Dopt — SDKs to build quality product onboarding and education

Hi Product Hunt, I’m Alon, co-founder and CEO of Dopt. We’re the first developer platform for building self-serve product onboarding and feature education. We’re really excited to launch: starting today, you can sign up for free and start building with Dopt. We started Dopt because building great onboarding is hard—you don’t know where to start or what will work. It’s the most important moment in the entire user journey, and yet the existing options suck. We’re no strangers to this; we’ve led growth and product development teams at Dropbox, Amplitude, and Productboard and have spoken with hundreds of teams abandoning brittle and inflexible no-code tools to build in-house. They quickly face two challenges: a ton of upfront time spent rediscovering best practices; and a ton of hidden complexity managing user states, updating flows, and analyzing results. It takes too long to ship, you don’t iterate fast enough to learn what works, and it takes time away from new value you could be building. Rock, meet hard place. So we decided to take a different tack. Dopt is a platform that enables the entire product development team to work together to ship better experiences across the entire user journey: initial setup, onboarding, feature adoption, engagement, announcements, and more. 🔀 A visual flow builder lets the whole team map out targeting, components, content, and branching logic to create cohesive in-product user flows. 🛠️ SDKs and APIs make it easy to develop flows in your app quickly. 🎛️ Build your way — use Dopt’s prebuilt, customizable React components like checklists, tours, modals, and cards that offer best practices out of the box; or use Dopt headlessly and build with your own components. 📊 Built-in analytics give you visibility into your users and how your flows are performing to help you determine how you can improve. 🔌 Native integrations with your analytics and data stack let you target the right users and use your own tools to analyze Dopt-powered experiences alongside the rest of your product. 📈 A scalable and secure platform simplifies the team’s workflow and helps you iterate more by making it easy to deploy, migrate, and restore flow versions and letting non-devs update content and logic without code pushes. Dopt makes it easy to ship great onboarding quickly, learn what works, and iterate more often so you build the right thing and your customers realize the value your product has to offer. Over the last 18 months, we’ve been building Dopt with early customers that understand the benefits of quality—like Superhuman, who built a getting-started checklist using Dopt; or Attio, who built well-integrated product tours; or Outlign, who built a set of educational hotspots across their app. Dopt has helped them ship faster while holding high-quality bars. If you’re working to make your product self-serve, building product onboarding, or focusing on increasing activation or retention, we’d love for you to give Dopt a try (and we’d love your feedback on how we can make Dopt even better)! We’re huge fans of the Product Hunt community, so if you sign up this week and let us know you found us on Product Hunt, we’ll apply a 50% discount on your first three months of charges. We have a generous free tier (up to one thousand monthly tracked users) and super simple usage-based pricing where you only pay for users who actually use Dopt. We can’t wait to see what you build!

I spent a month on onboarding engineering last year for our app, had to build it from scratch as there is no libraries out there that can be used. 😅 If this was for iOS I would use it instantly!

Love this launch! So exciting to see Dopt finally out in the wild. It's so painful for B2B Saas companies to build out onboarding in-house, especially adapting each onboarding to the needs and value each customer should experience. I think Dopt's approach is really a no-brainer for most companies as they think about building onboarding

This looks really cool! What kind of data can you use for targeting? We have our product instrumented with Segment and I’m wondering if we could target based on user action? congratulations @alonbartur !!!

Amazing launch! 🙌 Thanks to Dopt, we shipped our onboarding tours in no time – with our own UI, not clunky widgets 🔥 Kudos @alonbartur & team for shipping an extraordinary product!

Congrats on the launch, Alon and team 🚀 Excited for y'all. I'm hearing great things from the Avo team after we launched our first onboarding tour with Dopt 👏

Congrats on the launch! See huge value in the ability to iterate faster and more confidently in these flows.

Awesome work and vision @alonbartur @phil_vander_broek & team! We've been early users and supporters at Cycle and it's been so impressive how quickly you guys made to quickly deliver on true value. Product activation is really hard today, yet you made it seem ridiculously simple for us 💪 Can't wait to see the product evolve. Well done to the whole team!!

Exceptional work, team! The platform strikes the perfect balance between flexibility and ease of use, making onboarding and tour building a joy for both non-technical and technical users.

We built our own onboarding tours last year because the no-code tools didn’t give us enough flexibility to build what we wanted to, but it ended up being way more work than we expected. Excited to check this out!

Truly a game changer when you start having complex user flows in your app. I don't know how we would have done without Dopt. Congrats for the launch guys!! 🔥

Congratulations on the Product Hunt launch of Dopt! 🎉 As someone who has explored different solutions for tour building and internal onboarding, I can confidently say that Dopt stands out. It strikes the right balance between flexibility and ease of use. Unlike other tools we've tried, we found that Dopt allows us to revisit and update our onboarding process whenever we need to, without any hassle. What's even more impressive is that even our developers are genuinely excited about using it! Kudos to the team behind Dopt for creating a tool that brings joy to both non-technical and technical folks alike. Keep up the great work! 👍

This looks really good thanks for sharing, I will try it out. We are also launching soon a scheduling tool for Zoom check it out here https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

Huge fan of this product! Dopt solves onboarding use-cases with ease and makes engineers happy while building onboarding solutions!

Hello Product Hunt! 👋 This is Phil, co-founder and CPO of Dopt. After two years of building, we’re so excited to share Dopt with you all! Before Dopt, I led Growth Design at Dropbox, where I was responsible for all product onboarding and education experiences. Through my experience, I realized the crucial role of high-quality onboarding and education in creating amazing products. As builders, we often focus on creating new products and features but struggle to help users discover and understand their value. It's a challenging problem! Each user, product, and business has unique considerations. Which features should users learn first? Can a checklist effectively activate a user? Dopt simplifies the process of building product onboarding and education, enabling you to learn what works faster. I'm especially excited about our new pre-built, customizable components like the checklist, tour, and modal. These components allow you to quickly implement proven onboarding and education experiences without sacrificing quality. And we're building more components like cards, banners, and hotspots. If you prefer, you can always use our SDKs with your components. That’s the benefit of being developer-first! I hope that Dopt can help teams create onboarding and education experiences that are more relevant, more user-friendly, and seamlessly integrated into the product experience. Better experiences that connect your users with the value your product offers — the ultimate win-win for your users and your business! I’d love to hear what you think! I’ll be active in the comments all day 😄

Very promising tool, Alon. I saw it in action in Cycle and took a closer look at your docs. We'll check it out. Also love that your pricing model allows extensive testing. Congratulations and all the best for your way!

Very cool product! Actually, I was about do develop something similar on my own for our product, but will now take a look at your product - congrats!

👋 Hi Product Hunt! Product Designer at Dopt chiming in. I'm so proud of what the team has put out so far and it's only the beginning. Looking forward to reading all the feedback for you all!

I LOVE Dopt. I've been using it for mission critical onboarding steps to guide musicians on my platform through the syncing of social and streaming platforms. Dopt allows me to track the progress of each of user, prompt them to complete the next steps, and surface errors when something fails. I haven't used the pre-built components yet but am itching to do so!
