onboarding

[ryanmuller]

thoughts:

• create "how to use learnstream" course with one or two items
• popover: give instructions for forking the course
• popover: that explain the scheduling
• open the first item
• popover: how to complete
• popover: how to delete course

Just occurred to me... we should do this google-style. Like: each user has a new hash-serialized db column, with things like

{ :message_name => { :text => "forking is...", :status => 'accepted' } }

For new features, do a popover with some info, and buttons for "Remind me later" / "Ok, I got it!". Clicking the button updates in the db, and the message isn't shown again.

This would allow us to track which users have reached which part of the onboarding sequence, and we could even do a/b testing with different messages once we get more user volume.
