Change Details

#### Background In early 2016, the Android team updated their existing Saved Pages to a new feature called [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Synced_Reading_Lists | Reading lists ]]. Reading Lists allowed users to put saved articles into folders and to label and make a basic description for their folders. The original feature design included the ability for logged-in users to sync their lists across devices, using the list storing capabilities of the Collections extension. For reasons unrelated to the apps and their user's needs, these plans were paused. In early 2017 the Android team made a number of improvements to the Reading Lists feature, to make them easier to manage for users and solidify the offline saving elements, based on research identifying offline saving as a major area of focus for serving New Readers. Reading lists has since become a popular feature, and there have been requests from the community for the ability to share reading lists with other users, and export reading lists as a back up mechanism. This epic is to allow users the ability to share their reading list with other app users and export the contents. #### How will we know we were successful KR 1.1: At least 20% of initial users will engage with the feature again within 30 days after initial engagement KR 1.2: Increase pageviews in target growth markets by 5% within 90 days of release KR 1.3: Increase app downloads from target growth markets six months after release at a rate higher than the same time period the previous two years ####Must Haves [ ] Ability to export all reading lists and look at the contents outside of the app [ ] Share at least a single reading list while encouraging download of the app when the app isn't installed [ ] Approval from Legal against privacy concerns [ ] Instrumentation that helps us understand if the feature led to an increase in installs and pageviews [ ] Consideration for onboarding when entering app through reading list [ ] Compatibility with iOS ####Potentially out of scope [ ] Live syncing/updates [ ] Parity with web #### User Stories - As a Wikipedia Android app user and student in Morocco, I want to export my reading lists, so that I can use it at the Mohammed V University school library - As a Wikipedia Android app user in Ghana, I want to share my reading list with a family member in the US that has an iOS device, so they can read the articles I've saved about Accra ahead of their trip home in December. - As a Wikipedia Android app user organizer in South Asia, I want to share reading list via Whatsapp after an event, so people that have attended know which articles are in need of contributions #### Target Quant Regions Africa (Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Kenya, DR Congo, Angola, and Ghana) and South Asia (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Nepal) #### Target Qualitative Audience Usability testing and design research must be conducted with low vision and low bandwidth users.
