When users come to our site, they're confronted with a ton of data. A good way to educate users and give an example of what our app could do: show example analyses (i.e. what was the impact of the Market St car closure from 1/29/20 onward?) that deep-link to a part of the app that shows the data behind that analysis. For instance, that Market St story could link to this page, which shows the performance of one Market St bus route after 1/29/20.

This would make our tool much more interactive and easy to pick up, and perhaps stimulate an ecosystem/subreddit where people can post custom stories with writeups and links.

This is a key part of our onboarding story -- making the app more usable and user-friendly to a non-expert. Currently the app suffers what I call the "bank website" problem: the user knows exactly what they want to do, but get a ton of links and have no idea how to work the tool to solve their problem. This use case-based onboarding/intro page would help reduce that.
