Show HN: I created a library to create product tours / walkthroughs

[nbhusal]

This is significantly different in its feature set than the existing open source alternatives, I made this to be a more complete library, and well, as a portfolio artefact. Any comment is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Documentation locked up in walkthroughs is very frustrating to access. You can't search for it or reference it easily.

Mini-tutorials upon open are so annoying that my brain immediately enters "get out of the tutorial at any cost" fight-or-flight mode and I start scrambling for a hide, skip, or close button. If I don't find one I close the app and give it a 1-star rating that it has unskippable tutorials.

As far as I can tell, this is a really well executed version of something that drives at least some subset of users (and possibly more) totally nuts.

You are likely not the target audience. This cohort of "some subset of users" that prefer things to be textually rather than visually based is quite small outside of software developers.

Looks great! Can I use this for my product's onboarding instead of https://www.appcues.com/ ?

[nbhusal]

It was intended to be an open-source alternative to appcues and the likes, yes.

Let me know how it goes =)

This is great. We have tried userpilot for our SaaS product but this seems like a great open source alternative ! Good Job

Opened the documentation link, clicked on the ‘Open Demo App’ and decided to return to the documentation link page. The back button on my browser doesn’t work. I’m stuck on the demo app page even though I haven’t activated/entered the App. It could be this is caused by my iPad itself. If not, it’s not good when a site ‘hijacks’ your browser back button and prevents you from leaving a page.

Looks great, we are using angular, but would like to give a try

Firefox seems to be not supported...
