What’s your favorite onboarding experience from a product (that you actually kept using)?

We’re in the thick of redesigning onboarding for a new consumer app—trying to make that first minute actually count. Not just informative, but compelling enough that people actually stick around and use it again.

Too many products treat onboarding like a tutorial. And it becomes easy for the user to view it as just another hurdle to “get through” instead of a moment to get set up for a positive experience. Swipe, swipe swipe, go...

One that's really stuck with me that others are probably familiar with: Notion. It's great because doesn’t talk at you. It builds with you. The best part? You end up with a personalized workspace you can actually keep using, if you want. At least in my experience, that is pretty rare.

So I’m curious:

What product nailed onboarding for you?

What made it work—clarity, speed, personality, something else?

Did it feel helpful, delightful, or just out of the way?

Always looking for examples that do more than just check the box. Thanks for reading!
