Problem

What this project is solving.

New users were dropping off before activation because the initial setup flow felt long, unclear, and hard to recover from.

Solution

How the direction responds to that problem.

The new flow broke setup into smaller guided steps, surfaced progress clearly, and used motion sparingly to reinforce orientation instead of adding distraction.

Tech Decisions

Key implementation choices.

Used route-aware progress states so users always understood where they were in the setup journey.

Introduced lightweight motion only around transitions that improved perceived continuity between steps.

Designed fallback messaging and validation states early so incomplete setups were recoverable.

Media Gallery

Media structure is ready for real screenshots and assets.

Success states

Feedback patterns that confirm progress without slowing down the flow.

Lessons Learned

What this work clarified going forward.

Onboarding improves most when uncertainty is reduced, not when more instructions are added.

Validation, progress, and encouragement should feel like one coherent system.

Motion works best in product flows when it supports confidence and orientation.
