This is helpful feedback. You have to download the Blockstack Browser in order to communicate with the blockchain for registering your name and zone file. However, you should be able to get up and running in just a couple minutes. Any suggestions for specific improvements?

Larry from Blockstack here.

We're really focused on improving the on-boarding process for users who are new to the Blockstack ecosystem so it only takes on a few seconds for users to get started with a Blockstack app instead of immediately asking users to download and install the Blockstack Browser.

There's a bit of a discussion about how this will work on mobile here: https://forum.blockstack.org/t/blockstack-mobile-plans/3621/...

We want to really reduce the friction of on-boarding new users to amazing apps like Graphite.

There's two separate things: demonstrating, and onboarding.

Installing Haskell for development takes a few minutes. But you don't need to do that to see how Haskell works, you can just use the interactive prompt on the website: https://www.haskell.org/

My point in your case, is to suggest the idea of an in browser blockstack/Documents demo. It wouldn't get you the decentralised guarantees that you get with the proper blockstack browser, but might give people a taste enough to be interested. Could be a lot of engineering effort though!

If I give a try to a similar product, I want it to be as easy as: https://framapad.org/

Then I can sign up, and so on.

Thanks. Unless I'm missing something, Framapad and Etherpad are centralized services. Graphite is decentralized.

Yes. The ease of experience is what i look for, not the same features. We all get a decentralised service is harder to setup.
