What it does

Reach users while they’re active in your product. Appcues lets you create personalized, branded in-app messages—no devs required.

Don’t be satisfied with one-on-one convos. From onboarding to announcements, use in-app messaging to keep the journey going without ever leaving the experience. New users get lost fast without a little help. Use personalized Checklists, Tooltips, and emails to guide them from first win to regular habit. Don’t let launches fizzle. Highlight what’s new—and why it matters—while users are already engaged. The longer you wait, the fuzzier the feedback. Ask the right questions inside your product—when the answer’s fresh and top of mind. Guide users through what matters most and turn flashes of interest into regular habits. Keep users moving with step-by-step lists that check off in real time.…from appcues.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
