I’ve seen a lot of people build no-code apps successfully, but many get stuck when it comes to user onboarding after sign-up.

How do you design a smooth **first-time user experience** so new users actually understand how to use the app after creating their account?

Do you rely on in-app tutorials, welcome emails, tooltips, or something else?  
Would love to hear what’s worked for you!

hi @Theo.. the best way is to have a learning section with 4-6 loom videos (2 mins) each on how to use the app.. once all are marked as read, the entire app (all other pages open up)
