I've been in Product Management for many years now and I've always been struggling with feature announcement. And yet feature announcement is key as it impacts directly user engagement and retention.
Current solutions are:
❌ Emails release notes: they don't get read, and are out of context. Also, you can't send an email for each and every new little feature
❌ In-app release notes/changelogs: better but still out of context from a user perspective
❌ In-app prompts/tooltips: these are the most effective because they are very contextual, you'll have to rely on the engineering team and release cycle, which is not ideal
There are some solutions that provide in-app announcements but they have ridiculously high pricing (starting at $300 / month). Big companies can afford this, but for small/medium startups like the one I work in, cannot.
So I went ahead and started building Guyde.io which is a SaaS that lets product people:
✅ Create in-app product announcements with customizable prompts/tooltips,
✅ Without bothering engineering teams
✅ With affordable pricing
👉 If this is something you might be interested in, you can register now on the waiting list to get access: https://guyde.io/
