Critical UX improvement: Decision happens at the RIGHT moment.
Changes to Step 2.2 (Repository Settings):
- ADDED: Comprehensive 'Single vs Separate Repo' decision framework
- Decision now happens DURING naming (not after)
- Clear naming convention: 'my-project' vs 'my-project-specs'
Single Repository Use Cases:
✅ Close to development team
✅ Simple, direct communication needed
✅ Building the project yourself
✅ Working closely with other designers
✅ Small team with full ownership
✅ Rapid iteration and feedback
Separate Repository Use Cases:
✅ Corporate or enterprise environment
✅ Specifications serve multiple products/platforms
✅ Development team has many developers
✅ Extensive or complex codebase
✅ Clear handoff boundaries needed
✅ Design and dev have separate workflows
Changes to Step 2.3:
- Acknowledge decision was made
- Remind about implications
Changes to Step 4.1:
- SIMPLIFIED: Just recap the decision made in Step 2
- No longer presenting options (already decided!)
- Cleaner flow
Reasoning:
Repository NAME determines structure. The decision must happen when
naming the repository, not later. This is when GitHub asks 'what do
you want to call this?' - that's the natural decision point.
Benefits:
- Decision at natural moment (when naming)
- Clear naming conventions prevent confusion
- Users understand implications before creating
- No 'oops, I named it wrong' moments
- Professional guidance on when to use each approach
Reorganization for better logical flow:
Changes:
- MOVED: 'One Repo or Two?' decision from Step 2.4 to Step 4.1
- Placed BEFORE Git installation discussion
- Added note in Step 2 pointing forward to Step 4
Reasoning:
- Repository structure decision affects how you'll set up Git workflow
- Makes more sense alongside Git/GitHub Desktop discussion
- GitHub Desktop can help visualize the single vs separate decision
- Users make informed choice before cloning
- Better pedagogical flow: Create repo → Understand structure → Clone it
Benefits:
- Decision happens at the right moment (before cloning)
- Connected to tooling discussion (Git/GitHub Desktop)
- Eliminates duplicate content
- Clearer mental model for beginners
Major UX improvement for complete beginners:
Tutorial Changes (Step 4):
- REMOVED: Manual Git installation steps with command line
- ADDED: Explanation that IDE handles Git automatically
- ADDED: GitHub Desktop as visual alternative for non-technical users
- NEW APPROACH: Let Cursor prompt for Git installation when needed
Key improvements:
- Beginners don't need to manually install Git
- Cursor/VS Code will automatically prompt when cloning
- Optional GitHub Desktop path for visual learners
- Reduces friction and confusion for designers
- Eliminates 'why am I doing this?' questions
Overview Changes:
- Updated lesson descriptions to match tutorial flow
- Clarified Git is handled automatically
- Updated completion checklist
- Improved tutorial description
Reasoning:
Complete beginners don't need to understand Git installation.
Modern IDEs handle this transparently. Let the tools do the work.
Designers can focus on design, not developer tooling.
Complete rewrite of Installation & Setup module targeting designers with
zero technical experience:
Overview Changes:
- Expanded from 30min to 45-60min to accommodate beginners

- Added repository setup and naming guidance
- Added IDE installation (Cursor vs VS Code comparison)
- Reduced prerequisites to absolute minimum (just computer + internet)
- New lesson structure: GitHub → Repository → IDE → Clone → WDS → Mimir
Tutorial Changes (8 detailed steps):
1. Create GitHub Account - Username tips, verification
2. Create Project Repository - Naming, public/private, one vs two repos
3. Install IDE - Cursor vs VS Code, first launch setup
4. Install Git - Check, install, configure
5. Clone Repository - URL, location, terminal commands
6. Add WDS to Workspace - Inside vs beside decision
7. Create Docs Structure - 8-phase folders with platform-specific commands
8. Initiate with Mimir - Drag file, first interaction
New Features:
- Screenshot-worthy step-by-step instructions
- Platform-specific commands (Windows/Mac/Linux)
- Troubleshooting section for common beginner issues
- Visual file structure diagrams
- Pro tips for ongoing use
- Quick reference for 'what lives where'
