Making it easier to Stake It Out 1
I’ve listened to the feedback I’ve received from you and have now hopefully improved the usability of StakeItOut for new users. Thanks everyone for the very constructive feedback.
It has not been obvious what to do once you’ve signed up. To improve this, I’ve added 3 step displays on various screens, to guide you through the first part.
We still need to do more and also do some screen casts showing various common usage scenarios.

It’s really easy, especially flying solo, to get trapped into the “power-user” mindset. The designer tends to think “well, this is how I would lay things out given I already know exactly what each button does”.
But you have to teach users the “Pelle” way of doing things; and I think the best way to do this is through enabling experimentation and not punishing “wrong” choices.
Another thing to consider, especially with marketing web applications, is showing the user why they should care as quickly as possible. If I don’t understand how this is going to help me within 1 minute; I’m not going to take the time to even consider learning the “Pelle” way; I’m already gone.
