Refactor recommendations for maintainability
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

When the current A/B test is over, we could...

  1. Stop using GettingStarted as a container for task recommendations, and spin it out into a standalone extension. That way, we can continue to test it out while keeping GettingStarted stable.
  2. Keep them bundled together but continue to have a feature flag for recommendations. May include renaming the extension to Suggestions.
