Product? Staply

What does it do? Create online notebooks and discuss its content with others. All in a nice and clean interface.

Home page

• Friendly page, friendly colors
• This landing is the absolute opposite from the Foursquare home page
• Clear CTA: either log in or sign up

Sign up

• Short form with no unnecessary fields
• An option to return to the log in page, if I ended up clickin on the wrong button

Check your inbox

• This is actually the first application where I need to confirm my e-mail before I’m able to continue to the app
• A link to my inbox (using my gmail account) is given, nice touch
• Might be a spelling error in it, but I’m not 100% sure

Activation e-mail

• In this case I’ve included the e-mail because it is part of the onboarding process
• E-mail itself is clean, with no additional stuff that doesn’t belong in the activation e-mail
• Confirmation link does not link to https, but links to the http version

Welcome tour

• After clicking the link, I’m presented with a tour. First step is just a welcome with a “skip tour” link
• The bullets at the bottom of the screen indicate 4 additional screens

Create notebooks

• No action required, just some information
• I like it that I can jump forward and backward in the tour if I want to

Add files and links to the notebooks

• Again, no action required
• Information on how linking files works

Finding stuff within notebooks

• Still no action required
• Information on how search works (but it is not clear from the image how search actually works)

Develop your ideas

• Ok, this is just a tour with images. I get it now. :)
• Apparently it is about discussing a specific file that was added to the notebook

Final tour screen

• No comments, except for the fact that however there were some nice screenshots in the tour, I’d prefer an interactive guide. All of this could be told while setting up a sample notebook.

Staply dashboard

• And after the tour, I’m ready to start creating notebooks and share them with others.
