| <big>'''An open OS that puts Web content first'''</big>
| |
| | |
| ==='''What is Alopex?'''===
| |
| Alopex is the project name for our design-based initiative to evolve the overall experience of Firefox OS based on Ignite.
| |
| Alopex used to be the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_fox genus under which the Arctic Fox was included] and it's a cool [http://turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Alopex female mutant Arctic Fox] from a popular cartoon.
| |
| | |
| ==='''Project Goals'''===
| |
| Alopex is about delivering an open OS that puts Web content first.
| |
| It is about crafting an end-to-end Firefox experience that:
| |
| * Puts Web content in the center of the experience
| |
| * Directly addresses the shortcomings of the Web on mobile
| |
| * Emphasizes the Web's strengths of immediacy and continuity across devices
| |
| * Is centered around simplicity yet puts the user fully in control
| |
| * Creates an open platform for participation, and promotes community contribution
| |
| | |
| This initiative will build on top of the amazing work that has gone into customizations (add-ons), the ability to save/use Web content (Pin the Web), data sync and more.
| |
| | |
| ==='''Ideal End State'''===
| |
| * Discovering great Web content is simple, yet familiar
| |
| * Different content types (web apps, websites, etc.) are abstracted away from user
| |
| * All Web content is optimized (to the screen size and input method)
| |
| * Mobile content barriers (such as installations and re-authentication using the same credentials) are a thing of the past
| |
| * Loading Web content is quick and fluid
| |
| * Connection issues no longer "break" experience (endless spinners, partially loaded content)
| |
| * Users can access their favourite content from any device
| |
| * Users feel fully in control over their device and online experiences
| |
| * Content is not bound to the scope of specific apps, encouraging interesting new experiences to be created and shared with others
| |
| * Community members have a direct channel to offer new experiences to users
