Rownd Auth adds frictionless authentication and account creation to all of a brand’s websites with a code snippet. Jamstack, Webflow, Wordpress? No problem! Developers can use profile info locally without server-side calls to customize any site for users.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
🤩 Exciting news! We are sharing snippet-based authentication solutions for websites. ✨
⭐️ Rownd Auth – Frictionless authentication and profile management for any website or webapp with a snippet. We are making this in the open and would love feedback.
The Problem:
Authentication is still largely focused on the application and creates a divide across marketing sites (blogs, landing pages, docs) and the actual webapp where the cool stuff happens. This divide adds needless friction.
== What does Rownd do? ==
🏠The Rownd Hub (a small widget) is your website’s authentication and profile tab. We give end-users a simple way to see their status, what data has been collected, and control over the data.
⚡️ One snippet for websites and an easy SDK for webapps (mobile app support coming soon).
✅ Any site. We work on webflow, wordpress, Jamstack sites fronted by Netlify, custom sites or you can add us to any site you can proxy through cloudflare.
🌉 Across sites. We can work across your websites. If you have a blog in wordpress and a landing page on webflow, auth will follow the user.
🗺️ User profiles can be created over time across sites and the data is available to the browser for fast customizations and personalizations.
⚡️ No more “sign up” page, get your users into your app faster, let them try what you show them on your marketing pages.
🎊 Privacy first - CCPA and GDPR ready
Why us?
We are a bunch of makers who just got sick of the current auth solutions on the market. They either take too long to set up or they offload profile/PII responsibility back to the developer. We wanted an all in one solution that we could use for our projects.
We all come from large IT companies where we did data authentication for some of the largest companies in the US and Europe. We wanted to take that passion for data security and safety and bring it to the rest of the world.
What to expect
Everything is snippet based. We are working on some no-code tools to help set up the auth, but right now you have to modify the actual snippet. We show you how to add auth to any page, how to customize a page based on profile data, and how to send form data to Rownd.
Give us some feedback!
Please give it a whirl. We built our onboarding tool in webflow to show you the power of our new auth. Give it a try! https://rowndauth.com/producthunt. We are free for 14 days and then 50% off for the next year if you try us today! No credit card needed. We would LOVE feedback.
@robert_thelen Congrats on the launch and well done! Adding authentication across a web app, marketing sites and mobile is way too hard still. So this is a massive problem to solve.
Being able to add authentication in a privacy-friendly way without building out back-end infrastructure is a huge win.
Good luck with the launch and Go Rownd! 🚀 🤩
No kidding I just hit this problem trying to come here and interact with this launch on @producthunt itself... Might be worth a peek from @rrhoover or perhaps some on his team?
Wouldn't it be amazing if there were a seamless way for folks launching products here that have a mailing list or landing page could just jump their people directly into an account with ProductHunt?
OK Story time about Auth, UX and customer pain....
Since PH decided to deprecate login with Angellist - I couldnt get into my existing account. "OK I say to myself I guess Ill just have to go login with twitter?" Aha! It created a new separate account @richardiporter1 ! "Well maybe this is just a mobile limitation, maybe tomorrow on my laptop there will be a "Recover my login" path....
Nope, Auth with google (but its a different email than I had used with AngelList - so now I have 3 logins! @richardiporter11
Luckily PH support chat had a human who was able to help and merge my 3 accounts into one - but if there hadn't been... talk about UX pain...
Running into a login screen with only social auth logins without an email fallback or a simple way to jump into my existing account is a risk I wouldnt want to take if I didnt have to. Glad Rownd makes it possible to avoid that friction altogether!
Rownd is making auth effortless and they have gone a long way in a short period of time to make that happen.
Also, get a demo from them if you want to see what an excellent sales process looks like!
I've loved being able to demo this to friends and neighbors. The ability to just be logged in on Jamstack landing page, wordpress blog, React app and docs is pretty powerful to folks who get it.
🚀 Hey Product Hunters! I’m Rachel, Co-founder and Head of Design at Rownd. We’re excited to share Rownd auth with you guys! 🚀
📪 Another great use case for our auth is transforming your waitlists and newsletter subscriber lists into accounts - that way when you invite a user in, they are instantly in their account, increasing onboarding time and user retention for your product. Set up some time if this interests you! 🗓
☎️ Secondly we’re offering SMS auth- allow your users to sign in with the click of a link from a text message, seamlessly and across your sites. 👤💻
💜 Thanks for all your support and feedback this far 💜
Report
I am going to admit. I don't know as much about this space as I should. But I personally know Rob Thelan. I don't know anyone else more passionate about this than him. I know first hand the type of person and founder Rob is and based on that I would check out this launch.
