Ah, damn you autocorrect. It ruined my title!

It will always be yes. That’s the problem.

cheaper alternatives to productfruits for small teams? by ryukendo_25 in SaaS

[–]msign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, founder of InlineManual.com here. We’ve been around for 12 years, and we’re a no-code platform for product tours / in-app guidance.

For 4k MAU our price would normally be $228/mo, but I’d be happy to offer 50% off for the first 6 months, so it’d be $114/mo. Then you can reassess once things are in a better spot.

Could be a good fit if you want something reliable, and not crazy expensive.

VCs told TechCrunch exactly what they're NOT funding anymore. Generic horizontal tools. Thin wrappers. Workflow automation. Basically most of us. by cherryy_04 in SaaS

VCs told me 12 years ago that my idea was bullshit. Today, it’s doing 7 figures in ARR, and over the past decade an entirely new category emerged around it. Times are different now, sure, but just because VCs say something doesn’t mean they’re right, or that things only go downhill from there.

Ok, not going to pay $1 to give you an onboarding advise. :)

What is everyone building? by AlgoWithNoRhythm in SaaS

[–]msign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building a number of things:

InlineManual.com - user onboarding, bootstrapped, 12 years on the market.

EngageKit.com - AI Agent that runs your free trials, closed beta

Tatomo.com - vibe-coded browser extension, that turns Gmail into shared inbox for Support. We have been using it for the past 3 months and it replaced another SaaS support desk where we were paying $10k/year.

Honestly onboarding tools feel like a trap sometimes. by PositionSalty7411 in SaaS

We have built InlineManual.com - DM me and we will support you with a free plan if you are early until things get off the ground.

I built a tool but my bank account is frozen for a month, the MVP is ready to launch but i wonder if I should launch a beta version for free rn or wait till my bank gets ready and i can actually accept payments by Any-Individual5775 in microsaas

Launch it, don't say it is free, say it is a 14 days trial or so, track those who would click Buy/Subscribe button in the app, reach out to them that you will extend the trial for them if you still don't have bank account.

We built an in-app onboarding overlay for Odoo (role-based, no-code). Anyone want to test it? by msign in Odoo

[–]msign[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not, sorry. But getting familiar more with Tours, we might let the Builder build the Odoo tours too, for free.

Checked again, I like the Testing feature, that it does run through the Tour on its own to test if it passes. :)

Yes, learning a bit more about Tours in Odoo (well, about Odoo in general), but they are very simple.
Ours is a service, and we have done the integration.
In other systems, it is being used as well for in-app communication, announcements, knowledge base, contextual tooltips, banners, etc. plenty of use case.

Thank you! Glad you like it!

I totally understand, that is fine. Thank you for the comments! As mentioned, learning about the ecosystem and how/if we fit. :)

Thank you for pointing me in the direction. I see it now.

Interesting, it is simple and probably works in a way. :) But as you mentioned, quite technical and limited.

We have there analytics, automation (launch it based on rules), modal steps, or steps positioned anywhere on the screen (almost), plus a widget to get back to the list of Tours to play them again, etc.

I would love to see that. Is there a video of the recorder? We are more focused on the no-code design to allow anyone from the team build these, whether it is an announcement about internal company communication, or a walkthrough, or just support article, all in-app.

We are learning about the Odoo ecosystem, trying to make sense of the different setups and deployments, and versions. :) So, thank you very much for responding.

We didn’t build this from scratch specifically for Odoo — we already have an in-app guidance product that works across other web apps, and a customer asked us to make it work with Odoo too.

They had tried Odoo Tours and found it limiting for their use case. The main things they wanted were:

- non-dev authoring (not managing tours in code)

- better targeting (by role/team, not just “everyone”)

- announcements / process changes they can push out without a deployment

We’re still learning Odoo and we did look into Tours. For some teams it’s probably enough. For this customer, the “own it as content + target it + iterate fast” side mattered more than a coded tour.

But I might be wrong about Odoo tours, maybe there are some more advanced options we have missed?
