Background
At the end of the reading challenge, users will be seeing the challenge concluded screen and a CTA to collect their prizes. After July 28th, users will not be able to collect their prizes anymore, and the widget should transition into something useful in case they do not remove it from their screen.
With the release of the Explore Feed on Android, we saw how much folks valued the randomizer and think it would be a good transition of the widget to become a randomizer widget, since it already has a randomizer button.
Requirements
- All existing users should transition to the Random article widget only after July 28.
- All new users should immediately see the Random article widget
- Update the name of the widget in the system (user facing) to "Random article"
- Single CTA opens up randomizer
- Tapping anywhere on the widget opens up randomizer
- Widget stays on Randomizer irregardless of reading state
- Remove daily reading & streak tracking facets of widget
- Include illustration
- Minimal text included (translation-friendly and smaller screen friendly)
- Single background color & single baby globe illustration
- Store/document/save the logic for the streak tracking so that it can be reused in a future feature.
- Update instrumentation so that it's referred to as the Random article widget
Nice to have:
- Keep the daily updating of background color & baby globe [text does not need to update] using the Streak ongoing read today for the additional colors/states
