Installing

Use this package as a library

Depend on it

Run this command:

With Flutter:

 $ flutter pub add user_experior

This will add a line like this to your package's pubspec.yaml (and run an implicit flutter pub get):

dependencies:
  user_experior: ^2.2.1

Alternatively, your editor might support flutter pub get. Check the docs for your editor to learn more.

Import it

Now in your Dart code, you can use:

import 'package:user_experior/user_experior.dart';

example/lib/main.dart

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'dart:async';

import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
import 'package:user_experior/user_experior.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  String _platformVersion = 'Unknown';

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    initPlatformState();
  }

  // Platform messages are asynchronous, so we initialize in an async method.
  Future<void> initPlatformState() async {
    String platformVersion;
    // Platform messages may fail, so we use a try/catch PlatformException.
    try {
      platformVersion = await UserExperior.platformVersion;
    } on PlatformException {
      platformVersion = 'Failed to get platform version.';
    }

    // If the widget was removed from the tree while the asynchronous platform
    // message was in flight, we want to discard the reply rather than calling
    // setState to update our non-existent appearance.
    if (!mounted) return;

    setState(() {
      _platformVersion = platformVersion;
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    UserExperior.startRecording("0fbb908e-3e27-41b7-946c-d48283553746");

    UserExperior.setUserIdentifier("zeeeeeee786");

    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: const Text('Plugin example app'),
        ),
        body: Center(
          child: Text('Running on: $_platformVersion\n'),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Spring: A Static Web Site Generator Written By GitHub Issues

Spring

Spring is a blog engine written by GitHub Issues, or is a simple, static web site generator. No more server and database, you can setup it in free hosting with GitHub Pages as a repository, then post the blogs in the repository Issues.

You can add some labels in your repository Issues as the blog category, and create Issues for writing blog content through Markdown.

Spring has responsive templates, looking good on mobile, tablet, and desktop.Gracefully degrading in older browsers. Compatible with Internet Explorer 10+ and all modern browsers.

Get up and running in seconds.

中文介绍

Quick start guide

For the impatient, here's how to get a Spring blog site up and running.

First of all

• Fork the Spring repository as yours.
• Goto your repository settings page to rename Repository Name.
• Hosted directly on GitHub Pages from your project repository, you can take it as User or organization site or Project site(create a gh-pages branch).
• Also, you can set up a custom domain with Pages.

Secondly

• Open the index.html file to edit the config variables with yours below.

$.extend(spring.config, {
  // my blog title
  title: 'Spring',
  // my blog description
  desc: "A blog engine written by github issues [Fork me on GitHub](https://github.com/zhaoda/spring)",
  // my github username
  owner: 'zhaoda',
  // creator's username
  creator: 'zhaoda',
  // the repository name on github for writting issues
  repo: 'spring',
  // custom page
  pages: [
  ]
})

• Put your domain into the CNAME file if you have.
• Commit your change and push it.

And then

• Goto your repository settings page to turn on the Issues feature.
• Browser this repository's issues page, like this https://github.com/your-username/your-repo-name/issues?state=open.
• Click the New Issue button to just write some content as a new one blog.

Finally

• Browser this repository's GitHub Pages url, like this http://your-username.github.io/your-repo-name, you will see your Spring blog, have a test.
• And you're done!

Custom development

Installation

• You will need a web server installed on your system, for example, Nginx, Apache etc.
• Configure your spring project to your local web server directory.
• Run and browser it, like http://localhost/spring/dev.html .
• dev.html is used to develop, index.html is used to runtime.

How To Create User-Generated Content? [A Simple Guide To Grow Your Brand]

In this digital world, online businesses aspire to catch the attention of users in a modern and smarter way. To achieve it, they need to traverse through new approaches. Here comes to spotlight is the user-generated content or UGC.

What is user-generated content?
“ It is the content by users for users.”

Generally, the UGC is the unbiased content created and published by the brand users, social media followers, fans, and influencers that highlight their experiences with the products or services. User-generated content has superseded other marketing trends and fallen into the advertising feeds of brands. Today, more than 86 percent of companies use user-generated content as part of their marketing strategy.

In this article, we have explained the ten best ideas to create wonderful user-generated content for your brand. Let’s start without any further ado.

1. Content From Social Media Platforms
   In the year 2020, there are 3.81 million people actively using social media around the globe. That is the reason social media content matters. Whenever users look at the content on social media that is posted by an individual, then they may be influenced by their content. Perhaps, it can be used to gain more customers or followers on your social media platforms.

Generally, social media platforms help the brand to generate content for your users. Any user content that promotes your brand on the social media platform is the user-generated content for your business. When users create and share content on social media, they get 28% higher engagement than a standard company post.

Furthermore, you can embed your social media feed on your website also. you can use the Social Stream Designer WordPress plugin that will integrate various social media feeds from different social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and many more. With this plugin, you can create a responsive wall on your WordPress website or blog in a few minutes. In addition to this, the plugin also provides more than 40 customization options to make your social stream feeds more attractive.

2. Consumer Survey
   The customer survey provides powerful insights you need to make a better decision for your business. Moreover, it is great user-generated content that is useful for identifying unhappy consumers and those who like your product or service.

In general, surveys can be used to figure out attitudes, reactions, to evaluate customer satisfaction, estimate their opinions about different problems. Another benefit of customer surveys is that collecting outcomes can be quick. Within a few minutes, you can design and load a customer feedback survey and send it to your customers for their response. From the customer survey data, you can find your strengths, weaknesses, and get the right way to improve them to gain more customers.

3. Run Contests
   A contest is a wonderful way to increase awareness about a product or service. Contest not just helps you to enhance the volume of user-generated content submissions, but they also help increase their quality. However, when you create a contest, it is important to keep things as simple as possible.

Additionally, it is the best way to convert your brand leads to valuable customers. The key to running a successful contest is to make sure that the reward is fair enough to motivate your participation. If the product is relevant to your participant, then chances are they were looking for it in the first place, and giving it to them for free just made you move forward ahead of your competitors. They will most likely purchase more if your product or service satisfies them.

Furthermore, running contests also improve the customer-brand relationship and allows more people to participate in it. It will drive a real result for your online business. If your WordPress website has Google Analytics, then track contest page visits, referral traffic, other website traffic, and many more.

4. Review And Testimonials
   Customer reviews are a popular user-generated content strategy. One research found that around 68% of customers must see at least four reviews before trusting a brand. And, approximately 40 percent of consumers will stop using a business after they read negative reviews.

The business reviews help your consumers to make a buying decision without any hurdle. While you may decide to remove all the negative reviews about your business, those are still valuable user-generated content that provides honest opinions from real users. Customer feedback can help you with what needs to be improved with your products or services. This thing is not only beneficial to the next customer but your business as a whole.

Reviews are powerful as the platform they are built upon. That is the reason it is important to gather reviews from third-party review websites like Google review, Facebook review, and many more, or direct reviews on a website. It is the most vital form of feedback that can help brands grow globally and motivate audience interactions.

However, you can also invite your customers to share their unique or successful testimonials. It is a great way to display your products while inspiring others to purchase from your website.

5. Video Content
   A great video is a video that is enjoyed by visitors. These different types of videos, such as 360-degree product videos, product demo videos, animated videos, and corporate videos. The Facebook study has demonstrated that users spend 3x more time watching live videos than normal videos. With the live video, you can get more user-created content.

Moreover, Instagram videos create around 3x more comments rather than Instagram photo posts. Instagram videos generally include short videos posted by real customers on Instagram with the tag of a particular brand. Brands can repost the stories as user-generated content to engage more audiences and create valid promotions on social media.

Similarly, imagine you are browsing a YouTube channel, and you look at a brand being supported by some authentic customers through a small video. So, it will catch your attention. With the videos, they can tell you about the branded products, especially the unboxing videos displaying all the inside products and how well it works for them. That type of video is enough to create a sense of desire in the consumers.

Bypassing Server-Side Rendering Altogether For a Better Web User Experience

I almost hate to write this article, but at the same time I have experienced a special freedom lately. We build high performance single page applications, this means our web sites render data in the browser rather than the server. Over the past year we were challenged by customers to live without ASP.NET, node and other server-side rendering services. After several experiences and some changes to our workflow, we found don’t need them and neither do you.

Why No Server-Side Rendering?

You may have read articles and heard statements to the effect server-side rendering is faster than client-side. I have disputed this theory and even done some simple tests to compare the two techniques. Part of the argument is that browsers and DOM are not fast. This is untrue. They are not fast when you do things wrong, which most fast food frameworksdo. They are designed using server-side architecture and techniques, not good client-side browser techniques.

Server-side rendering is performed by an application engine like ASP.NET, Ruby, PHP, Java, node, etc. Often this involves making a call to some sort of data store and possibly evaluating authentication credentials. This can and often leads to a slower time to first byte (TTFB).

Good server-side rendering engines offer a caching mechanism like ASP.NET’s Output Caching. Here the server renders content once and caches the result in memory. Output caching allows you to declare caching parameters so you can designate the cache time to live (TTL), queryString, language and other variations. It is a powerful technique.

In essence Output Caching produces a static HTML file. Because data becomes stale over time this cache needs to be purged and rendered again. All data has a life cycle or personality as I call it that determines the right way to cache the rendered markup.

Modern single page web applications by their nature move this server-side exercise to the client. This means a SPA is responsible for managing markup and rendering as needed. They also manage data caching. These responsibilities are managed by Love2Spa, our web platform, as fundamental design features.

This does not mean there is not a dance between the web server and the client that needs to be managed. Single page applications require a different approach where the server offers more of a dumb or static server architecture. The application instead relies on a robust API to provide on-demand data, preferably in JSON format. A single page application needs a fast, static web server that beckons back to the web’s early days. The API provides the dynamic aspects of the application, data and authorized content.

This is good because static CDNs like Azure and AWS’ S3 and Cloudfront are cheap, globally distributed and fast. APIs can be built and hosted on the same cloud platform, using services like Azure App Services, Blob Storage, AWS Beanstalk or S3. Again API platforms are cheap and highly scalable. While many management tasks need to be managed in this scenario, they replace many tasks previously assigned to the web server. In my experience there is even less administration required.

So how does the modern single page application architecture look? Let’s look at two diagrams, one with a single web server and another using the distributed cloud based services previously described.
