Hello again Product Hunt! And thank you Chris for the hunt 🙏 CommandBar exists to help users wield software more powerfully. We think most products could be way easier and faster to use, and our goal is to give product teams the tools to make it so. To date we've focused on giving users the ability to use search to command software through the keyboard, via a supercharged command palette that allows the user to go faster from intent (what a user is trying to do) to action (that action happening). But one thing we've heard from our customers over and over again since we launched last year: what happens before a user has intent? Can we point out a new feature when it's shipped, highlight a trending help article when they rage click, or give them a gentle nudge to upgrade when they experience a magic moment? Today we can help with that problem too: we're launching CommandBar Nudges and Questlists. Nudges are a collection of widgets that can be proactively *pushed* to a user. Today they include modals for new feature announcements, beacons for touring new features, banners for messages, and popovers for showcasing help content or walkthrough videos. Soon we'll launch other nudges, including the ability to run surveys and collect user feedback through CommandBar. Questlists are our take on the onboarding checklist. Whether you're guiding the user through your app's main quest (onboarding them for the first time) or introducing a side quest (like a new feature you think their past behavior suggests they'll be interested in), Questlists are the answer. We've built a bunch of styling tools you can use to make nudges feel 105% native (100% plus hopefully make them look even slicker than the rest of your app 😎). The same user targeting and segmentation that works in our Bar also works for launching nudges and questlists. That includes page-based rules, element-visible rules, conditions using user metadata from Segment, or event triggers. Nudges and Questlists play nice with the Bar. Anything that a user can do through a Nudge or Questlist they can also discover via search in the Bar. Plus, the bar shows all previously seen nudge or questlists. Nudges and Questlists are available today at https://commandbar.com. We really want you to try them so we're adding a new $0 free plan that includes completely unlimited nudges and questlists.

@james_evans5 Killer feature set 💪 Congratulations on your launch

@nikola_zavadska1 this service is insane and on steroids 😆 You got to check it out! SLack like search bar widget to search your product, in-app notifications, and onboarding checklists 🤯

@james_evans5 Already use Command Bar and this can unlock some pretty awesome use cases for us. Question: Either on the nudge or questlist item-level CTA, can I use any existing command or callback that is already defined within CommandBar?

So excited to see this out in the wild!

Super excited to share this with you all! Hope it helps to make your app (and the apps you use) feel like magic 🪄

From command palette to full user-onboarding and in-context app nudges! This is an exciting new area of development for CommandBar!

What an incredible toolkit for user onboarding and education. Cannot wait to get this live in my project!

Wow team. Seems super interesting!! Smoothning the user experience is indeed a best way to retain users :)

All the best for the launch! Will definitely give it a spin over the weekend.

Congratulations on the launch of your new product! It is a great collection of widgets that will help users to onboard, announce features, tour new product experiences, and showcase help content and walkthrough videos. It is configurable without code, customized

I still can't believe we included these in the free plan without usage limits 😅 Can't wait to see how makers will leverage Nudges and Questlists in their products!

looks amazing

Great stuff! I found that proper onboarding is one of the most challenging, yet rewarding, things to get right. This may really help!

So excited to see the public release. This is going to be a game changer for us product managers. Onwards to PLG!

This is so great!! Congrats!!

I didn't want to be a snob, but the landing page does not look convincing... https://share.cleanshot.com/TSvfGd

congrats.

Congrats on the launch! Very much helpful for indie makers.

Nice job @james_evans5! We've been using CommandBar for years at this stage - great product, and it's great to see them expanding into these related use-cases. 🙌🏻
