We’ve discovered that ~60% of new accounts spend less that 10 minutes in Fibery and never return. Problems Type concept is hard to grasp. It is very abstract. People don’t understand the difference between View and Type App is a misleading term. App creation is a hard process that demands high lev…

To be honest I think this is a less urgent issue than making the rest of the system more usable. It is important to simplify the onboarding on Type/relation so the Fibery conversion ratio will get better, but it make sense only once the system is more usable in practice, so having: blocks in entiti…

In fact this is almost implemented and we are not going to spend too much time on that.

Almost Done! :crossed_fingers: [New Space (former App) creation flow]

I agree with @rothnic , the New New looks confusing. I’m wondering if the “New x” button will be used at all, it might confuse new users and also might give the impression that’s the main view to work on, not a “configuration” view. I think most users will use this new view for 2 reasons: configure …

I have worked through Michael’s video and translated some of the new object names from the video narration in order to clarify the abstraction for myself.
