We recently added a "Getting started" page to the AppSignal, which shows new users a page filled with recommended steps to help them get the most out of their AppSignal experience. Some users enjoy having a helping hand when getting started with AppSignal, others prefer exploring our product solo or already have experience with AppSignal.
