For all you plugin authors, here’s an idea for one that would sell nicely for a relatively high price because the users who need it are in production with customers.
A PLUGIN FOR A SYSTEM FOR IN-PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENTS
This is standard stuff to promote new-feature awareness, adoption, and user engagement in SaaS products.
I am going to build one myself, but if there were a good plugin, I’d jump at it.
Requirements:
- Data type would be, for example, Announcement
- Things: Text, Image (for screenshots for product announcements)
- Multi-select for User roles who would get the announcements
- functionality for the timing of delivery if a user hasn’t logged in and has a ‘queue’ of these they are going to be shown
- you’d have to record whether a particular user had seen a particular announcement so maybe on the User type you’d have a list of announcements seen (hopefully wouldn’t get so big that it’s unwieldy).
- maybe include a nice RG that could be a reusable element to embed on a page the user could get to if they remembered seeing an announcement. Like a changelog or feature announcements page on a support site.
Maybe this can’t be a plugin. I’m not a plugin author, so I don’t know!
