19 users in 4 days. My onboarding is catastrophic.

Yesterday was my biggest day yet. 5 new signups in a single day.

I opened the analytics feeling pretty good about myself. Most of my traffic is coming from IndieHackers and Reddit. Turns out documenting the build in public is the thing that moves the needle most.

Then I looked at the conversion rate. Most users sign up but don't subscribe. Way too few of them are converting.

I have to admit that my onboarding is shit. Sign up -> paywall. That's it. No context, no setup, no moment where the user actually understands what they're getting.

I use PostClaw every day to schedule my own content across X, Reddit, Threads. I know exactly what it does and why it works. I completely forgot that everyone else starts completely blind.

The fix: add a few onboarding steps before the paywall. Ask questions to personalize the experience, show people what they'll get, let them feel the value before I ask for money.

Working on that today.
