Onboarding & Empty State Component Kit
Copy-paste React components for onboarding checklists, product tours, welcome modals and empty states that help new users reach their first result.
Economics
- Pricing example
- $39 one-time (unlimited projects)
- Daily math
- 1 sale every 2 days x $39 = about $20/day.
- Target if you hit the daily math
- Target: $550 - $850 / month if the daily math is hit
Audience and urgency
Audience: SaaS founders and front-end developers improving the first-run experience of their apps.
Urgency: New users sign up, see an empty dashboard and leave. Building a checklist, tour and helpful empty states takes time that small teams spend on features instead, and onboarding tools add another monthly bill.
MVP scope
- ✓ Onboarding checklist widget with progress saved through a simple adapter (localStorage or your API)
- ✓ Lightweight step-by-step tour built on Floating UI with keyboard support
- ✓ Welcome modal, sample-data toggle pattern and 'next best action' banner
- ✓ Empty-state components with illustration slots and primary/secondary actions
- ✓ Hooks API (useOnboarding) and docs with live examples
Omitted features
- - Do NOT build a hosted onboarding service or analytics
- - Do NOT ship tracking code
- - Do NOT copy other paid kits

One-shot master prompt
Create a React + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS "Onboarding Kit" with a Next.js docs site. Core requirements: 1. useOnboarding hook and provider: steps defined in config (id, title, description, action, completion check), progress persisted through a pluggable adapter (localStorage default, async API adapter example). 2. Components: ChecklistWidget (collapsible, progress bar, dismiss), Tour (anchored steps using Floating UI, focus management, Esc/arrow keys, scroll into view), WelcomeModal, NextActionBanner. 3. EmptyState components: basic, with illustration slot, with sample-data button, and search-no-results, each with primary/secondary actions. 4. Accessibility and dark mode for everything; Testing Library tests for keyboard flows. 5. Docs: live examples, props tables, copy buttons; zip with LICENSE for unlimited projects. No tracking code.
