User Journeys and Platform Adaptability

​

The Fluid Nature of CNAP Users

In CNAP, user capabilities are fluid and evolving. Unlike traditional platforms that rigidly categorize users, CNAP recognizes that a user’s journey can be complex and multifaceted. Here, every user is simply a user, with the potential to engage with the platform in myriad ways simultaneously.

​

Examples of Capability Expansion

1. From App Usage to Infrastructure Provision: A user might begin by installing applications for personal or business use. As they gain expertise, they could expand their capabilities to offer infrastructure, supporting the applications they’ve mastered.

2. Application Development and Distribution: A user developing applications on CNAP might expand their engagement by publishing their creations to the marketplace, adding distribution to their existing development capabilities.

3. Internal Use to Community Engagement: An enterprise user leveraging CNAP for internal deployments might expand their involvement by contributing to the platform’s open-source components or sharing best practices, becoming an active community participant alongside their existing usage.

Adaptive User Interface

CNAP’s UI evolves with the user, adapting to their expanding capabilities and interests:

• Dynamic Sidebar: The sidebar highlights recent actions and frequently used features, creating a personalized navigation experience that reflects the user’s current focus areas.
• Customizable Quick-Access: Users can tailor their interface by pinning important navigation items, ensuring easy access to their most-used features across different capability areas.
• Progressive Feature Revelation: As users engage with new aspects of the platform, relevant features and options become more prominent, supporting their exploration of new capabilities.

​

Continuous Growth and Adaptation

CNAP’s platform is designed to support users’ continuous growth and adaptation:

• Granular Permissions: Users can acquire specific capabilities without being confined to predefined categories.
• Verified Expertise: The scope of user capabilities is earned through demonstrated expertise and trust.
• Artifacthub Integration: CNAP utilizes Artifacthub for expertise verification, granting expanded capabilities based on verified contributions.
• Continuous Capability Growth: Users can acquire additional entitlements as they demonstrate proficiency and trustworthiness in various activities.

By embracing this fluid, evolving approach to user capabilities and platform interaction, CNAP creates an environment where users can simultaneously grow, innovate, and contribute across multiple areas, adapting to their changing needs and expanding expertise without artificial boundaries.
