Change Details

With the full fledged support for map based browsing/discovery we no longer need to insert nearby items so frequently in the Explore feed. Suggest the following new logic (If the user has enabled nearby permission): - do not insert nearby items in first session - associate each refresh of Explore with a gross position - if the distance between the current position and previous position is greater than some significant distance (20 kilometers?) add a single nearby item into the feed Additionally, if the user removed the nearby item, or currently has the article in their feed or blacklist, do not insert the card into the feed. We may also want to consider inserting items as "encouragement" to use the nearby tab, if the user hasn't viewed the nearby tab since installing. Not a must have, though.

==Links== **Design document:** https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T153119 ==Summary of projec== Define new logic for displaying the Nearby item in the Explore feed. ==Why are we doing this?== With the addition of the Nearby tab as the primary means of support for map based browsing and discovery, the Nearby feed item no longer needs to be inserted into the Explore feed at it’s current frequency. Instead of using the Nearby feed item as the sole way of allowing users to explore nearby articles, the feed item can be used instead as a push to use the Nearby tab (either due to the user’s change in location or lack of use of the Nearby tab). ==User stories== **User who has not travelled further than 25 kilometers* since last use of the app:** As a frequent user of the Wikipedia App, I do not want to see repeated content in my feed based on my local area. While at home, commuting or spending time in a single area I do not want to be shown the same articles in my Explore feed. **User who has travelled further than 25 kilometers* since last refresh of Explore feed: ** As a user of the Wikipedia app, I want to see article suggestions when I have travelled a significant distance. Seeing a list of articles nearby my new location helps me to learn more about where I am and encourages me to use the Nearby tab for deeper exploration. **User who has not travelled further than 25 kilometers* since last refresh of Explore feed and has not used the Nearby tab: ** I would like to be able to learn more about the Nearby feature and seeing articles neary my current location in the Explore feed encourages me to utilize the Nearby tab. ==Constraints== - For users who have not granted location permissions see this ticket: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T152150 - Location only noted when app is active. ==Design details== **Feed card design:** The design of the Nearby feed card will primarily remain the same with a few one small change: - Tapping on ‘More nearby your location’ will open the Nearby tab with the list view open instead of a separate list of nearby articles. **Onboarding and first feed load:** - See ticket: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T152150 - Nearby feed item should not be shown on a user’s first feed load. **User who has not travelled further than 25 kilometers* since last refresh of Explore feed:** Do not show Nearby feed item. **User has not used Nearby tab:** Show a Nearby feed item once every 10 Explore feed refreshes.** **User has used Nearby tab: ** Do not show a Nearby feed item. **User who has travelled further than 25 kilometers* since last refresh of Explore feed: ** Display a Nearby card in the Explore feed. **User who has dismissed the Nearby cards:** If the user has dismissed the Nearby card or currently has the article in their feed or blacklist, do not insert the card into the feed. ==Questions== - Should the Nearby card still display three articles or just one article cell at a time? - * Is 25 kilometers a proper distance (too far, not far enough) for triggering a feed item? - ** How often should a Nearby feed item be shown to a user who has not travelled further than 25 kilometers since their last refresh of the Explore feed and who has not navigated to the Nearby tab?
