I made a little tweak yesterday that should help people “set-it-and-forget-it” even faster. Thanks a bunch to Janine C. for the suggestion.
Before, after saving a new chore, you were sent back to the “My Household” page. Now, if you click “Save and add another,” you get a new blank “Add Chore” form.
I think the most common use case for the “Add Chore” page comes right after signing up, when the user first sets up all of his or her chores. In this case, assuming the user is on the “My Household” page, the process was as follows:
- Click “Add a chore”.
- Fill in the information.
- Click “Save chore”.
- If there are more chores to add, start back at Step 1.
This new button allows you to jump over Step 1, cutting 25% of the steps out of the process.
It’s nothing groundbreaking, but one of my goals with PowrHouse is to make the user spend as little time on the website as possible, and I think this furthers that goal.
