Sign-up flows from 100s of websites

81 pointsby ______over 2 years ago
Hi HN! Fil here from Formsort (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;formsort.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;formsort.com&#x2F;</a>). We just launched Fineflows, a design gallery that showcases leading sign-up flows from around the web.<p>Why? My team has been building sign-up flows for close to a decade across mortgages and healthcare. We’ve spent a lot of time working through the technical and design aspects of this problem, such as state management (getting that pesky back button to work), design flexibility, and data enrichment.<p>Time and again, we’ve seen product teams who don’t know <i>what</i> to build even though they <i>can</i>. Often times, builders of forms start their process by looking at what other people are doing, answering questions like: What are different ways error validations are done? Should I use photos of people, or is text enough? Is it appropriate to use emojis in forms? How can I decline a user in a polite yet firm way?<p>To that end, we set out to capture as many different form flows as we could and make them available. We’ve found it to be an invaluable resource ourselves, and many of our customers have used it to improve their own designs. I’m always shocked by how often people reinvent the wheel instead of using a tried-and-true technique, and I hope that we’re helping address that problem.<p>Take a look at the gallery at (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fineflows.formsort.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fineflows.formsort.com</a>), or head to Formsort’s homepage to start building yourself! Would love to hear any feedback, inspiration, or thoughts, as we are just getting this off the ground :)

Very handy! It would be nice to be able to navigate through the flow steps with the keyboard arrows.

This looks awesome - congrats! I&#x27;ve spent so much time manually screenshotting flows in the past - this would&#x27;ve saved me a ton of time.

The best sign up flow is a static html form.
