and think about what our KPIs are, which are broadly something like this

so we are saying the same thing. we need to explicitly model the new user experience
and everything is implicit
every single part of the site is oriented towards someone who already understands the 6529 ecosystem end to end
etc etc
why should you set one up?
how do you set up a profile?
if so, where is it?
is there a pathway from the home page to start really participating in waves?
not just on subscriptions
all of it is currently missing
Before the HOW deal with the WHY - problem then solution? What problem does owning/subscribing memes solve then on to how it solves it (mint/buy/subscribe)? Or is the assumption that once landed they have identified the why ?
let alone figure out what they are going to do afterward
Not a single 2026-era web user is going to read all that
The conversion rate of this page will be literally 0%
and STILL no place to click through to do anything
you get this wall of text, literally wall of text
https://6529.io/about/subscriptions
even if you then find the "subscriptions" page in our "documentation" style section, as if "subscription is a FAQ for a configuration menu"
but right now it is closer to 0%/100%
ideally, 70% of our efforts is on them and 30% on optimizing the current user experience
but how do we permanently represent the needs of the not-current-user
so the conceptual / structural point I am trying to raise is not "add a button"
so we are effectively only considering the needs of the 100-500 more intense super users
at the table giving tech feedback
there is no 'representative' of the people who are not in the network yet
but obviously we should not have developed subwaves before we fixed the subscription flow
which is fine, glad to have them
we have, for example, subwaves
we are developing for the 200 super-fans
of the following nature
is obviously evidence of a deep blind spot
and that fact that all of us collectively most responsible me have gotten this far without realizing "no permanent subscribe button"
it is still a failing grade
so it is not yet time to open the champagne
later, when we have a subscribe button, we will have gotten to 5/100
today we score on "appropriate call to action on our home page" as 0/100
and I am trying to get everyone on the right page
it is necessary but it is not nearly sufficient
of course today we should add a subscribe button.
of how you bring someone in
there is a deeper task/thinking we need to do
but what I am trying to communicate is not that like this is a 5 minute task to "add the subscribe button"
obviously we are developmentally challenged that we don't have a permanent "Subscribe" button
is not an easy issue
this is a big complicated issue
to bring them in
informational, psychological, transactional
what are the steps that need to happen
d someone clicks through to 6529 dot io
I go out and tweet
