UX Insider: Product Hunt Roundup - E. 07

Founders have high hopes from a Product Hunt launch – the hype and influx of new users are real. But if the UX doesn’t guide them, they’ll quickly lose interest.

Here’s a quick dive into a few tools and how small tweaks could drive better engagement.

Lovable

  • Users are dropped straight into the product with no onboarding.
  • The layout feels unusual—Projects & Templates are placed at the bottom instead of a sidebar.
  • Some labels can be confusing; for example, “Latest” refers to items generated by all users, not your most recent projects.

💡 UX Tip: Add a proper onboarding flow to help new users understand the product’s value from the start.

Beatoven.ai

  • No onboarding means users are left to discover the product on their own.
  • The layout is a bit crowded.
  • It’s sometimes hard to tell what’s a link versus simple text.

💡 UX Tip: Guide new customers to create their first track and refine the overall layout and design for clarity.

  • The video carousels on the website aren’t working properly.
  • There’s no guidance for new users, making it hard to know the next steps.
  • The layout feels unpolished, with some buttons labeled and others not.
  • Some actions occur in one section while their outcomes appear in another (e.g., Memos).
  • Multiple settings sections and confusing navigation add to the overwhelm.

💡 UX Tip: Map out the user flows and create a structured onboarding sequence to set users up for success.

Webdraw Beta

  • No onboarding for new users.
  • The key feature, Remix, doesn’t work reliably or gets stuck.
  • Absence of loading screens leaves users unsure if something is happening behind the scenes.
  • With many options and no clear next steps, the product feels overwhelming.

💡 UX Tip: Educate new users on the product’s capabilities and streamline the main user flows.

Andsend

  • The setup process is lengthy with no option to skip, and users only see a demo message once loaded—delaying the “aha!” moment.
  • Starting immediately with chatbot messages can be distracting.
  • The concept of a “playbook” isn’t clearly explained.

💡 UX Tip: Streamline the time to value by loading a few demo conversations (or a summary of recent interactions) and guide users on how to set up a playbook.

Key takeaways:

An effective onboarding, clear layouts, and consistent labels can significantly enhance the user experience and drive higher activation and retention.
