Onboarding

DraftLast checked Mon Oct 26Owner Param

Answer

Onboarding takes a founder from a pasted link to a first hand-off: paste, sign in, watch the read, answer three questions, see the reveal, then heart one, make one, hand off one.

Step What the build does Source
1 Paste One box and Build my feed; a name instead of a link is refused inline docs/handover/product/02-user-journeys.md:7 brew-qa-status-2026-10-19.md FEED-QA-26
2 Sign in Google; only the brand's own email, an invite or staff; three new brands a day per person auth.js:31 public/app.js:276 build.js:222-225
3 Reading Steps open, brand, catalog, reviews, ads, site, answers, each with a real finding SPEC.md:92
4 Questions Five on the reading screen: seat, what first, channels, lead products, rivals; answers kept per person public/questions.js:36-40 memory brew-v2-onboarding
5 Setup Check what we read, seat, want, connect, team; a refresh reopens the same step public/app.js:764
6 Claim The first person with the brand's email owns it; starting a read never claims memory brew-access-rules
7 Plays start Only on the first feed open; reminders at 3 hours and a day; "your first Plays are ready" email build.js:239 confirm-remind.js:114 build.js:395
8 Invite Onboarding ends with Invite your team; same domain colleagues join SCOPE.md:24

Other ways in:

Who Today Source
Invited teammate Invite email, join page, the brand memory brew-team-jams
Shopify store Install from Shopify; the store's domain picks the brand; installer is owner if unclaimed shopify-app.js:3 memory brew-shopify-app-review
Closed store Read from the admin, team only until it opens memory brew-closed-store-gate

The 25 Oct audit counted about 11 screens or overlays and up to 14 choices before the first card, with six skip labels brand-directions/book/content/d1.js d-5 ob-ten-minutes.

Tomorrow

Item Version Tag What it is
Paste and sign in v1 Stays Same order, restyled
Three quick questions during the read v1 New What you handle, your next big moment, one thing you never want to post; each answer visibly sharpens the picks brand-directions/BRIEF.md 3.5
Five full screen questions v1 Goes Their data paths stay
The reveal, Here's your store v1 New One sourced, shareable finding, then the picks
Check page v1 Changes Optional, inside What we know about you, no timer; the claim must still happen
Setup steps, ready overlay, swipe tuner, welcome card v1 Goes Connect and invite move to Settings
First win bar v1 New Heart one, make one, hand off one, shown in the first week only
One skip label, Skip v1 Changes Six become one
Memory meter v1 New How much we know about the store, never results

How we do it

  1. Time five first runs on production, paste to first hand-off, before quoting ten minutes anywhere.
  2. Test outsider paths after any auth change: a Gmail account must see the wall.
  3. Never start a full read only to test onboarding; use a partial run or the demo memory feed-for-all-brands.

Numbers

Step Counts Where measured Status
Pasted Build my feed taps with a valid address Build requests Proposed
Signed in Work emails accepted; refusals counted apart Visitors log since 23 Oct Proposed, log exists memory brew-access-rules
Read finished Reads that complete all seven steps Build status Proposed
First heart, make, hand-off Each within the first session Decision log Proposed
Second Monday Opens the next Monday Feed opens Proposed

Open

  1. Which three questions? Proposal: the brief's three, and keep lead products as an optional Settings row.
  2. Does an invited teammate get the questions? Proposal: only Which of these do you handle.
  3. Can an agency start a read for a client? Proposal: not until the brand invites them.
  4. The Shopify home says the first read takes about half an hour. Proposal: time it inside Shopify and use the same words as the web.
