This week we had a great team meeting in Warsaw where we discussed statuses, goals, and plans for platformOS development, QA, project management, documentation and UX.

This status report includes a short summary of what we’ve discussed about documentation and UX, along with the usual list of tasks we’re working on.

Documentation

On our team meeting, we discussed some main areas to focus on next with our documentation besides providing the most helpful content and user experience:

• How documentation can contribute to brand awareness (design, SEO)
• What content we’d like to focus on in the next phase (onboarding, best practices, release notes)
• Analytics (site analytics, feedback block statistics)
  
  

Content production

We’re happy to see that you’ve started using our GitHub issue queue and sending pull request with your edits. Thank you very much for your contributions!

• UPDATED Liquid Filters
  - Fixed lstrip, rstrip and strip presentation, commented out escape_once, which isn't working correctly. We’re investigating why some filters are not working correctly, we suspect an issue with Markdown.
• IN PROGRESS review of Liquid Filters descriptions
• IN PROGRESS QA and Testing Best Practices part 4: Performance Testing article
• PLANNED Update Stripe integration tutorial for new Payment module
• PLANNED Liquid "capture" tag should mention html stripping behavior
• PLANNED Extend Liquid whitespace control docs
  
  

Design

• IN REVIEW HTML/CSS for the new design

UX

Related to user experience, we talked about workflows and usability research. We also had several conversations which were meant to gather information on how to improve our product.

Yesterday in Town Hall #50, Artur and Kacper introduced to you the phase 1 version of the Module Marketplace, including the Module Marketplace, the merchant account, the module creation process and the statements.

• IN PROGRESS Module Marketplace: As you can see in the TownHall presentation the module marketplace is continuously evolving. We will focus next on the merchant account screen updates and the statement screens. Share your feedback with us so we can include those items into the planning process!
• IN PROGRESS platformOS PP Design Thinking materials: working on the site redesign goals

Let us know what you think about the Module Marketplace and the related features on Slack or in email! Thank you!
