Onboarding user flow

At the moment there's just a few notes on the landing page but no onboarding flow. It would be useful is there was a flow that prompted the user through setting up their publishing API keys, etc.

1. In-App Guidance & Tooltips:

• UserGuiding: A popular choice for creating interactive product tours, tooltips, hotspots, and onboarding checklists. It's relatively easy to use and offers good customization options.
• Appcues: Similar to UserGuiding, Appcues allows you to build personalized onboarding flows, announcements, and surveys. It's known for its robust segmentation and analytics.
• Intro.js: An open-source JavaScript library that lets you create step-by-step guided tours. It's lightweight and customizable, but requires more technical expertise to implement. A good option if you want more control and don't mind coding.
• Chameleon: Focuses on creating contextual help and micro-surveys in addition to guided tours. It aims to make onboarding more personalized and less intrusive.
• WalkMe: A more enterprise-level solution that offers advanced features like automated workflows and analytics. It's suitable for complex applications.
• Pendo: While Pendo is a broader product analytics platform, it also includes features for in-app guides and onboarding. It's a good choice if you're already using Pendo for analytics.
• Userpilot: A no-code platform that allows you to create personalized onboarding experiences with in-app tutorials, tooltips, and user segmentation.
• Userflow: An all-in-one digital adoption platform that makes it simple to create in-app onboarding flows, checklists, and surveys without any coding.

2. Interactive Walkthroughs & Product Tours:

• Whatfix: Another strong contender in the interactive walkthrough space. It allows you to create guided tours, interactive FAQs, and performance support content.
• Helppier: Creates interactive guides and tooltips to help users learn your application. It offers a user-friendly interface and good customization options.

3. Checklists & Progress Tracking:

• Many of the in-app guidance tools mentioned above (UserGuiding, Appcues, Chameleon, etc.) also provide checklist functionality.
• You can also build your own checklist system within your application using your front-end framework (React, Vue, Angular, etc.) and tie it to your backend to track progress.
