I took a step back from marketing to work on onboarding for a week. The reason was that I was actually getting a good amount of signups, but most were not sticking around for more than a couple of days.

The classic problem of PKM tools is that they are either a blank slate or filled with content too generic to be useful. That makes onboarding hard.

I attempted to mitigate this with prebuilt notebooks around specific topics. People seem to use them, but they are not having the intended effect of being helpful.

Spent a bit of time revising the software development notebook as that was the most commonly used one.

It used to be just a collection of random notes I had, which now seems obvious are not useful to many people.

Now I have sections explaining the random notes and how people can use that as inspiration for their own note taking.

I also have new sections for notes from when I was learning new technology so people can use that as inspiration as well.

I suspect some people may be adding this notebook wanting to learn to code which is not what it provides. I am looking into adding that in the future.

Here is a screenshot of the new notes.
