@caroline_clark Congrats on the launch! Just tried it out,
A couple of observations:
1. My use-case involves selecting text and right-clicking on the chrome context bar so it shows up as multiple clicks on the same purple ripple.
2. The demo I'm doing is for inboxpirates, a chrome extension itself, so when I click on a button it takes me to a different tab, I don't see an option to switch the tab mid-way to the current active tab in chrome - is there?
Awesome product though, previously was using a software called shepherd.js and usetiful to accomplish this, it could be a game changer like Loom.
@goforbg Thanks for this thoughtful feedback.
1. I think what you are saying here is that the right click is not showing up inside the demo? Have you tried "Advanced Options" and using a video?
2. Yes, this a challenge. We only capture windows, not chrome extensions themselves. We hacked this a bit with our chrome extension but we used videos and then uploaded them as MP4s. Longer term, we want to invest in a desktop application that can solve this...but it will be a while!
@goforbg thanks for checking us out. Arcade can capture Chrome Extensions, however you may have to capture your demo flows a few different times. For example, today, the extension captures the webpage. If you want to capture UI that's outside of the page (e.g., Chrome's popup widget), you may need to capture that with a screenshot/screencast tool then upload the assets to your Arcade recording. We do this exact technique on our own Arcade on our website: https://www.arcade.software/#how...
@rich_manalang and @caroline_clark that's actually pretty amazing, I'll try the recording it and uploading it as an asset. Thank you!
Such an amazing product and team. We’ve been using Arcade for a while and it really helped us take our product marketing to the next level. It’s so easy to create interactive product demos and share them with customers 😍 Also, Caroline and the whole Arcade team never stop surprising us with new delightful features and their customer support is the best. I strongly recommend Arcade to anyone who wants to stand out with beautiful release notes and product tours! Go, team! 💪
@mboudoukhane THANK YOU Mehdi! You've been an early supporter from the beginning, and honestly I am getting emotional just thinking about the ways that you've supported Arcade in the past year. You are in many ways a role model in terms of great product design, so we're really happy to hear that you like our tool!
@caroline_clark thank you so much for the kind words 💙 YOU are definitely the role model, keep going, Arcade is amazing!!!
I am super excited about this product - i hate having to sit on calls and do demos, and i also hate having to sign up for trials just to get my hands on how the thing actually works and seeing if it really fits my needs. Thanks for building this, and congrats on the launch!!
@britt_joiner Thanks Brittany. It means a lot coming from a Trellian! We should do a demo of your new tool at some point.
@caroline_clark yeah i was actually wondering if there's some way to integrate it with my tip generator, but it kinda demos itself when you click the button for a tip 😂 open to ideas though if you can think of how to use it! (and i do have on my to do list to incorporate this as part of any functional apps i build down the road - have to build those apps, and then have to actually have landing pages explaining them and i get too many ideas i rarely get to that second part. you'd think as an ex-marketer i'd be better at that 😂)
Thanks, @britt_joiner! I've sat in on countless demos and sadly, given countless sales demos over the years myself. What you describe is exactly why we built Arcade. Buying and selling software shouldn't be so painful.
@britt_joiner @caroline_clark oh... I didn't even make the connection. 👋 hi fellow Trellist! I'm an alum!
Stumbled upon an Arcade embed once and it absolutely WOW-ed me!
It helps you "show the product" — in an interactive, elegant format. Will definitely give it a spin at Specify.
@fmerian Thank you! Glad to hear that you came across it. Where did you come across it?
@aleksfaure WOW, Aleks, you just made my day! Thank you 🙏
Also, I'd love to have a quick chat about design systems with you one day.
It's really a fun product to use! Before Arcade I would have to make screenshots by hand, place the tags in a software like Figma and maybe create a design prototype to get a similar result. Another option was to record long videos that would take a lot of time to edit... In either one of those scenarios I couldn't get as good quality and as quick of a demo as I can with Arcade... I'm a big fan!
@thais_s Thanks so much Thais!! Appreciate the support. We're actually going to be building more features with editing with videos....stay tuned. Or email me with feature requests on that (caroline at arcade DOT software)
Incredible product, even better team. Truly one of the easiest, most user friendly products I've ever used. Hands down most excited about the new GIFs feature - I've been (patiently!) waiting for this one!
@milena_wall Thank you Milena and thank you for all your feedback recently, we are blessed to have and your team as customers 🖤
@milena_wall "Truly one of the easiest, most user friendly products..." is 🎶 to our ears. That was super important to us from day one.
@milena_wall Thank you Milena for all your invaluable feedback on the product that got us here!
Congrats on the launch, @caroline_clark! 🙌🏾 Love the brief founding missives ('the lightbulb problem' and 'failure modes') on your blog. :))
@mrakashsharma Thanks! Wow, you really read through the blog. There will be more there soon :) I haven't had as much time to write lately.
@caroline_clark Yess! 🌻 It's excellent. We even featured a post in our newsletter recently. Looking forward to the next one. And we'd love to host you on Relay (a place where we gather earnest field notes from SaaS founders) for an interview someday as well.
Which one? Yeah, I'd love to chat. You have my email (caroline AT arcade DOT software).
this is the Loom of video tutorials, I'm testing Arcade and sharing it with my team. This is AWESOME!
Here is my first attempt -
@daniel_pirciu Thank you Daniel! COngrats for your first Arcade it looks great 🕹
@daniel_pirciu I love your Arcade! Thanks for sharing it :) Where are you planning on hosting it? Check out our Showcase for inspiration: https://www.arcade.software/show...
Looking forward to trying this. Working on a launch plan for an internal B2B product and I think a demo like this will pique interest about the project in a more engaging way than a mass email.
@hibaganta Thank you Hiba! That's a great use case, maybe you'll find some inspiration in our Showcase where AngelList, Atlassian, Carta and many others shared their experience with Arcade https://www.arcade.software/show...
@hibaganta Thanks Hiba! If you are still considering email, Arcades are interactive inside email!
@hibaganta Thank you Hiba! Would love to help in any way we can on your launch plan!
Love this product! We use it to showcase our product and benefits on our website, we use it in our change-log (we make an Arcade for each new product update), and with your latest update we now we also add it to our email newsletter since they work inside mails :O
@thomas_barfred1 Thank you Thomas for your support and we're so happy to you and your team as a customer 💙
I've been a fan of @caroline_clark's vision from day one, and I couldn't be more excited about what they're building — massive congrats to the team!
We love using Arcade at AngelList! It makes it super easy to spotlight new features, document internal processes, and quickly answer a customer question about how to x. I regularly hear from our users how much they learn from the Arcades in our help guide.
Congrats to the Arcade team for building such a stellar product and on the launch!
@tamar_lindenbaum Thanks so much for sharing Tamar! We have loved having your support with us thus far!
«Your product changed? No worries, just update the Arcade and it will automatically update across all your properties.» ◀️ THIS! This is golden!!
Much better than recording videos and GIFs that you need to manually change everywhere if the product changes. Let alone risking confusing users who find an old tutorial on Twitter or something and the UI looks nothing like the current one.
Congrats! 👏👏👏
I ❤️ this product.
A TL;DR from someone who recently joined our team maybe sums it up best: "This is honestly one of the coolest extensions or products on the internet I have ever used."
I use it to demonstrate how to use our SaaS software, and embed this into our product documentation. I think of it like this: if a picture paints 1000 words, then an Arcade creates an interactive guide that explains 100,000 words — in just a few clicks.
What makes Arcade the game-changer for me is:
👍 The recording experience is simple (just do your clicks and the rest is done for you!)
👍 The viewing experience is beautiful: uncomplicated and intuitive
👍 You can embed it anywhere on the web, with no effort
👍 Need to swap in an updated screenshot? Edit once in the Arcade, and everywhere it's embedded is updated!
👍 The attention to detail is top-notch — couple of examples:
👌 a prompt to resize the browser for consistent size every time
👌 ability to go zoom into full-screen through the browser wrap-around
It makes the pixel-perfectionist in me happy, but doesn't require me to spend any time or effort to get that pixel perfection 🥰
So kudos to the Arcade team — I'm always looking forward to all the pleasant little surprises you're continually releasing!
@cgrote Thanks for that, Chris. You've been with us from the start. Thank you for ALL your support. We're so happy that we've been able to build a solution that has been a joy for you and your team to use. ❤️
@cgrote WOW Chris this is amazing feedback. Thank you SO SO much for being a power user and engaging with us every step of the way.
Congrats on the launch! We have been using Arcade at Atlassian for the past year. It has freely helped us show not tell for customers. Looking forward to the next milestones
Thank you, @john_mckiernan! It's been such an honor to have Atlassian as a customer.
@john_mckiernan Thank you so much John for the support! As Rich said, big honor to have you as a customer 💙
@john_mckiernan Thanks John! You've been an incredible supporter of our product. It's a huge honor to have Atlassian as a customer too!
This is so cool!!!
Amazing, how easy it is to prepare a demo!
I'm saving it, cuz I'll need it for my product when the time comes. Congrats on the launch 👏
@andrea_todorova1 Thank you Andrea, wish you all the best in building your product and we will be very honored if you give us a try when the time comes 🕹
Congrats @caroline_clark @rich_manalang and team 🙌 We have been using Arcade since its first launch and it has been a game changer in how we run onboarding, support, and customer success! Congrats on v.2.0 🚀
Thank you, @erbil_yaman! We love having you guys as a customer. It's been great working with Teamble!
@rich_manalang @erbil_yaman Thank you Erbil! Your support as a customer has been invaluable :)
Awesome product built by an amazing team. As an early user, I really enjoy using Arcade to showcase our product on our website or new features within the app. I can't wait to see what comes next!
