think this is a good idea for a few reasons:
- it will give the user immediate experience of the product without having to explain it, they don't have to make a decision if they want to try it out
- the basic features of the product are intuitive, we can just show it (it's a notepad), and then they can just get started immediately
- all of the key features (new doc, open doc, login) will be accessible from the document view anyway
- we don't have to design and maintain a homepage
If in the future we want to have an enterprise product then we can have a homepage with features and pricing, but right now this seems much easier, better and less work!
