Thanks for the feedback, I totally agree with this. We often see this mindset but its a matter of education or push the product from non-technical teams.

That’s a typical feature you can add to your signup flows: asking where did you hear about us, the user role, etc. To better qualify users and focus on the ones that matter: triggering email sequences, displaying different walkthroughs, etc.

Thanks for the feedback!

We’ve noticed that before and that’s a situation, unfortunately, a bit out of our control. Sometimes we try to request those blacklist sites to remove sdk.arengu.com but without much success.

Allowing developers to host the asset would be a workaround, but that can end up with unexpected issues when we update it. We already had in mind the DNS approach but still analyzing potential security issues before moving forward.

Thank you very much for the feedback and if you want to give Arengu a try, feel free to ping me :)

Yes, you can replace those plugins with Arengu and make it reusable across different sites or technologies. Happy to chat when you want to give it a try!

Gold integrations are Salesforce and Hubspot. You’re right we will clarify that as it’s a bit confusing.

Regarding USD we’re supporting it in the next weeks :)

Thanks for the feedback and questions!

Just curious, What was the company about (eg. fintech)? I totally agree with this, thanks for sharing your experience!

This is a really interesting use case. If you use Stripe, you can use the Stripe Customer Portal to allow your users to handle subscriptions, update users' information, billing details, etc: https://www.arengu.com/tutorials/passwordless-authentication...

Anyway, there are many boilerplate SaaS blocks that might make sense to explore for Arengu, but currently we're focused on signup and onboarding flows/screens.

I get your point and yes, a basic sign-up or login flow can take a few hours to code using a framework. But when you start adding features like OTPs, social login with account linking, conditional logic, data validation, 3rd party widgets to verify identity or link bank accounts, automations to send a welcome email, store the data in your CRM, etc. And as you grow, more things come up and that's when this starts to get messy and most of the time you regret reinventing the wheel.

Thank you very much for the feedback! Yes, we see the pain on small teams and also on big companies with complex flows or when they want to scale user acquisition.

Can you provide an example of the template Q&A flows? You mean the onboarding screens?

Btw, we've just fixed the API key for the payment flow, thanks for reporting :P
