Add visual feedback when installing IPFS #13170
Comments
I don't believe a regular "page load spinner" would be enough. That creates a perception of "IPFS being slow" when in fact its Brave fetching and installing go-ipfs behind the scenes for the most of the time. There should be more clear messaging to the user why the very first load takes such long time. I'd argue opening |
Completely agree with @lidel. If we can provide any visual artifacts to help this along, would be happy to. |
@lidel @bbondy Below are some super quick inspect-element amends that could make a substantial, quick-win difference in the usability of this diagnostics page: The only changes here that would involve more than just a few CSS amends would be:
I hope this is useful. Also cross-posting in #13173 since that issue deals with suggestions for improving the diagnostic page. |

This issue was broken out from @jessicaschilling's issue posted here: #13125
When installing IPFS from the infobar (the only way currently), there is no visual feedback .
Behind the scenes go-ipfs is downloaded (which may take time on slow network) and user will think "IPFS support is broken, because nothing happened"
Jessica suggested:
Fix: open brave://ipfs (in a new active tab) and display "installation" state (downloading, unpacking, starting). More details on this below.
But since that's a diagnostics page, I think that's not completely right.
I think we could just reload the page with the local node URI and it will show the loading indicator at least.
