Creating a circle seems a bit convoluted (especially having to search for people to add). Would it be possible to provide a list somewhere in the Dashboard of people I follow and enable create a circle from there?

And, if I start to create a Circle from the prompt in the dashboard, immediately show people I follow at the same time as prompting me to enter a name for the Circle.

Replies: working how how to reply seems trickier than it should be.

The speech bubble icon signifies "message" to me, rather than "reply". Consider making some of the "No replies yet. Be the first to share your thoughts" text clickable - and especially the large version of the reply icon (remove the ... so it's identifcal to the smaller version of the icon) so people can learn this signifier a bit more easily?

Usability feedback re. Circles. It's a while since I read the notes on this release of Bonfire, and now I'm prompted to create a Circle it's not clear to me: what is a circle and how is different from a group?
Consider how some of this info could be made clearer in the UI:

> "A circle is simply a list of people. Bonfire comes with some default circles, like “guests” and “people I follow,”

Perhaps show existing circles in the landing page, so people can see what already exists at the same time they're prompted to create circles?

> and you can also make your own, like “friends”, “classmates”, “monster movie fans” or “people who don’t like monster movies.”

Perhaps include thes examples in the prompt to create circles. I note this prompt currently reads "create circles to organise people you follow" but I haven't yet followed anyone, so this seems a bit premature.

I have a feature request related to creating an account. I'm happy to post that in Github if that's best - but not sure which repo! Or is there a better place for user feedback and requests?
