Background

We want quick reader input to guide Explore feed enhancements. Between Nov 24–30, 2025, show a lightweight, dismissible modal when a user clicks on the Explore tab. If they accept, open the survey in the device’s default browser (external). If they decline or complete, don’t show it again.

User Story

As a reader opening Explore, I want a simple, respectful invitation to give feedback so I can help improve the feed without being interrupted repeatedly.

Display Logic

• Trigger: User clicks explore tab from bottom nav or article overflow menu during the window Nov 24, 2025 until Nov 30, 2025.

• Frequency cap: show once per device

• Dismiss modal if: user taps “Take survey” or "No Thanks" OR the date is outside the window. Users can also dismiss by clicking outside of the modal (do not force answer)

• Works for logged-in and logged-out users.

Copy:

• Title: “Help us improve Explore”

• Body: “Please take a short survey about the Explore feed. Your feedback will help shape upcoming app improvements.”

• Primary CTA: “Take survey”

• Secondary CTA: “No Thanks”

• Fallback toast (if link fails): “Couldn’t open the survey. Please try again.”

Behavior

• Tap Take survey → open external browser to Qualtrics Survey; don’t re-prompt.

• Tap No Thanks → dismiss and don't re-prompt

• Backdrop dismiss (tap outside or system back) → treat as “No Thanks”.

Track following actions

(TBD this will be documented in an Instrumentation doc)
