An adoption funnel may be a useful tool for your team too.

Or maybe you have your own process already. Share it below!

At Firebase we used an adoption funnel and activity map to plan event activities, mapping each action to a user stage - from Awareness to Love. It explained (to leadership) why we were at so many events (>150 per year at peak) and what success looked like.

Sorry Molly, but associating a color with a month upsets 40% of the population.

Yup. He went hard on the alignment of in-game actions vs out-of-game circumstances here, and it's probably my favorite angle across all the Awaken Online books.

I also love all the redemption angles (Fin at the end of Hellion, Vanessa and Booker here), as "nobody" is a villain in their own mind 😃

Happy digs into how real-life struggles of the players shape their in-game choices. Great characters, smart pacing - though power levels climb fast. Still: excellent setup for when all storylines converge, which can't be far off.

This third separate storyline in the Awaken Online universe (after Jason’s and Fin’s arcs), follows Dom - a college athlete diagnosed with terminal cancer who’s offered access to Awaken Online as therapy.

The character work is rich here, both for Dom and others.

The button stays there. You can click it again, and it shows the same popin then .

It submits again, and again, and again... :-)
Which is pretty uncommon for a hollow thumb-up image, in my experience at least.

Yeah. It could be.
I don't mind the presence of that log/snackbar so much, as I find it silly that the thumb state doesn't change.

The attack vector is what I described in the blog. It's one that I'd never seen in the wild before the Arc news came out, and I doubt that the Firestore rules docs were updated since then. :-(

I recall there being an GRPC/Protobuf IDL to Firestore rules compiler tool, but couldn't find it this week. That would allow for quite a bit of complex structure, although I'm not sure if/how it'd handle what state transitions are valid.

Oh yeah, they always end up blending into each other for me too.

It's just that generating authorization rules is always gonna be hard, so I was focusing on schema verification rules (which are the ones I "forget" to do about 50%* of the time).

* Honestly: more like 80% of the time
