Blog Publish Options
Analysis
- The problem with the old flow is that the user can't tell that the flow is until he is experimenting with it
- if the user made a mistake and publish his article, he can't undone that action - he can just to "hidden" the post
- The proposed interface lets the user modify all the options (status, visibility, schedule) without constrains.
- He is able to see all the options and decide what is best for him.
- The result depends on semantic priorities:
- Default: Published; Public; Now = Published
- Published + Private = Private
- Published + Scheduled = Scheduled
- supposed to be Published, but what if the user lets published default, and wants "published" at a certain date
- Unpublished + Public = Unpublished
- Unpublished + Private = Private { (if the user publish it, he will become Published + Private)}
- Unpublished + Scheduled = Scheduled {+ Publish (after the deadline)}
- Private + Scheduled = Private
