Pinterest home page and sign up
- Could not figure out how to switch the site to English, so all screenshots will be in Dutch
- I like the moving background. It also matches with the topic presented in the main window which is a nice touch
Some other details
- No visual indication how long the onboarding process will be from here
- I like it that the form is very short and clear
Pick some things you like
- Based on my chosen gender, which is good
- Once you start picking categories, a progress bar starts to fill up in the bottom of the screen
- I need to pick at least 5 categories before I can continue
Follow friends from Facebook or Twitter
- I like the way the empty state is covered with random drawn faces
- Clicking Facebook or Twitter toggles the screen and I have to connect Facebook and/or Twitter to find friends
- There is a
skip
button for lonely people (like me) - On skipping I’m getting an alert to warn me that I won’t see updates and projects from everyone
Install the Pinterest button in your browser
- For extra easy sharing, install the Google Chrome bookmarklet
- On skipping, an alert is shown: without the button it is harder to share things to Pinterest.
- After this step a very brief “we’re configuring your account” view is shown
The Pinterest feed
- I still have to confirm my e-mail
- I see all kinds of interesting pictures, based on my selection earlier
