Show HN: Flows – User onboarding for modern SaaS
flows.sh
After creating a color palette toolbox for UI designers (https://atmos.style) we needed an onboarding solution. We had to either use a rigid product like Appcues and settle for subpar experience. Or write a lot of code to get something beautiful. We settled on an IntroJS, primarily because we didn’t want to spend a ton of money on the solution and because we liked the customization options. The solution worked, however we knew there was a room for improvement. We searched everywhere and realized there are no really good tools for onboarding. So we decided to build it ourselves.
We want Flows to be a platform where you can create any onboarding experience you can imagine with simple UX and beautiful UI. Currently, we support floating elements like modals, tooltips and banners. These can be setup with waiting and branching logic to accommodate complex onboarding experiences.
Currently, we have a JavaScript SDK with built-in analytics, but you can also integrate with any of your favorite analytics tool like Mixpanel or PostHog.
In the future we will be adding support for static elements like cards, checklists, as well as support for completely custom elements. React SDK is coming soon. But we’d also love to hear what you’d like to see in your ideal onboarding tool.
Flows have a generous free tier so give it a spin and let us know what you think! https://flows.sh
