Hello Product Hunters!
I’ve not talked too much about my personal story before and how that inspired what we’re building at Arcade, but this time around I’m going to. I was born deaf, and since the age of twelve, I hear with cochlear implants. I am VERY passionate about great products that do their jobs well. With my cochlear implants, I can turn them on and immediately connect with the world around me in a much more engaging and colorful way. I’m really grateful for this gift.
You may notice that our new homepage (as of today! ✨) at arcade.software has a colorful tone — and that when you create an Arcade, it has a lot of opportunities to add playful and interactive elements such as adjusting the hotspots, adding wrappers, and changing the chapters. That is all by design. I believe that life, and products, should have color! I’m not a monochrome person, and never will be.
Well, we’ve added even more color to your Arcade creator experience, literally and figuratively! We’ve just released ways to adjust your image with blurring, adding more callouts that you can customize and change targets to, and a way for you to pan and zoom within your Arcade. We paid close attention to the details along the way to ensure that it is always an easy and intuitive experience.
Also, if you want to submit your Arcade with these new features to our brand new Spotlight page, check it out here: arcade.software/spotlight. I’ll be around here today, too.
Rock on with color,
Caroline 🤘🌈
@caroline_clark2 Ive been an Arcade user for a while now and I love how simple it is to create interactive demos for my customers! Kudos to you and the team for putting this together. I was wondering if I could use Arcade for in-product onboarding as well. This would be a game changer for my dev team. We are using usetiful today, if arcade offers this I'd switch in a minute! Is this on the roadmap by anychance?
Congratulations on the launch 🍾🚀, have been using Arcade for quite some time now and it has made life easy with product walkthrough tutorials for me. Awesome product!!
Huge Arcade fan! Have been using Arcade at 2 companies now and it makes creating content easy for sharing and displaying internally and to customers. Thank you for helping me make my job easier and listening to your customers for continuous improvements. Great job Arcade team!
I love this product. I was looking for an easy way to make an interactive tutorial for my web app, and really didn't want to implement something myself. I randomly found this here, and thought it would be perfect to make and embed an arcade as my tutorial. I put the tutorial together in under 20 minutes and it works so well for my site. Thanks :)
Big fan of Arcade. It makes everything look slick with no effort at all. I'm a marketing team of 1 at my company, and Arcade has been a magic tool for creating the level of content I'd like to create without the need for intensive design and video editing workflows behind it.
The only knock on Arcade prior to this update is that it was hard to draw attention to specific items as well as hide things you didn't want a user seeing on the screen. With the addition of pan and zoom and blurring, those issues are in the past. Great job team!
@smjohnson26 Thanks so much! Yeah, we hear you about the challenges with drawing specific attention to things - and that has changed how we develop new features, as well as how we talk about the product.
At Cards we were looking for a way to present our SaaS product in a more interactive and engaging way. We came across Arcade and were immediately impressed with the platform. It's easy to use, and it allows us to create interactive demos that are both informative and fun.
We've been using Arcade for a few months now, and we've seen a significant increase in interest in our product. Our demos are more engaging, and we're able to answer more questions from potential customers. We're really happy with Arcade, and we would definitely recommend it to other startups.
Here are some of the things that I like about Arcade:
- It's easy to use. Even if you're not a designer or developer, you can create interactive demos with Arcade.
- It's versatile. Arcade can be used to create a variety of different types of interactive demos, from simple walkthroughs to complex simulations.
- It's affordable. Arcade is a fraction of the cost of other interactive demo platforms.
So great job to the whole team guys! Bravo!
