Another week, another set of demos from the Firefox Accounts team: First demo today was from Ryan, showing us the *script he uses to build those lovely "Whats New in Train-N" emails every 2 weeks*. Besides building up a log of what happened, it also alerts when commits cannot be easily linked with a milestone, or if they were merged without a reviewer. It still requires some massaging before actually sending the e-mail, but it's nice to see the bus factor lowered around a small bit of our process.
Second, Alex showed off *projects.growthhackers.com <https://projects.growthhackers.com>*, and how using it might be a better fit for us than our current mishmash of Google Docs, Waffle, and a spreadsheet to manage our product direction. It is designed with the flow we already use on Waffle, starting with "ideas", moving to "testing", and then finalizing with "analyzing". It looks to have some nifty features that would allow us to prioritize and afterwards score OKRs, with its scores and roadmap ability. We aren't using it yet, only a couple ideas were entered to show off how it might work. There is promise, but also some concern that it has a higher learning curve, and "why would we go back to something like Aha if we hated Aha" feeling by some. Lastly, Vijay showed us some work that Shane and he have been doing to *improve the login situation on Firefox for iOS*. Previously, after a successful login in Firefox for iOS, the success screen would return to the Settings page automatically after 10 seconds. However, if a user had not verified their account, the browser would not start syncing, unbeknownst to the user. Now, the page does not change, but instead polls the server for confirmation. This should greatly reduce the cases of users believing they are syncing, but really are not. Hurrays all around. Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode...
