Thanks for the feedback, I totally agree with this. We often see this mindset but its a matter of education or push the product from non-technical teams.
That’s a typical feature you can add to your signup flows: asking where did you hear about us, the user role, etc. To better qualify users and focus on the ones that matter: triggering email sequences, displaying different walkthroughs, etc.
We’ve noticed that before and that’s a situation, unfortunately, a bit out of our control. Sometimes we try to request those blacklist sites to remove sdk.arengu.com but without much success.
Allowing developers to host the asset would be a workaround, but that can end up with unexpected issues when we update it. We already had in mind the DNS approach but still analyzing potential security issues before moving forward.
Thank you very much for the feedback and if you want to give Arengu a try, feel free to ping me :)
Yes, you can replace those plugins with Arengu and make it reusable across different sites or technologies. Happy to chat when you want to give it a try!
Gold integrations are Salesforce and Hubspot. You’re right we will clarify that as it’s a bit confusing.
Regarding USD we’re supporting it in the next weeks :)
This is a really interesting use case. If you use Stripe, you can use the Stripe Customer Portal to allow your users to handle subscriptions, update users' information, billing details, etc: https://www.arengu.com/tutorials/passwordless-authentication...
Anyway, there are many boilerplate SaaS blocks that might make sense to explore for Arengu, but currently we're focused on signup and onboarding flows/screens.
I get your point and yes, a basic sign-up or login flow can take a few hours to code using a framework. But when you start adding features like OTPs, social login with account linking, conditional logic, data validation, 3rd party widgets to verify identity or link bank accounts, automations to send a welcome email, store the data in your CRM, etc. And as you grow, more things come up and that's when this starts to get messy and most of the time you regret reinventing the wheel.
Thank you very much for the feedback! Yes, we see the pain on small teams and also on big companies with complex flows or when they want to scale user acquisition.
Can you provide an example of the template Q&A flows? You mean the onboarding screens?
Btw, we've just fixed the API key for the payment flow, thanks for reporting :P
This Jacobo, cofounder of Arengu, today we are launching Arengu in Product Hunt and I’ve also decided to write a blog post telling you about our journey building Arengu from scratch, the idea behind it and our vision. I hope this could inspire and help other founders!
As a quick context, Arengu is a SaaS that helps you to build all your sign-up logic without coding and streamline user onboarding by using your existing APIs or authentication systems.
A few highlights:
- Drag & drop editor: Build flows and forms in no time & with no code.
- Use cases templates: Registration flows, adaptive sign-up flows, passwordless flows, OTP email/SMS flows, social login, etc.
- Low-code: Reduce development time, maintenance & costs.
This is Jacobo, one of the cofounders @ Arengu. I am looking to receive some feedback of what we've been working for the last months.
We've created Arengu to help building and scaling your sign-up process without dealing with complex integrations or wasting valuable development resources.
Unlike other online form builders, Arengu allows you to connect your forms with any API and execute actions at different stages of your form. This is specially useful to cover advanced uses cases like a multi-step form with SMS verification, verify if an email is valid or if it's already registered in your system, validate data against 3rd party services, sign up users or authenticate them with your API, etc.
How we do this?
- We have a flows module where you can visually build your business logic: native integrations, custom HTTP requests, if/then conditions, etc. Validation flows need to finish with a return response action with a success or failure message that will be automatically mapped to your form.
- Inside our drag & drop form builder, you can trigger flows at different stages of your form: between form steps, before submission or after submission. As an example, if your flow validates users email (valid MX record) and someone provides a fake email, it will show an error message on the browser but, if the user provides a good email, it will allow the user to continue to the next form step or submit the form.
When Arengu is useful?
- As a SaaS boilerplate. When you start building a new SaaS there is always a bunch of non-core features that you always need to develop: registration and login forms, recurring payments, task automation like sending welcome emails, notifications, email subscription, etc. Arengu helps you building all of this without development overhead so you can focus on your core app.
- To scale user acquisition campaigns. Sometimes marketing teams need to create loads of landing pages with a sign-up form and they ask dev team for help. Arengu allows them to reuse that form in as many landing pages as they want with just a line of code without dealing with technical complexity.
Our short-term plan includes
- Adding a landing page module to easily create static pages based on a HTML template with editable content (HTML, text or images).
- Support main social login providers (Facebook, Google, etc).
- Adding workspaces to organize your account.
- Support styles on form editor.
I'd love to know what you think about the product, if there is something you don't understand, if you are missing some features, etc. Any feedback or comments will be really appreciated as this is very important for us to keep improving and offering the best experience for our users.
Also I am available to schedule free 1:1 meeting to help building sign-up flows with Arengu, you can email me to jacobo.vidal[at]arengu.com
