Warpcast onboarding flow as of August 1, 2024 I've seen an uptick in casts talking about improving onboarding for non-crypto-people. So here's a live onboarding I just did. I'd say it's pretty close to any web2 experience with the exception of upfront payment. You'll notice: 1. Minimal crypto UX — we use in-app purchases and Passkeys 2. The majority of onboarding interests used to populate the initial algo feed are non-crypto. 3. Since we no longer do initial follows, the initial feed nudges new users to follow more people. (Remember, the number one reason people churn is not enough content in their feed.) 4. Aside: crypto people don't sync contact book but non-crypto people do (because every other social app does this). However, that means the new people don't immediately find people they know the network.

@baubergo-
What I was talking about yesterday is exactly this… The first interaction non-crypto people have is immediately being asked to pay a fee. Can't you introduce some of the experience before that? Maybe offer a “test drive” where users can access the app in a “read-only” format or show a video/photos carousel highlighting interactions and features. There could be a “skip” button if users want to bypass it (like in those video game cutscenes). I'm pretty sure many people close the app when they see the charge fee right at the start.

We offered free sign ups and retention was super low (basically 0). Our sense is most people who come and stick around get referred by a friend or colleague that's a big promoter of Farcaster.
