This is exactly what client developers need to do to see how bad the experience 
is. I've learned a lot from such experiments in the past, and tried to cover 
the results in Easy*.

That's an awesome idea! Please do it! 

I've tried to create such a landing page for newcomers with 
https://yax.im/i/#[email protected] but it needs a bit more polish and especially a 
curated per-platform client list in which Easy Onboarding is implemented.

And then you get the account creation "wizard" that's almost impossible to 
operate, even for seasoned xmpp users.
