You missed my point, the app itself is not bad, I did check it, in fact it is awesome.
But the best app is useless when the newly onboarded users are not taken care of and babysitted in their next steps. Without this support - which is time consuming and requires also a true willingness from the mentee - there will be just another inactive user.
I checked some random new users (e.g. here), most of them were not even followed by their onboarders, and none had done a single comment, upvote let alone a longer intro post or follow up post (apart a few distriator-generated copy&paste posts).
If that is the users you want, then I have to tell you: we need growth, but a real sustainable growth. And I have no good solution for this.
I would need to say more than I have time now, but the solution is not to add yet another app. Soon we have more apps than active users!

I can not speak for everyone who is using the checkinwith.xyz,
But in our current use case we are attempting to onboard with a utility first approach. We are trying to get people in the town to get accounts so that they can get the benefits of the distriator rebates.
Our current focus is not on the blogging aspects. We are talking about blogging, but I am saying to people I onboard to consider these accounts there spend accounts.
We are encouraging the purchase of HBD so that they can have access to the rebates.
This is an iteration.
We don’t know if it will work.
But our idea is, get people enjoying the utility of hive tools and maybe they want to learn and explore more.
So far we have moved over 200$ of HBD into the system in these trials, and we really are only in testing phase.
The month of July we will move into full action phase.
We are tracking metrics and will give reports throughout this trial.
I’m interested in retention for sure.
I guess a question is, if the person is buying hbd and using the spend hbd tools, but not posting blogs… are they still considered retained? Is this not also good pumping hbd spending?
We are committed at this Hive Hub experiment to keep trying things, keep iterating, keep publishing what we discover.
But we are here, in the mix, really trying and learning as we do.
My hope is that others do their own experiments, try their own way of onboarding. At the end of the day…. We need more people’s actions and less of people’s opinions and words.
That may seem like a jab, but my intention is to say a true statement and not point it at you directly.
I appreciate the fact that different people are trying different things. E.g. I help @samostically onboarding new chess players on Hive, so far I have created app. 15 accounts, several of them have started blogging and are playing for our Hive chess team which is a completely different approach to create some visibility.
Nice, that sounds a great way to onboard. I really like niche reasons to onboard, so a chess player onboarding initiative sounds brilliant to me✊
