Agree with this statement. Thanks for the feedback!

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!

Indeed, this can speed up your initial MVP. Thanks for your feedback!

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.

Thanks for the feedback!

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 your kind words! Feel free to reach me out when you have a use case, I would love to help :)

This is really helpful! Thank you very much.

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

Arengu means development in estonian language. The funny part is we're spanish and we're based in Spain :P

Thanks for reporting it!

Hello!

This Jacobo, cofounder of Arengu, today we are launching Arengu in Product Hunt and I’ve also decided to write a blog post telling you about our journey building Arengu from scratch, the idea behind it and our vision. I hope this could inspire and help other founders!

As a quick context, Arengu is a SaaS that helps you to build all your sign-up logic without coding and streamline user onboarding by using your existing APIs or authentication systems.

A few highlights:

- Drag & drop editor: Build flows and forms in no time & with no code.

- Use cases templates: Registration flows, adaptive sign-up flows, passwordless flows, OTP email/SMS flows, social login, etc.

- Low-code: Reduce development time, maintenance & costs.

- Stack agnostic: Integrate it with any stack.

Read my blog post talking about how we've built Arengu from scratch, our story and vision: https://blog.arengu.com/arengu-the-brain-behind-signup-forms...

Also if you are a Product Hunt user, do not miss our launch at: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/arengu

I would love to receive any kind of feedback from you!

Hello HN Community!

This is Jacobo, one of the cofounders @ Arengu. I am looking to receive some feedback of what we've been working for the last months.

We've created Arengu to help building and scaling your sign-up process without dealing with complex integrations or wasting valuable development resources.

Unlike other online form builders, Arengu allows you to connect your forms with any API and execute actions at different stages of your form. This is specially useful to cover advanced uses cases like a multi-step form with SMS verification, verify if an email is valid or if it's already registered in your system, validate data against 3rd party services, sign up users or authenticate them with your API, etc.

How we do this?

- We have a flows module where you can visually build your business logic: native integrations, custom HTTP requests, if/then conditions, etc. Validation flows need to finish with a return response action with a success or failure message that will be automatically mapped to your form.

- Inside our drag & drop form builder, you can trigger flows at different stages of your form: between form steps, before submission or after submission. As an example, if your flow validates users email (valid MX record) and someone provides a fake email, it will show an error message on the browser but, if the user provides a good email, it will allow the user to continue to the next form step or submit the form.

When Arengu is useful?

- As a SaaS boilerplate. When you start building a new SaaS there is always a bunch of non-core features that you always need to develop: registration and login forms, recurring payments, task automation like sending welcome emails, notifications, email subscription, etc. Arengu helps you building all of this without development overhead so you can focus on your core app.

- To scale user acquisition campaigns. Sometimes marketing teams need to create loads of landing pages with a sign-up form and they ask dev team for help. Arengu allows them to reuse that form in as many landing pages as they want with just a line of code without dealing with technical complexity.

Our short-term plan includes

- Adding a landing page module to easily create static pages based on a HTML template with editable content (HTML, text or images).

- Support main social login providers (Facebook, Google, etc).

- Adding workspaces to organize your account.

- Support styles on form editor.

I'd love to know what you think about the product, if there is something you don't understand, if you are missing some features, etc. Any feedback or comments will be really appreciated as this is very important for us to keep improving and offering the best experience for our users.

Also I am available to schedule free 1:1 meeting to help building sign-up flows with Arengu, you can email me to jacobo.vidal[at]arengu.com

Thank you very much for your time reading this!

Awesome work! Congratz!

Thanks for clarification! You should have a look at arengu.com

Are you the same as checkoutpage.co?

I don't understand the product. Why would someone use Soldit instead of directly using Stripe?

Thank you for reading!

Thank you for your message!

We are still writing documentation and we hope to complete it in the next weeks.

Flows are usable but our flow editor is buggy in Firefox, we are working to support Firefox as soon as possible. Meanwhile for a better experience you can use Chrome.

If you need further assistance to create some kind of flow just drop me an email to jacobo.vidal [at] arengu.com I will be glad to help you.

Yes! We have a WordPress plugin, but it actually only adds our JavaScript SDK and provides a simple way to embed forms using a WordPress shortcode.

Hello, this is Jacobo, cofounder @ Arengu.

We are building Arengu because when you start a SaaS company there is always a bunch of features around your core app that you always have to develop: registration and login forms, social login, recurring payments and also workflows to automate some tasks or processes like sending welcome emails, notifications, making HTTP Requests to 3rd party services, etc. All of this takes development overhead and it is hard to maintain in case you want to change something. Arengu helps you with all of those features reducing tons of work, security risks and maintenance that come building it yourself.

Some common use cases to use Arengu:

- Create a signup form and validate email address to avoid fake signups.

- Automate tasks after someone submits a form like sending welcome email, subscribing the user to your MailChimp newsletter, receive a Slack notification, etc.

- Create a payment form with one time or recurring payments using Stripe.

- Create event-based actions making a request to our flow API.

- Create custom validation endpoints with our flows.

We are still in public beta and improving our platform before we our final release, so I would really appreciate any kind of feedback or if you have any interesting use case where we can help you using Arengu.

Arengu is FREE until we release our first version (in few weeks), our initial pricing model will be based in operations, an operation is counted every time you submit a form or every time you execute a flow action. Anyway the is a free plan up to 500 operations per month.

I am available if you guys have further questions, want to know more information or just want to say hi.

Thank you!
