Product Hunt employs a walkthrough using tooltips for new users

Context

Product Hunt is a platform (both web and mobile app) used to share and discover new tech products and services.

Onboarding tooltips are used for a walkthrough in the Product Hunt app to help activate its users by guiding them through the app’s features and functionality.

Why does this work?

By offering a guided tour with the help of tooltips, Product Hunt ensures that new users are equipped with the necessary knowledge to navigate the platform effectively.

This educational approach significantly improves the activation rates of new users, providing them with a positive initial experience and reducing barriers to entry. This further improves user retention and the LTV of each user.
