This is not meant to be a list of requirements. Your dapp may not require certain items. This is also not an exhaustive list. Please send pull requests with contributions!\n\n## Onboarding Support\n\n- [ ] If you decide to not support mobile browsers, ensure you are checking for this and warning users of mobile browsers\n- [ ] Warn the user when they are in an unsupported browser\n- [ ] Warn the user when they do not have a wallet -- e.g. MetaMask -- installed\n- [ ] Tell the user they need to unlock their wallet\n- [ ] Tell the user they need to authorize their wallet (EIP-1102)\n- [ ] Make sure user is on the right network\n- [ ] Make sure the user has Ether\n\n## Transaction Support\n\n- [ ] Notify the user if there is a transaction in MetaMask's queue waiting for confirmation or rejection\n- [ ] Notify the user if they reject the transaction from the MetaMask window\n- [ ] Warn the user when it appears they are about to execute a duplicate transaction\n- [ ] Warn on insufficient funds\n\n## Transaction Notifications\n\n- [ ] Notify a user when a transaction is pending\n- [ ] Notify a user when a transaction has succeeded\n- [ ] Notify a user when a transaction has failed\n- [ ] Notify a user when a transaction is taking longer than expected\n\n## Gas Estimation\n\n- [ ] Give users a choice in plain english for what their gas price should be in terms of how long the transaction will take\n- [ ] Warn users if their gas is set much higher than needed (i.e. helping prevent against a developer bug that adds a few zeros to the gas price by accident, for example)\n- [ ] Warn users if their gas is set super low during times of high network congestion (i.e. so that future, higher nonce, transactions are not blocked)\n\n## Error Handling\n\n- [ ] Catch \u0026 parse MetaMask errors, and alert users what is happening in easy to understand language\n\n## Mobile Support\n\n- [ ] If your dapp supports mobile, make sure you don't tell people to install MetaMask\n\n## Network Status\n\n- [ ] Tell users the overall state of the network (e.g. red/yellow/green notificaton)\n\n# Resources\n\n- Ryan Angilly's slides on Dapp Usability from ETHDenver 2019: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1vHNpSVCDwIbdpjA-zlBvSvsCjK7uikcLvaCcz3PglqQ/edit?usp=sharing\n\n\n# Contributions\n\nHave ideas?
