Hey, awesome people of Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Nalin, co-founder of Storylane, a platform that makes creating demos as easy as making popcorn in the microwave🍿. We’re loved across Sales, Pre-Sales, Marketing and Customer Success teams and are trusted by over 300 companies, such as Gong, Nutanix, Clari, Angelist, Walkme and many more 💝 During my earlier venture I realized how absolutely broken, inefficient, and frustrating the entire software buying experience was, where I always had to jump through multiple hoops to even get a glimpse of the product. And that’s where the idea for Storylane was seeded. Today I'm excited to open Storylane to the world by presenting to you - Storylane 2.0! With Storylane 2.0, we’re actually walking the talk by going full product-led, making it super easy for teams of even one to sign up, instantly start using the product and succeed with the product-led growth (PLG) motion. With Storylane, here’s what’s possible: ✔️ Build powerful interactive demos with no help from design or devs ✔️ Create quick guided product tours for your website ✔️ Capture leads and integrate with hubspot, marketo, salesforce, slack, zapier etc ✔️ Email personalized demos ✔️ Add text or media (video, images, voice) to demos ✔️ Securely share your demos with passcode protection ✔️ In-depth analytics to understand prospect engagement And so much more! Having already clocked over 1 million+ views , we are just getting started 💪 We’d be grateful to hear from you with questions, feedback or even just a hi!

Nice one @nalin_pradeep. As a happy user of Storylane, I look forward to using the new integrations esp. with hubspot!

@nalin_pradeep Congratulations on the launch guys! Wonderful idea to deliver friction-free customer experience. 💯
Kate Kovbii
OH MY! This is just amazing! 💔 Congrats on your launch! 🥳 The tool is super easy to use, I already started building a demo for our Coming soon product 🤩 Do you guys collect any of the user analytics? Just wondering😊
Anand Vatsya

Thanks Kate @kate_kovbii and congrats to you too on getting started already !! We're just a ping away in case you need any help. Onto your question now, there's an in-built analytics section that gives you insights on views, clicks, time spent as well as completion rates, among a few other things, for your published demos/ product walkthroughs. What's more? If you already use a CRM like HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, etc., you can integrate it with Storylane and have all these insights flowing into your CRM in no time.

@kate_kovbii Thanks for the support and trying out Storylane. Here is list of integrations we do https://docs.storylane.io/storyl... . If you would like to send data to any platform of your choice then we provide that ability as well here through cross-frame events https://docs.storylane.io/storyl...
Akash Bansal

@kate_kovbii this is the most common question. Analytics at an aggregate level and per viewer level is available. And all of that gets piped to your Marketing platforms to better qualify leads.

@kate_kovbii, it's great to see that you've built a demo already!! You'll find more information with regards to the analytics we offer here: https://docs.storylane.io/storyl...
Majdi Rabia
Amazing ! I was exactly looking for this :) I just used it to create one video for my company and the least I can say is WWOWW ?!! I created a very simple "sign up" and "upload your track" demo in .. 10 MINUTES ! Awesome job, great feedback on my end
Akshaya Chandramouli
Maker
@majdi_rabia So glad you were able to do all of this in under 10 minutes! That's our promise after all :)

@majdi_rabia Uhmazing to hear that Majdi, this simplicity is our USP.

@majdi_rabia, your words are music to our ears. After you share your demo, we recommend you keep an eye on the analytics (https://docs.storylane.io/storyl...). This will give you insights on how to make your demo even better.

@nishath_fareen looks like @majdi_rabia was able to create some awesome demo. Lets take a look at any places of friction for him.
Aditya Dixit
Interesting idea. How do you think this is different from similar products currently available in the market?
Anand Vatsya
Maker
@aditya_dixit1, can I say that we were secretly wondering for someone to ask that question so that we can show-off? Firstly, we're the only company that walks the talk when it comes to helping companies adopt the PLG motion. Other players don't allow you to signup and start using them right away. Secondly, combination of video capture, HTML recording and a super intuitive platform is not something you'll find elsewhere. Other players are great at 1 or max 2 of the above. Finally, we have an incredible support team and we release new updates every week. Yes, you heard that right! And you can even visit out G2.com page to know more about the kind of value our customers are deriving from Storylane.

@aditya_dixit1 @kabir_khan11 Thanks Aditya and Kabir.
Akash Bansal
Maker
@aditya_dixit1 as @anand_vatsya pointed out, we are intensely focused on making storylane easy to use and supporting our customers to be successful. One specific example is how you can capture the product as screenshots and auto insert callouts to tell the story. As you click through, the demo is auto built for you. It takes only a few minutes to do this from signup to getting a demo ready to embed on your landing pages or sharing with customers.
Akash Bansal
Maker
@kabir_khan11 appreciate the love! Do give Storylane a try and let us know how you like it.
Akash Bansal
Maker
@nalin_pradeep the simplicity of storylane stands out. The self signup will help users discover that. Is there anything else we should be doing to personify that?
Vikram Venkatasubramanian
This seems like a very useful tool. Congratulations on the launch. Does the tool require us to embed any tracking technologies into our website if we embed the content?
Anand Vatsya
Maker
Great question, Vikram @vikram_venkatasubramanian !! No, not at all. The platform tracks all the views and clicks on the embedded content on its own and this data will be visible to you inside the built-in Analytics section of Storylane. In case, you use a CRM like HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, etc., you can also easily integrate that with Storylane and have all the lead data from Storylane's analytics flow into your CRMs. Happy to answer any follow-up questions and thanks for your appreciative words!
Vikram Venkatasubramanian
@anand_vatsya THAT is fantastic and also very critical for us as an online privacy company. Thanks for clarifying!
Nalin Pradeep
Maker
@vikram_venkatasubramanian Absolutely - we provide complete GDPR privacy setting as well

@vikram_venkatasubramanian, we're super glad that you like it. You'll find more detailed information with regards to embedding the stories and tracking here: https://docs.storylane.io/storyl...

@marianicolae9 Thanks much. I am very inclined to try this out and possibly use this for our own PH launch as well.

I love this! Building a demo can be so difficult (and nerve wracking!), this would help me a ton. Congrats on the launch today folks, well done!
Anand Vatsya

Thanks a lot Emily, @emily_matick !! Yes, we felt the pain too which is why we built too. We hope that it does help you with your use cases.
Nalin Pradeep

@emily_matick Thank you !! 100% agree with you - give it a try for your product https://app.storylane.io/sign-up . We provide application capture (html) support which provides more interactions for your platform
Akash Bansal

@emily_matick that had been our experience all along with our previous companies. We saw that there had to be an easier way to build demos for revenue teams.

We've been using Storylane for about a month now. Storylane has been an awesome tool for us to use both for new users of our product in Onboarding or PLG use cases, but also for GTM changes for existing users. It has really helped us SHOW instead of tell our users. It's a very powerful tool and easy to use. Excited for this next step in the growth of Storylane!

@luka_kankaras1 thanks for been an incredible supporter and customer of Storylane. You indeed have crafted great stories. While storylane is simple to use, its not the how of things that it is intended for, but they story behind it. And that's what you did with your storylane experiences.

Tamara Levit
I already used it to show some demos of Appflow.ai features. It looks so awesome and easy. Especially I like that I am creating it only with the Chrome extension and I need to move further only to customize it. I feel the most work done is on the backend part to make it so fast and smooth! Great tool!
Anand Vatsya
Maker
Thanks @tamara_levit for the awesome feedback! Yes, that's how easy Storylane is. We hope you continue to find more value out of it as you make more demos and see improved conversions.

@tamara_levit glad you noticed it. The team spent many months perfecting this so that right from capture to build to sharing the demo with prospects was incredibly simple.
