I just uploaded a new feature: The “What do I do now” list at the top of the pages.
I think one of the more difficult things about PowrHouse is figuring out what the next step is (”OK I logged in, where are the chores?” or “How do I assign the chores to people?”). I think that’s because it’s a different workflow than people are used to. Most web apps have you logging in every few days to make changes or talk to people or set things up. PowrHouse was built around the idea of “set it and forget it”; after logging in and doing the initial work (setting up your household, housemates, and chores), you should never have to log in again (unless someone moves in or out, or you decide you want a new chore, or something like that). I think it makes things much more convenient and easy, but it’s probably unnatural for a lot of people.
That’s why I added the “Now what do I do” notice. It breaks things into four easy steps, with the fourth being assurance that you’re “done”, and that PowrHouse will do the rest. I think it makes the whole process a lot clearer. I’d like to hear what other people think though; the process makes perfect sense to me (as it should), but I want to know if the notice helps other people. So please give me some feedback.
this feature will reinvigorate, renovate, reincorporate, and reinstate the greatness of the internets.
