WRITING THE ONBOARDING EXPERIENCE
Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter
Digital product design guides users from the first screen with clear interfaces and thoughtful writing that teach interaction patterns. Onboarding is key and works best when it sets expectations, offers early value, and shows progress. Great onboarding respects the user by keeping things optional, allowing guest access, and sometimes skipping explanations to let the interface speak for itself.
