UX feedback from the online beta

[mitechie]

As a non-logged in user:

start modeling going to /new but there's a bit of a lack of context. should maybe have the search activated by default when you go this route from any "start modeling" button on a fresh canvas/etc.

from homepage, click store, click one of the suggested charms and you get two buttons. Add to demo/add to canvas. The add to demo should go away and just lead to the model.

I think we should ditch canvas and just use the word model throughout. You can add to the model. This brings up, if I add to an existing model, rather than "add to canvas" I think it should say "add to model xxxx" or something more specific.

deploy button hidden by cookie warning. I think we can/should try to at least move the x to the end by the deploy button so that you can remove it but best if we could move the deploy button above it when it's active. Anchor to XX px above the bottom of the page or above the cookie warning so it looks like the botton of the box was pushed up entirely. e.g. the canvas is stacked on the cookie warning vs under it.

When you first click deploy you get a big button "login to usso". I don't think "usso" is global enough. This page doesn't guide the user or have any steps/progress indications.

It tries to auto log me in? After sitting idle taking notes for a few seconds I see a new window popup and tell me I can close it.

I close it but nothing changed on the other page?

maybe we can show the cloud picker greyed out as well so that it's kind of a "login and you can pick your cloud and hit the big deploy button" to give it more context on what's going on and what's next. If you start as a non-logged in user from the homepage clicking on the big "start modeling" there's not enough context to understand this page at all for new users.

When I give the model a name the breadcrumb in the upper left should sync with that.

As I pick a cloud I can change it and there's a big heading "Public Cloud", huh? The only options are public clouds. Is this telling me anything? Do we need that?

move s/canvas/model here on this page
