3. Similar to #2, with a focus on user feedback. Instead of warnings/additional help provided by us, have user generated comments that can be upvoted/downvoted reddit-style. In this way, the most helpful comments/annotations about this step, as generated by users who have done this before, can be easily seen by the user.

The flashing warning button in the working through steps screen is there to help the user sew more safely. The alert button should be bright red and flash briefly to remind the user to check, so that they have a reminder to help avoid disastrous and annoying mistakes. It does not pop up automatically, because that would reduce efficiency and cause the user to perhaps automatically ignore the alert. Outside of this, there is not much safety in this design. Part of this is because the user does not make any changes to this thing itself other than navigation, which can be easily undone by going back (or forwards, like on the working through steps screen). If you accidentally start a project that you don't want to do, or want to drop a project partway through, you should be able to delete the project from the active projects screen. In order to make this more safe, a single-level undo should be added. Progress can be easily changed on the list-of-steps screen, but this too can be easily undone.
