Thanks, Sagi, for hunting us! Hi All, I’m Shai, the Co-Founder of http://www.elasticode.com We’re happy to share our side project - HeyUser. HeyUser is a video gallery where app developers, marketers, and product managers can find and share mobile onboarding inspiration. After working with dozens of app publishers, one of the most common questions we faced was: “How do we make the user stick around after that dreaded first session?”. Not at all surprising when you consider an average drop-off of 25% and an ±80% abandonment rate by within the first three days after install. That’s where an excellent introduction product might help. We’ve seen more than one abandonment scenario in which the cause was clearly user frustration and/or confusion when first interacting with the app. We’ve decided to curate hundreds of onboarding experiences to learn from, and educate ourselves on the different strategies they deployed. We’ve seen many different approaches, from simple walkthroughs to a complete registration wizard. Our first try was a screenshot timelapse, but it felt wrong and wasn’t enough when we tried to tell the actual story. So we moved to video, and we’re excited to share it with you. We’ve uploaded the first 100 videos to start with, divided the apps into different categories and finally added different tags, indicating what can be found in each first-time user experience. All videos are shareable, for you to use in your team’s internal discussions regarding the ways to optimize this process. HeyUser was built for the mobile community, and we would love nothing more than to hear from you, so we can make it better with your feedback. Don’t hold back. BTW, if you have an onboarding process you think is worth sharing and we missed it - feel free to ping us at heyuser@elasticode.com, and we’ll be happy to review and share.
