Wp-calypso: Customer Home: Improve Mobile Download Card

Created on 15 Jan 2020  路  6Comments  路  Source: Automattic/wp-calypso

When visiting WordPress.com/home, the "Go Mobile" card should be improved in two ways:

  1. Instead of linking to the app store, we should instead provide the option to SMS or email a link when the user is visiting on a desktop device. (We have examples on https://wordpress.com/me/get-apps )
  2. Placement of the "Go Mobile" should have much higher priority placement when viewed in smaller viewports. For example folks should see this on their phone, without needing to scroll.

For folks taking this, please also be aware of p3btAN-1c0-p2 which we may need to help with

Additional improvement suggestion - on mobile web, if we can detect the user's OS, display the correct store button rather than display both buttons.

Oh gotcha, yes I think that should be possible @megsfulton. We can do a bit of sniffing with the user agent string. For desktop clients I assume displaying both would be acceptable?

Testing the flows it looks like the SMS route has a download link, but the email provides both a download link and a magic login link. I might focus on email first, especially with the work that needs to be done in p3btAN-1c0-p2

I might need to split out a few janitorials to tidy some of the request methods here

@mmtr you're welcome to take the next part, which is adding another email button to the Go Mobile card, otherwise I can circle back.

Yep, that's great.
