Webmaker for Android - Detailed Presentation

[umesh agarwal]

Hello Makers,

I hope you all are doing great!

Recently Mozilla launched its new "Webmaker for Android App".

You can download the app here - mzl.la/webmaker

The Webmaker is a tool to help smartphone users of any skill level read,
write and participate on the Web. The app makes creating original content
in your local language simple — you can drag, drop and personalize photos,
text and more to build unique projects like interactive scrapbooks, comic
strips, games and memes. While Webmaker is designed first and foremost to
be fun and easy-to-use, we’ve already seen the community leverage it in
very practical ways as well. Teachers can build lesson plans for their
students, students can create class projects, and communities can launch a
platform for sharing local happenings. [Read More]

I am using it and found it very cool for learning and teaching.

As you know Maker Party 2015 is less than three weeks away! The party
starts on July 15 and runs to July 31. Each day, makers, mentors, and
learners across the world will celebrate making and teaching by running
events to create awesome things on the open Web.

So to help makers and mentors to teach and learn about "Webmaker for
Android App" I have created a detailed presentation.

Hi,
While signing up I came across a issue.
Actually my email I'd was already registered. So I opt to reset password.
To reset password, I need to give username. But people hardly remember
username instead it should be email I'd which everyone remember always.

What are your views on this? Accordingly I will file bug for this.

Thanks

Hi Rishav,

Even I faced the same problem. Better file a bug to add an email Id option
with username.

[Andrew Sliwinski]

Absolutely! Thanks for the note Kumar. You can file bugs on Github at:

Thanks!

Christopher De Cairos suggested (see comment on issue) that issue should be
filed here -
https <https://github.com/mozilla/id.webmaker.org>://
<https://github.com/mozilla/id.webmaker.org>github.com
<https://github.com/mozilla/id.webmaker.org>/
<https://github.com/mozilla/id.webmaker.org>mozilla
<https://github.com/mozilla/id.webmaker.org>/
<https://github.com/mozilla/id.webmaker.org>id.webmaker.org
<https://github.com/mozilla/id.webmaker.org>

I think Christopher is logically right as user authentication is done here.

Seems this issue is already in discussion

Hi,

I faced the same issue while logging in and found the solution. Generally
we used to use persona to login into webmaker account where we never
concentrated much on setting up the user name and password.So even though
you remember your username your password doesnt work because you never set
it before. So login into webmaker account and note your username and then
click on forgot password on webmaker app and set up with your password from
the link you get into the mail. Try to login again with the new password.It
works!

Cheers,

Yeah, that's is one of the solution. Thanks for that.
But UX wise it's not. User won't prefer to do this . Solution should be
simple and at one click.
What about user who never used webmaker or don't know about this type of
solution.
As this app is also in play store now , we should find a solution where
users don't have to take much pain.

Cheers

Agreed! Thanks for pointing this out.




New users won’t be exposed to this either here or through webmaker.org, but for existing users and even staff this certainly is far from an ideal flow. I think we’ll be able to get this handled in the next release (next few weeks). Many thanks!
