Prompt
Plan the first-run onboarding for my app. The app: [WHAT IT DOES] New users are: [WHO THEY ARE] The moment they "get it" is when they: [THE KEY ACTION, E.G. CREATE THEIR FIRST PROJECT] What we need from them: [SIGN-UP INFO, PERMISSIONS, ETC.] Give me: 1. The fewest screens needed to reach that key moment, in order, with the copy and the one action on each. 2. What to ask for later instead of up front. 3. Where to use an example or sample data so the app isn't empty. 4. How a user can skip and come back. 5. 3 things to measure to see if onboarding works (as names of events to track, not made-up numbers).
