What’s new in Clew
Every entry names something you can open and check. The dates are real — this is the repository’s history, not a wall of activity.
A website survey: up to three questions
A new format: a popup asking one question per screen — a single choice or a free answer, required questions, per-question stats and a CSV export. The answers sit apart from the analytics: the events keep only how many questions were answered, with no text and no chosen options. Each of the three new formats also gets its own guide.
A bar, and a picture in the popup
A new format: a strip at the top or bottom of the screen with text, a button and an optional email field. It lies over the page by default and does not reflow the site. And a modal can now carry an image — left, right, top or centre, in three widths, with bold text and links in the body.
The landing shows a tour, not a pop-up
Visitors used to get a modal they could only close: 30 views, 28 dismissals, one completion. It is now a three-step anchored tour over the page’s own blocks, triggered a quarter of the way down instead of on arrival.
The intro.js alternatives page, rewritten
It now carries what nobody else on that search page offers: the libraries compared against each other — Intro.js, Shepherd.js, Driver.js, React Joyride, Reactour — with licences read from npm. If copyleft is a problem for you, that one fact settles the choice faster than any feature table.
Onboarding teardowns in the navigation
The series of walkthroughs of other products moved into the site header; until now only blog posts linked to it.
Recurring payments, and a plain warning about FPS
A subscription no longer has to be renewed by hand. And separately: when paying through the Russian FPS, the bank list shows only banks that support account linking — we now say so before the redirect rather than after.
A page for every ready scenario
Eighteen templates — welcome tour, activation checklist, feature announcement, upgrade prompt at the limit, NPS — each got its own page: what the scenario is for, the copy of every step, the reasoning behind each default, and what to measure.
Five free planning tools
An Eisenhower matrix, a checklist builder, a character counter, a SWOT/TOWS matrix and a technical-spec generator that checks the spec rather than just printing it. No sign-up.
MCP tokens expire in 90 days
A personal token for Claude and Cursor now expires after 90 days by default, and dropping to the free plan revokes it rather than suspending it.
Onboarding teardowns
A standing series: we walk a product ourselves, count the steps to first value, measure the time and publish the numbers with our own screenshots. The format is enforced in code — a teardown without measurements will not publish.
Security review of the MCP server
We went through exactly what an AI agent with account access can do, and closed what it turned up. The discovery documents a client reads before connecting arrived with it.
The lead magnet hands over its PDF by one-time link
The file used to sit in the open and the preview showed all of it. The preview is a teaser now, and the file comes with a token.
Try it before installing anything
The month’s main change: a tour can be built and watched without touching your own site. We host a test page that already carries your widget, and what you build there stays in your account — nothing is rebuilt later.
The widget survives blockers, strict CSP and shadow DOM
We went through where the widget failed to reach the page and fixed it: ad blockers, strict content-security policies, Safari’s restrictions and sites built from web components.
UTM and QR generators
A UTM builder, a QR generator with no expiry, and QR codes with UTM tracking for offline events: one tagged link per placement, PNG and SVG in one archive.
The two-step rating
A new format: a score first, then a branch — a satisfied visitor is invited to leave a public review, an unsatisfied one is asked what to improve. The public review link shows on both branches by default: inviting only happy customers to review is against both the review platforms’ rules and the regulators’.
A/B tests with a significance check
Two versions of a tour on one page, a stable per-visitor split, a p-value against a sample size planned in advance, and a button to make B the main version.
Onboarding checklists, and steps that flag themselves
A checklist whose items tick themselves on a URL, a click or a call from your code. And separately: when a step stops finding its element after a release, it is flagged in the tour’s stats instead of failing silently.
