Open issues/risks

  • Is App Management branded more by Apps or more by Identity?
  • What is the threshold of max apps installed before the performance of the dashboard degrades? Per platform?
  • What metrics do we want to measure?
  • What is the plan for acquiring the AppMan App?
    • A: It will be in the Mozilla Marketplace.
  • Are there other forms of discovery of this AppMan?
  • Will it's design and funcationality conflict with the design of the new new tab in FF desktop?
  • What is the apps management approach for Android?
    • A:what can we do on android, 1:
   - we could try to offer centralized management for ALL android apps, native or otherwise
   - it would be like the many launchers offered on Google Play
    • what we can do android, 2:
   - build clean management silo only for Mozilla Apps
  • Need UX for the log in flow
  • Can users reach App Man on non-FF browsers as a web page? See icloud.com
  • Need the copy for the privacy policy.
  • Missing UX flow for privacy policy opt-in
  • where will the desktop to App Man be hosted? A: Tentively, Thunder is open to hosting it with persona.org
  • who is building it? A: Nick, the intern, is building it. Bill owns making this happen.

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

This specification describes the AppMan app, an HTML5-based app for managing a Mozilla Apps user's apps across all marketplaces and devices.

Goals:

  • Give users a consistent experience of manging their Apps across all their devices and across all the App stores and self-publishers they deal with.
  • Deliver the management experience in a manner that integrates with each device.
  • App Man is for Android and Desktop

2. Users & use cases

  • An Android Mozilla Apps user wants to see all his acquired apps in one place.
  • A Desktop Mozilla Apps user wants to see all his acquired apps in one place.
  • An Android Mozilla Apps user wants to natively install an acquired app on their device.
  • A Desktop Mozilla Apps user wants to natively install an acquired app on their desktop.

3. Dependencies

  • AITC integration with Identity
  • Moz Apps API integration

4. Requirements

  • Display a list of all apps a user has downloaded/purchased for all devices and platforms (regardless of platform availability)
  • Offer the ability to install an app that is not installed on the device the user is currently on
  • Works offline

Non-goals

  • Require the management experience be mitigated through a browser.
  • App management for B2G

Stage 2: Design

5. Functional specification

Login screen - at URL <put in url here>

    • Privacy Policy opt-in (first time user)
    • Log into AITC

Logged in user List view of Apps:

  • Apps will be listed in a form factor fitting manner.
  • For each app, the following information should be shown: - app icon - app name ** developer name
    • installed inactive button OR install button
    • BUTTON STATES 1. App is installed on current device - show "installed", grayed out, inactive 2. App is not installed on current device, but has been downloaded on this or other device at some point in time - show "install", active button

6. User experience design

Stage 4: Development

9. Implementation

  • AppMan talks to mozApps API to get list of natively installed apps (requires whitelist)
  • AppMan talks to mozApps API to get list of acquired apps (backed by AitC in the background)
  • AppMan takes full advantage of AppCache to reduce server load (actually utility during offline is iffy)

Stage 5: Release
