First use
From opening on a passage, a prayer or a question box with nothing asked, through a first page of places to start, guest use and a short tour, to questions first and payment before the first use: decide what a new person must give, and when, before they reach what they came for.
Research-informed design proposal · draft for review107 · Habits and spiritual formationCheck-ins and assessments
From a few setup questions that only shape what the app suggests, through a daily check-in, a gifts inventory and a church survey, to a spiritual score as a warning case: decide what each question is for, what is kept, who sees a result, and how much the result claims to know.
