Onboarding wizard

A 4-step guided setup that gets your first status page, services, and subscribers live in under two minutes.

New signups used to land on an empty dashboard and have to figure out where to start. Today we shipped an onboarding wizard that walks you through the four things every status page needs: name and slug, services to monitor, a custom domain (optional), and your first subscribers.

The wizard has sensible defaults — a starter service called "API", a template for your first incident, and a one-click import from your Google contacts for early subscribers. You can skip any step and come back to it later. Existing customers won't see the wizard.

Early numbers look good: time-to-first-published-page dropped from ~11 minutes to under 90 seconds on average.
