Thanks for the curation! Enjoyed learning about the anti-retention perspective. It tracks well with what I have heard from others minus the term. Rahul Vohra from Superhuman talks at length about their onboarding experience and how their goal is not to overwhelm the user at any stage but to incrementally inteodice complexity so as to trigger flow. Microsoft Excel is probably a good example as well. Try doing vlookups and using maceos too early and you may be put off.

And all of this sits well with behavioral science theory on habit-building. That it is not just important to make benefits obvious but also reduce barriers

Monday morning’s are made so interestingly engaging by Pritesh. Commendable job done of educating us.

So much hard work and consistency.

God bless and keep up the amazing work
