The most challenging aspect of developing the @pixelfed app is the landing/onboarding screen

The first impression and onboarding flow can make or break it

I've studied a few prominent apps, implemented a few improvements, and look forward to shipping our new onboarding experience!

Will the user name limit of 15 characters be lifted? I want to use my Mastodon name.

@dansup @pixelfed Is there a rough timeline when the Android app will be available in the Play Store? I can install/update it manually, but without the Play Store, you miss out on a lot of Pixelfed users.

@dansup a while back I did a case study on dating app UX, where I tried out nearly every popular app on the app store.

Not a single one was without sin in the onboarding. The most common flaw was using the wrong input type for a lot of data (eg, dropdowns for date fields, text fields for numbers, generic input for email, etc)

Theres a balance between taking too much information and too little, and very few walked the line.

@dansup @pixelfed just implement face recognition and a lookup in the government database and the user is automatically identified haha 🙏🤣🎂

@dansup @pixelfed this is fine if you only want users who already use Pixelfed.

If I download an unfamiliar app, I want to explore a bit before I sign up.

If it insists that I sign up before I can do anything at all, then I’m deleting it and never thinking about it again
