The new onboarding went live after the paywall.
The paywall was not the end of setup. A person who chose to continue still needed to reach a usable product state. The new flow handled the steps between that decision and the first working session.
The sequence needed to recognize an existing account, a new account, and somebody returning after leaving the process unfinished. It also had to keep the subscription state aligned with access so a person did not pay and then arrive at a locked screen.
The team tested the flow from a clean browser session. That removed saved state from earlier builds and made it possible to see the same screens a new person would encounter.
The release included the current application around the onboarding. Shipping them together reduced the chance that the new sequence would direct somebody into a page built for an older product state.
The work continued after launch. Feedback from the first pass was gathered into a release ticket, and the team scheduled a regular product demonstration and discussion session.
The private archive contains payment configuration, account records, bugs, and internal release details. None of those appear here. This article does not publish customer information, pricing results, or company metrics.
The public-safe event is the release checkpoint. On June 29, the new app and the post-paywall onboarding flow were live.
That statement came from the release channel after the team had verified the production path. It did not mean every onboarding decision was final.
The next round of work included clearer daily tasks, simpler naming, and fixes found during the first use of the released sequence.
The important boundary is that the flow was no longer only a design or staging build. A person entering Goodword after the paywall could move through the new onboarding in production.
