How would you set up an app like this: 1. A couple of onboarding screens explaining what the app does (pure textual, no user input) 2. Sign up screen 3. Enter the app (as loggedin user) Do I use “public” in my privacy settings? (instead of public with email) Curious to your approach… ---

You still use public with email, but use a column as your condition to show/hide the Sign Up tab and the other tabs. On your Sign Up tab, let’s say you have 3 steps, then the 1st step would be linked to the 2nd step by a link to screen \> this item button, same for the transition between the 2nd and 3rd. Then on your 3rd step, which will contain your Sign Up entry fields, add a button with an increment action in the flow to increment the condition column. ---

But when users download the app (add to homescreen) and open it for the first time, they always get a “Welcome” screen, right? Where they need to fill in their email. I want to offer an onboarding experience before that Welcome screen. Possible? ---

Use Public, but still control tab visibility based on the user profile, such as checking that the user profile email is the signed in user, or checking if a profile value is not empty. That way you can show only the information you want, and then provide a button with a sign in action. Once they sign in then they will have a user profile row that you can use to control the visibility of other tabs. ---
