I found this site https://www.useronboard.com/ to be quite a useful resource for looking at the on boarding process.

Came here to say this. Can't recommend useronboard enough.

Ahahaha, and this is how I was greeted on it: https://i.imgur.com/YRCiRfU.png

Do as you say or what that saying was...

According to your screenshot you are inside an article, on the last slide. So that's not how it greets you on the actual website. Did you go to this url: https://www.useronboard.com/?

I visited the site, clicked on Apple Music, then a lot of images flickered around and the popup appeared. If I do it again now, it shows me a "like us on twitter" popup instead.

Do you use NoScript? I just tried with that and I experience the same as you describe.

I block third-party javascript of course. The popup's scripts worked fine.

uxarchive is another good one http://uxarchive.com/tasks/onboarding

Along similiar lines, my company is running an ongoing series of teardowns that pick out user experience obstacles on well known websites. We do a pretty rigorous analysis, both for onboarding and everything else.

So far we've done a saas product (http://www.smoothconversion.com/blog/mouseflow-web-funnel-te...) and a big media site (http://www.smoothconversion.com/blog/everyday-health-web-fun...). More are in the pipeline.

while on onboarding is there any plugin/gem for ruby on rails that makes it easier to create a guided on boarding ?

you mean a guided tour of the page and highlighting elements? There are a few here https://www.designernews.co/stories/15273-a-list-of-product-...

I'm so very sorry.

Making a good first run involving BlueTooth pairing is... a challenge to say the least.

My team spent over 2 months trying to design a good flow. We failed. We still meet regularly to try and improve it, but we are never sure how successful we can be.
