There are several pending initiatives that are focused on improving the user experience of Firefox Sync and Firefox Accounts. As part of this Outreachy internship project you will be involved in improving user interaction, running experiments, and measuring success of certain features. Your engineering skills will assist in the following:
- Developing new application improvements to reduce the number of user errors on password reset, [https://github.com/mozilla/fxa/blob/rfeeley/eye-password-experiment/features/FxA-80-eye-password-experiment/README.md password change], and [https://github.com/mozilla/fxa/blob/feature-mailcheck-part-two/features/proposed/FxA-79-mailcheck-part-2/README.md sign up flows]. This will give you developer experience working with the Firefox Accounts UX team.
- Experimenting with [https://github.com/mozilla/fxa/blob/rfeeley/eye-password-experiment/features/FxA-80-eye-password-experiment/README.md “Show Password” UX]. Determining which design is more effective in terms of speed and popularity.
- Improving the verification rate and speed of new users signing up for Firefox Accounts.
We have existing metrics infrastructure that will assist you in this task. You need strong skills and experience working with front-end JavaScript and CSS projects. It is good to have some node.js, git and Backbone.js experience. You can get involved by trying out the fxa-local-dev (https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-local-dev) repository and check out the docs at http://fxa.readthedocs.org.
