Scratch-www: display notification after sharing, including special text for first time sharing

[benjiwheeler]

On current production site, first time sharing shows notification text: "Congratulations on sharing your project! Other people can now try it out, give comments, and remix it." Subsequent project shares then show "Your project is now shared."

We should replicate a similar experience in 3.0.

This presents a complication, though: currently, shared status is updated for the project via a simple project metadata PUT to an API endpoint. API doesn't do any complex querying to see if the share is the user's first share ever.

There are a few ways we could address this:

1. change the project info updating endpoint to do complex querying if the project is set to be shared
2. create a different, sharing-only endpoint that does the logic from # 1
3. Skip the complex logic entirely and instead use another property of the user as a basis for which message we show, such as whether or not they are a scratcher

I vote for # 3!

@benjiwheeler - Thanks for logging this issue!

There is a lot more that we can do to create a better share experience! We have some addtional ideas for both the first share experience but also more generally improve the share flow to prompt adding a title and project information if that information is missing.

This work will also intersect with a larger initiative of improving the overall early experiences (onboarding) with Scratch. There are a few things in 2.0, like New User (which needs a new name) becoming a Scratch, but it's rather obscured. Totally agree, we can make these first time experiences more celebratory and exciting!

Likely before we get to this particular work in this issue, we have a lot to do on the very first touch point with first time users, the sign up flow.

just gonna say this here

the new scratchers share message is so encouraging for some reason, i would love if it showed more often lol

Thanks @carljbowman! Yeah, that sums up where we are with design for now - hoping for a holistically thoughtful experience for new scratchers! I would be OK with showing a "Congratulations" message either the first project or the first few projects until they become a scratcher. Can draw up

For now (release), we can keep the same simple visual styling. @benjiwheeler

Especially if this is technically easier to implement, I would say go for #3! Seems like it wouldn't hurt to keep the encouraging messaging around a little longer :)
