Channels: your quick start guide

[jorge-campo]

Hello @Fabiomorais87 – This is a new article for your review.

I'm assigning this to you because you were the one starting the topic several months ago.

Thanks!

Note: some missing icons are included in another PR under review.

Note 2: I can't link this PR to its corresponding issue for some reason.

Hi @jorge-campo, I really like the way the document looks now that it has been revised. The quality has been greatly improved. I have just small suggestions. :)

Intro

• Word Centered --> Centered is predominantly used in 🇺🇸 American (US) English ( en-US ) while centred is predominantly used in 🇬🇧 British English.

• !!! note
  Messages in [token-gated communities][how-to-use-communities-your-quick-start-guide] and token-gated channels are always end-to-end encrypted.

As I understand this, the point of this admonition is to stress that messages are always end-to-end encrypted. Therefore, I would remove the first crosslink and add a link in "end-to-end encrypted" to the article entitled "About Status messages".

• === ":mobile-two: New messages"
  A dot next to the channel name indicates unread messages. To customize your channel notifications, check out [Configure community and channel notifications][configure-community-and-channel-notifications].

Perhaps it would be helpful to emphasize that it is a grey dot? In that case, the phrase would read: "A grey dot next to the channel name indicates unread messages..."

Open and token-gated channels

• === ":mobile-one: View-only requirements"
  View-only requirements show the tokens users should hold to enter the channel and read the messages. When the user meets the requirements for a token, the token shows a :mobile-green-check: green checkmark.

Maybe it would be good to add a link to the article "About view-only channels". If this makes sense, I suggest adding this link under "View only requirements".

• !!! tip
  Token-gated channels show a :mobile-locked-lock: lock symbol next to the channel icon.

My suggestion is to add a link to the article "set up a token-gated channel" under "Token-gated channels".

Thanks for your comments, @Fabiomorais87 – I've updated my doc with your suggestions, except for the grey button. If the button color has no function (in other words, if there aren't different colors for different statuses), adding the color may confuse the user.
