Enhancement Description
This enhancement is related to Issue #10548 where the connection flow was discussed.
Currently, after successfully connecting the Next.js starter app to Appwrite Cloud, the console displays “Connected successfully” and requires the user to manually click Skip to dashboard without going to next steps.
It would improve the user experience if the app could:
- Automatically redirect to the next steps or dashboard after a successful connection.
- Display a toast notification confirming the successful connection (e.g., “You are connected successfully”).
Expected Behavior
- User completes connection.
- Console shows a success toast.
- Automatically navigates to next steps or dashboard without additional clicks.
Environment
- Appwrite Version: Appwrite Cloud
- Operating System: Windows
- Starter App: Next.js
Notes
I am happy to implement this enhancement if assigned.
🎤 Pitch
💡 Why This Should Be Implemented
The current flow requires an extra manual step that can cause confusion.
Implementing automatic redirection with a success toast would:
- Improve UX – Users get immediate confirmation without extra clicks.
- Reduce confusion – First-time users might think something is broken if the console doesn’t auto-navigate.
- Smooth onboarding – The app feels more polished and professional.
🛠 How It Would Be Used
- User sets up the starter app and completes the
.envconfiguration. - The app sends a connection request to Appwrite Cloud.
- Once the connection succeeds:
- A toast notification appears: ✅ “Connected successfully”.
- The user is automatically redirected to the dashboard.
📌 Examples
Current Flow:
User connects -> Console shows "Connected successfully" -> User clicks "Skip to dashboard" -> Dashboard opens
Proposed Flow:
User connects -> Toast shows "Connected successfully" -> Automatically redirects to Dashboard
