I would suggest the first step of onboarding should not be the selection of your theme. This is already a long onboarding process and every additional step will lose you users. When you build something you're technically proud of, it makes sense you'd like to show it off, but you have to evaluate its relative importance to your public.

I didn't mind the number of steps, at least is not asking for creating a user before trying. But I'd replace the theme selection with currency selection, much more relevant.

Great point! Currency selector coming soon. Would you recommend demoting the theme selection to like a last step in the onboarding process? Or not showing it at all during onboarding and leaving it for users to find on their own?

Introduce features to users as they continue to use the tool. They don't need to know everything as soon as they start using it, and you want to have the ability to introduce new features later on anyways!

I know, I thought that was weird: "Here's a personal finance website, first things first: what's your favorite web scheme out of these 16..." ¿Como?
