“I usually go to a popular app and a similar app within the same niche and I look at the layout of their app and I take the elements from it and adapt it to my app so I don't copy it the exact same... try not to reinvent the wheel just take what's working from their app adapt it a little and change it up.”

Steal Onboarding Layouts From Category-Leading Apps Then Twist Them For Your Niche

Ethan designs onboarding by lifting structure from incumbents like Cal AI and Duolingo, since their flows reflect years of A/B testing he could never afford. Adapt rather than copy verbatim, then add a niche twist so the screens feel native to your audience. Stand on the shoulders of teams who've already tested every onboarding pattern.
