Improving signup UX

I've been working on the signup flow for commitcheck.com. The app requires a user to install the GitHub app AND have a regex configured on commitcheck.com. I found that most users only completed one of the two steps. So I made some changes:

  1. I changed a GitHub App setting so that users are redirected to commitcheck.com after installing the application (more detailed explanation here: https://tomkadwill.com/github-app-install-and-authenticate)

  2. I redesigned the setup form to make it simpler and make it really clear when setup is not complete. See the before and after screenshots.

This morning I checked the logs and found a new user had installed the GitHub App AND set a regex 🎉🎉

I don't have enough users to do a proper A/B test but this seems like good validation. I hope to see a big improvement in user retention.
