Tooltips / helpers if needed #109
Description
Some time ago, Yulia asked me to consider adding additional tooltips to the Wallet interface.
I didn't get any feedback back then, but to kind of close this topic, I'm dropping it here. If you find any of these ideas worth implementing, cool. If not, also cool.
I am personally not convinced they are really necessary, I think the Wallet is user-friendly and clear.
The only thing that might be really worth explaining is probably adding a custom network process.
Here are the suggestions and examples:
-
Export Account Button
Export your account's details- .account file will be downloaded containing displayName, templateAddress, spawnArguments, PublicKey, address -
SingleSig/MultiSig Badge onHover
SingleSig: This account requires only one signature to authorize transactions. MultiSig: This account requires multiple signatures to finalize transactions. -
Local/Hardware/View Only Key Badge onHover
Local Key: This key is stored on your device.
Hardware Key: This is the account from a hardware wallet. To manage transactions you will have to use your Ledger.
View Only: You cannot fully manage your account from here as its private key is not stored in this wallet. -
Derivation Path Input Field
Explain what the derivation path is and why it might be changed (keys recovery) or why it doesn't have to/shouldn’t be changed if someone doesn't understand it.
Example:A derivation path is used to generate key pairs from your mnemonic. Change only if you know what you're doing." or “It can be used to recover your additional keys and accounts after mnemonics recovery + explanation? -
Wipe Out Button
Warning: Make sure you have backed up your wallet data. -
Network - Manual Adding process
Tooltips: Provide information about the process/point and of adding a custom network
Alternatively
Add one button with a link to official docs or implement a mini wiki within the Wallet app with the most important information related strictly to the Wallet app, transactions management, keys&accounts etc.
