Achievements

Unlock achievements for completing actions within Parcel.

Much like in a video game, a variety of actions you take within Parcel will unlock achievements. Each achievement, when first achieved1, comes with a notification and celebratory confetti.

Silent video of the full Parcel window, without any files open or in the file tree. The user clicks the + button at the top of the file tree, revealing a menu with several options. The user clicks "New Email", and a new file is added to the file tree, which the user names. Once the file is created, there is a small explosion of confetti in the lower right corner of the screen, which then slowly falls downward and fades. Concurrently, a notification appears in the same region that reads "NEW ACHIEVEMENT; Endless Possibilities; Create a New Email". The notification also includes a small image of a blank notebook page with a pencil.

Users can view the achievements they've unlocked and the ones they haven't in their profile settings page. Completed achievements will be at the top of the page and have a colorful image. Incomplete achievements will be lower on the page and have a grayscale image. Click on any achievement on the achievements page to be brought to the docs page for that action.
