I accidentally started this post with my “kibbling Kibbling is the process of dogfooding a flow and publishing visual records and narratives of that dogfooding. The make/flow blog is an example of a kibbling blog. Since we are publishing these “kibbles” with the software we are dogfooding, the act of kibbling further dogfoods the software. Kibbling encourages more dogfooding which encourages more kibbling and so on.” site as the destination. I after uploading media, I switch the site to “Garage Hobbit Abroad” my travel photoblogging site. If I tap the image and peek at the details…

because kibbling is a private site.
I accidentally post to the wrong site often. In fact, I did it when making this post. I intended to post to make/flow Flow is the path of screens and interactions taken to accomplish a task. It’s an experience vector. Flow is also a feeling. It’s being unselfconscious and in the zone. Flow is what happens when difficulties are removed and you are freed to pursue an activity without forming intentions. You just do it.Flow is the actual user experience, in many ways. If you like, you can think of flow as a really comprehensive set of user stories. When you think about user flow, you’re thinking about exactly how a user will perform the tasks allowed by your product.Flow and Context
but instead uploaded images to Garage Hobbit Abroad.

I didn’t notice I was uploading to the wrong site until after all of these images uploaded because the uploading progress indicator eclipses the blog context.

I’ve seen some experiments with forcing blog destination decisions up front, at the beginning of post creation flow. This is done with a dropown/flyout on create post icons or with an interstitial screen when initiating post creation flow from a global context. Once in the flow, blog switching is not allowed since switching once started means losing media additions and other changes. Switching blogs mid-flow requires discarding the post and rewinding back to the beginning of post creation flow. Discarding to rewind flow is similar to how Tumblr and other sites handle their post format flows (aside: not discarding and rewinding flow is why our post formats ui attempt failed and was pulled). Here’s a mockup of a dropdown style chooser on a create post icon when in global context.
