An empty dashboard can make a working app feel broken. Before inviting users, decide what a brand-new account shows: one clear setup action, an example clearly marked as sample data, or both. Test it from a fresh account—not your fully configured admin view.

I build this tool, so my first guess was the interface.
Made it simpler.
Fewer screens, bigger button.
Shortened the onboarding too, which helped nothing but felt productive.
The freeze stayed.
