Candu’s drag-and-drop interface puts CSMs and PMs in the driver’s seat, enabling them to build beautiful UI without writing any code. Now the teams who understand customers best can design user experiences their customers will love.

Awesome, "Creativity made codeless". You have a great product and I wish you the best of luck getting it in front of more people.
Ashley Withers
@haimohiuddin thank you, Mohammad! We're out here trying to make no-code more creative and we're glad to have your support! 💪
Becky Reich
@haimohiuddin it is so much fun to see how creative we can be in product since that isn't something typically available to Marketers due to our coding limitations.

It seems Candu injects a div on the page where custom content goes. How do you handle style conflicts with the underlying page elements?
Alexandra Hadjidaki
Loved the video and love the product!! So proud to be part of the Candu team and can't wait to see how far it can go In the short while i got to contribute i have gotten super excited with all the new features coming down the line and the impact we can have on product-led growth 💪
John Delavera
Congrats for your work. Excellent indeed. It'd be a great idea if you offered a discount to hunters. ;)
Michele Riccardo Esposito
@john_delavera Thank you for the feedback John, and great idea! We'll make sure to include discounts next time around, unfortunately we didn't set them up for this launch
Becky Reich
@john_delavera definitely great feedback! There is a contest though to win a free license. All the details are in the onboarding checklist for Hunters AND there's a personal plan available for free.
John Delavera
@becky_reich when you say a "free license" do you mean a lifetime license for the $ 49/m plan?
Ashley Withers
@mre @john_delavera Thank you! We appreciate your feedback! Please consider participating in our contest for a chance to win a free full-feature license. Details are inside our onboarding checklist right inside the app. :)
Michele Riccardo Esposito
@becky_reich @john_delavera Even better. It's a lifetime deal for the enterprise license, so you'll get all of Candu's features.

Hey Guys! Big Congrats on your launch - looks neat. would be interesting to know how you embed it in another website? is it through an iframe? can you maybe show a code snippet?
Lauren Cumming
@robert_eiter thanks so much!! For a sample code snippet you can check out our doc here https://docs.candu.ai/en/article.... After inserting the code snippet into your product or website you can then use the Candu Chrome Extension to preview your content and then embed it with a few clicks! 😊
Rob J Eiter
@lauren_cumming22 oh thanks! Cool! So as I understand it as long as JavaScript will be allowed there won't be issues with embedding right?
Michele Riccardo Esposito
Thank you, @jonathan_anderson2! Please tell your mom, “Hi from Miki.” And BIG thanks again to Ben Lang (@benln) and the Product Hunt community for taking the time to check out Candu. I want to take a moment to celebrate the engineering team. They are the “product” and Product Hunt for us. Please give them a shout and let them know what you think of their hard work! 🚀 @stuart_jc + @prev_wong + @mateusz_drulis for a fast-and-easy-to-use editor and SDK. 🎨 @stepan_zastupov for brand-design magic via the no-code styleguide. ✔️ @rafacianci + Alex for an incredible dashboard and dramatically improved onboarding flow. 📈 @ranjez + @emma_lupton for powerful segmentation, analytics, and integrations. 🔖 @philsinsight for a bad-ass preview extension for Chrome. When Jonathan and I founded Candu in 2018, we saw the need to empower creative development in SaaS products for ALL teams. While some may see the no-code movement as a threat to devs, we see it as a unifier. By dogfooding Candu, we’ve seen firsthand how technical and non-technical teams can create a complete product experience together. While engineers are busy building new features, our customer success and marketing teams are inside the product rapidly prototyping directly embedded UI components that help our customers adopt them. From onboarding checklists to announcement bars and support hubs, we’re evolving the way we respond to the customer journey directly inside the product. The product is the thing that unites everyone at any SaaS company, and now everyone can share in its success. Thank you again, Product Hunt! I look forward to responding to your technical questions and feedback below.
Phillip Boateng
So amazing the work we've done, product has come so far!
Ashley Withers
@philsinsight you all made this happen! So proud to work with such a talented bunch of engineers! <3

Candu is THE SH%& It makes non-coders super heroes of the customer journey 🦸🏼‍♀️ My journey with Candu starts wayyy back in 2016, when it looked very very different 👀 Since then, I've used Candu at several SaaS startups as well as in my consulting gigs Outside of being an amazing low-code tool to improve your UX, it also has an AMAZING team - I have learned so much from @jonathan_anderson2 @mresposito @georgia_wright_simmons and they continue to stun me with how much they care about their customers If you're on the fence, give this Hunt an upvote and give Candu a spin!
Ashley Withers
@jonathan_anderson2 @mresposito @georgia_wright_simmons @sumeru Thank you for sharing in the excitement with us!! :)
Jonathan Anderson
👋 Hello, Product Hunt — and thank you, Ben Lang (@benln) for hunting us! ⛵. I’m Jonathan, cofounder (who can't code) of Candu, a no-code UI component builder. 👀 @mresposito, cofounder(who can code) below! ✨. This (re)launch is dedicated to every founder who’s ever attempted to explain what they’re working on to their parents… with varying degrees of success. (Love you, Mom!)✨ As a product-led company making tools for product-led growth, Candu believes that your SaaS product should be so simple that it explains itself. So maybe my still mom doesn't quite get Candu, but that still means 9 out of 10 no-code creatives are building UX without coding. And if you don't believe me, check out our ✨ Creator Showcase: https://www.candu.ai/creator-sho... ✨ Here’s how you can tell your product’s story with Candu: 🎨 Design any UI with a drag-and-drop editor that’s so easy a kid could use it. Our install is now easy too. We went from commit(ted to your dev) to no-code copy/paste. ⛳️. Hi {first}! Use variables and discover personalization at scale. Leverage our data connectors to CRMs. What else is all that data entry for if not making your product better? 👀 See your product's story come to life before it goes live. With our Chrome preview extension, you can embed an inline component into any website. We’re by no means done, if you have feedback, we need to hear it. If you’re game, I’d invite you to try creating your own no-code announcement bar. How'd it go? 🤑 CONTEST: How would your parents describe your own products? (e.g., “Better than her macaroni necklaces”) Build, preview, and share a screenshot of a “parent-approved announcement” and tag @CanduLabs on social. Best announcements will win an annual full-feature license. Thank you for checking out Candu — if you have any questions, I’ll be here all day :)
Becky Reich
(@benln @mresposito @candulabs @jonathan_anderson2 Mine: “Do you work in a call center” Seeing the preview function WITH the ability to click the checklist items made my jaw drop
Ashley Withers
(@benln @mresposito @candulabs @jonathan_anderson2 My announcement bar is "You work on the internet, right?"
Samuel Gould
(@benln @mresposito @candulabs @jonathan_anderson2 Congrats on the launch! Love playing around with the editor — intuitive, powerful, and fast. Amazing to see how it has evolved over the years. And my mom’s banner would probably say: “You sure you don’t want to go to seminary?”
Desiree Phillips
(@benln @mresposito @candulabs @jonathan_anderson2) My mothers perspective: "Like a fashion designer, but for websites" Sure. 😅 With Candu you are able to enhance websites with more dynamic, engaging, interactive and productive content. No more widgets, everything is embedded directly into the content!
Bogdan Ionita
Cool presentation clip!
Michele Riccardo Esposito
@bogdan_ionita Thanks Bogdan! @jonathan_anderson2 and his mom are naturals. I guess it runs in the family
Ashley Withers
@bogdan_ionita Thank you! Our team had a good laugh over it! We're glad you like it too :)
angela H
Candu makes it easy for everyone to collaborate on communicating what matters to the customers while marketing gets to keep tabs on the brand and voice of the company. Way less time to develop and QA! It should be just this easy and now it is with a product like Candu!
Jack Bridger
This is awesome!
Ashley Withers
@jack_bridger you're awesome! Thank you for the kind feedback! :)
Brendan McKenna
I really like how easy candu is for setting up pages for my customers. After every meeting I post my notes and assets related to what was discussed on the call (such as new product briefs and roadmap decks).
Becky Reich
@karimsaif and a twinkle at the end?! Thank you. We can’t wait to see what amazing things UI/UX designers come up with.
Stepan Zastupov
Those who code, feel free to ask you nitty gritty technical questions. We are happy to geek out in the comments.
Ashley Withers
@stepan_zastupov thanks for making Candu awesome. If anyone wants to see just how awesome Stepan is, check out the webinar we did together: https://youtu.be/_TISwuxGi-w He's also a big fan of memes. 🤓
Georgia Wright-Simmons
Hurrah! Making content with Candu is always a highlight—it creates a new space for creativity at work <3 Shoutout to the whole team, but especially @orfeoyro who has been the design mastermind behind it all.
Ashley Withers
@orfeoyro @georgia_wright_simmons Yes, Rocio! You rock!
Ranjdar Abass
So proud of what we've achieved and how far we've come over the last year! Leave no customer behind!
Ashley Withers
@ranjez 🙌 yesssss
Malavika Balachandran Tadeusz
When you have a technical product with a tricky installation process, onboarding is really critical for success. Candu is helping us make a great onboarding experience without us needing to waste valuable dev time on it. We're able to create personalized experiences based on user personas, and bring a lot of great content to their fingertips.
Michele Riccardo Esposito
@malavika_balachandran Thank you so much for your positive feedback Malavika. Looking forward to seeing your brand new onboarding experience powered by Candu!
Matt
Fantastic tool for generating no-code creatives. It’s easy to use and the options are endless!
Ashley Withers
@matt_zimmerman glad to see the phrase "no-code creatives" resonates with you! Thank you so much for your support!
James Gill
I am absolutely in love with the videos you folks have made for Candu. Product looks awesome too. Congrats on the launch, all!
