Maybe, Don't Set A Default
What To Pick
I'm thinking about how to add feeds in Neb1. You'll have the ability to make each one "public" (which will show up in your profile), or "private" (which won't).
The way I generally see that type of option presented is to have a single checkbox like:
Or, with radio buttons. Something like:
In both cases, the default value is for "Public" (explicitly with the radio buttons and implicitly in the case of the checkbox).
That's can be fine, but having a default means folks might not notice the choice and end up surprised by the result1.
Make 'em Choose
I'd like to eliminate that possibility. One way would be to use radio buttons without setting one as the default. That always feeds weird. Things look broken when none of the options are ticked2.
Instead, the approach I'm looking at is to move the decision to the last step and present two buttons:
There is no default. Folks have to make a decision on which button to click. That, in turn, means they are much less likely to end up with a feed going some place they didn't expect.
