WidgetApp What's New Challenge

The main body of the test is in the widgetApp markdown file. The ReadMe will serve for the discussion and meta-content.

To start off with, I have decided to present all 3 sections in the same What's New page. This is for brevity and simplicity, and could be used for internal content review. Each Header2 section would be split into the appropriate Guide. The intro section could be removed or used as a landing page and link to each of the others, depending how the docs are structured overall.

I wasn't sure how much liberty to take about making decisions around hypothetical company terminology. For example, this sentence uses plain language similar to the notes section:

This feature is optional and specifically approved per user group.

You could capitalise, assuming that User Groups are a specific admin feature of the backend. Or you could say user_groups if they are some datastructure which supports user IDs within a team or org. I figured it wasn't necessarily hugely important which of these I went with, but there were a few choices similar to this

I also did not go into technical detail for a few reasons. I assumed that this was an overview, and I lacked the specific systems to draw examples from. Any bits I would throw together, such as code blocks with fairly generic API calls, would be in the realm of assumed knowledge for the readers of the relevant sections. If I was really in this company I would find some snippets to use, and do things like link to the relevant APIary or equivalent for the new system.

And, of course, I would expect to do at least one re-draft of this after it's had another set of eyes on it.

What Went Where?

User

  • This had relativly little detail but focused on the experiential changes of the streaming frontend
  • I would seek out more information about the actual differences here - I wouldn't go ahead and publish what I've got, I'd speak to the SME for this to get something more. Or to have the discussion resolve that anything further is basically a marketing team task at that point.

Admin

  • Pretty much all of the changes were worth mentioning here, but modified to full sentence explanations while preserving the technical terminology
  • There was a generally less rewording from the notes, as Admin Users would understand SME terminology and want fairly to-the-point information

API

  • Basically a distilled version of the Admin section with just the parts that are relevant for third parties.
  • Even closer to the notes in wording as I would expect that the majority of API users would not be looking for a text-heavy description. I'm assuming this is only really going to get a glance before they click through to the specs and API docs themselves.
