Freecodecamp: Claiming certification after certificate completion

Created on 17 Apr 2020  路  2Comments  路  Source: freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp

Some users seem to be confused after completing projects for the first certification on how they could receive their certification.

A redirect or a flash message notifying users after finishing the required projects to complete a certificate could be helpful.

Why redirect and not use the modal? The primary reason we have had this weird way of claiming the cert from the settings page was because:

  1. Learn was deployed at learn.fcc.domain
  2. The API could work on www.fcc.domain
  3. The user profile was at www.fcc.domain/<username>

All these legacy limitations are gone.

There is no need for us to redirect them to the settings. All the functionality is right there in the challenge page.

I think that's a great idea. When I earned my first certification for the updated curriculum, it wasn't clear how I was supposed to claim it.
