[Feature]: Improve/Clean Up Onboarding Wizard

[ikogan]

What problem does this solve?

The current onboarding wizard has some significant bugs and can be a bit confusing/overwhelming. This feature attempts to fix up some of these issues and rework the final screen to both add flexibility and simplify the experience.

Describe the feature you'd like

This is a collection of small improvements to the onboarding workflow:

1. Ensure that the workflow saves settings at every step, rather than once at the end. This way you won't have to re-enter everything if you choose to skip and the things you do enter will be usable even if you skip.
2. Consider reworking the exercise question so it's based on hours rather than days?
3. The text box for your daily colorie budget isn't obviously a text box, styling should be improved to make that obvious.
4. The "Custom" percentages split doesn't actually let you adjust any of the percentages, that should be fixed.
5. Add ability to ignore the "diet preset" altogether to make it obvious that you can just set your nutrient goals in grams below.
6. I'm not sure about how best to do this, but it would be nice to explain the different calculation methods, maybe by linking to some authoritative text on that?
7. Add either a page in the wizard or a section around which nutrients to care about. Some folks really only care about macros and the current layout is a lot.
8. Rework the buttons at the bottom to be a little clearer. Right now, I'm not sure what starting a "6 month cascading plan" means or does. If it just saves those settings, then I think it should just "save" or something similar.
9. Determine what causes the wizard to popup and only start if the user hasn't skipped or some settings are missing. Make it clear why the wizard is appearing.
10. There's no way to skip once you get to the last screen, you have to go back first.
11. The final screen, in calculations, doesn't give you the option for the BMR calculation.

8. I'm not sure what starting a "6 month cascading plan"

This is just goal setting for next 6 months.

7. . Some folks really only care about macros

I wouldn't remove nutrition. but may be you can group them to make them look cleaner.

What happens after 6 months? Does the app do something automatically? Do you get prompted in some way?

Right, I was thinking we could actually ask which nutrients people care about and then hide/show the sections as necessary, this would fill in the nutrient display options that already exist in user settings.

It doesn't prompt again. when I designed this, I wanted users to re-visit this every couple of months so they can adjust as per their need. If you have a way to make it dynamic based on user consumption, weight trend etc,you can give a try.

I re-checked the nutrition page in onboarding screen. Its already grouped properly. I wouldn't try to hide them as I personally would like to see all of them so I can better manage my goals. As this is one time, its fine to leave them there.

We already have display preference settings for nutrition where users can customize the nutrition display for each page. so I wouldn't complicate it in the onboarding page. If you have better way to group, you can fine tune it without hiding/removing the nutrition.
