Show a helpful empty state when the home document has no content:

// In the document view component
{document.isEmpty && (
  <EmptyHomeState>
    <WelcomeCard>
      <h2>Welcome to your new site! 🎉</h2>
      <p>Here's what you can do next:</p>
      
      <ActionCard onClick={startEditing}>
        <Icon>✏️</Icon>
        <Title>Start writing</Title>
        <Description>Click anywhere to begin editing your home page</Description>
      </ActionCard>
      
      <ActionCard onClick={copyProfileLink}>
        <Icon>🔗</Icon>
        <Title>Share your profile</Title>
        <Description>Copy your profile link to share with others</Description>
      </ActionCard>
      
      <ActionCard onClick={openPublishDialog}>
        <Icon>🚀</Icon>
        <Title>Publish your site</Title>
        <Description>Make your site accessible on the web</Description>
      </ActionCard>
    </WelcomeCard>
  </EmptyHomeState>
)}

Pros: Non-intrusive, disappears once they add content, clean design

Cons: Easy to miss if they don't look carefully

Use a lightweight tour library to highlight key UI elements:

// After onboarding completes
if (isFirstVisit) {
  startTour([
    { element: '#editor', message: 'Click here to start writing' },
    { element: '#share-button', message: 'Share your profile with this link' },
    { element: '#publish-button', message: 'Publish your site when ready' },
  ])
}

Pros: Interactive, guides attention to actual UI elements

Cons: Can feel intrusive, requires tour library

Add a dismissible checklist that stays visible until completed:

<OnboardingChecklist>
  <ChecklistItem completed={hasEditedDocument}>
    ✏️ Edit your home document
  </ChecklistItem>
  <ChecklistItem completed={hasSharedProfile}>
    🔗 Share your profile link
  </ChecklistItem>
  <ChecklistItem completed={hasPublishedSite}>
    🚀 Publish your first site
  </ChecklistItem>
</OnboardingChecklist>

Pros: Clear progress tracking, can be dismissed

Cons: Takes up screen space, adds complexity

Add a starter template directly in the home document:

# Welcome to your site! 👋

You can edit this page by clicking anywhere. Here's what you can do:

- **Edit this page**: Just click and start typing
- **Share your profile**: [Copy link](#)
- **Publish your site**: Make it live on the web

Delete this text and start creating!

Pros: Immediate context, shows editing works, can include examples

Cons: User has to delete it, might feel cluttered

Show tooltips that appear on specific UI elements on first visit:

<Tooltip 
  open={isFirstVisit && !hasClickedEditor}
  content="Click anywhere to start editing your home page"
>
  <Editor />
</Tooltip>

Pros: Minimal, contextual, progressive disclosure

Cons: Might be too subtle, hard to orchestrate timing

Use Option 1 (Empty State) as the primary approach, with:
