Developer Hub

The developer hub needs a huge overhaul. Right now, it talks mostly about XUL add-ons and mentions the Add-on SDK a bit. It needs to support way more than that:

  • Desktop XUL Add-ons
  • Desktop SDK Add-ons
    • Python SDK
    • Builder
  • Mobile SDK Add-ons (Python SDK)
  • Mobile XUL Add-ons (Deprecated)
  • Apps
    • Including the Apps builder and various other tools
  • Light Themes (aka Personas)
  • Full Themes
  • Dictionaries
  • Language Packs
  • Search Tools

How do you cram all of that info one page? I started working on some basic (really, really basic!) mockups. The idea is that you’d mouseover the things you can do with add-ons or apps, and it would modify the picture in the center to show what it would look like.

It’s a work in progress, and I’m not sure if it’s even the direction we’ll end up going. However, we need an easy to way to explain to people the differences between Add-ons and Apps.

Each type of thing (I don’t have a better word for add-ons, apps, search tools, etc) will have three sections:

  • Inspire (Convincing people to make it, and showing what can be done)
  • Inform (Documentation)
  • Involve (Fancy word for “submit your app/add-on”)

I’ll post updates when I have them.

Not a big update, however I finished the add-on video promo. It’s live on the staging site.

New Add-ons Video Promo

Every few seconds, his eyes and hand move.

We needed a March Rock Your Firefox banner, so I made something quick. Real quick, so no judging!

 

New Promo Module

The current “New to Add-ons” promo module is fine, however it only shows three add-ons. The video, which was much more descriptive, is hidden behind a tiny button called “Learn More”, which I suspect nobody has actually clicked.

So, I want to bring the video to the main promo module. Here’s the mockup of what that would look like:

I want some subtle movements, like the mouse hand moving and his eyes blinking. Nothing too abrasive; just every few seconds.
