Tooltip Tutorial simplifies the creation of guided tours and tutorials for web apps. With just a few clicks and no coding, you can help users navigate your app seamlessly, enhancing onboarding and boosting engagement with step-by-step, customizable guides.
Hello Product Hunt community,
In April 2024, I launched my first app, in which people faced difficulties navigating it. Therefore, something had to be done in that regard. My first idea was to make a blog, in which I could present the app’s features so people would get a better understanding of it. However, that did not work, as people simply did not have the time to read all of the long and detailed instructions on how everything works. As this first experiment failed, I decided to add Knowledge Bases, where I took the content of the blogs and basically made them shorter so it would be easier to follow. However, users had difficulties following the instructions as they were simply too boring. It was still a difficult task for the user, as they had to remember each step, and if they forgot something along the way, they had to go back to the Knowledge Base and redo all the steps.
At this point, I decided to step things up by creating video tutorials for each of the previous posts I had created. At that time, in my opinion, that had to be the end of the issue: I was literally showing the user what buttons to click step by step. However, despite it being an improvement, it did not solve the problem. People still had issues with finding the same buttons, especially if they were using different devices such as tablets or phones. I realized the solution was close; the only issue now was that the tutorials were hard to follow on different devices. I got tired of googling solutions and decided to create my own tool.
The first idea was to directly mark the elements in the code and display pop-ups for each of them. As you may have thought, this was a tedious task because I needed to find the specific elements in my codebase and insert some attributes on them, not to mention that if I needed to use the same element for two different tutorials, I had to mark them differently. That said, I came up with the idea of creating a tool where you had a “Record” button, and once you start a recording, you just click the elements you want to highlight and type a description. With this, I finally had the solution to my problem. It was easy for me to set up, and it was just as easy for the user to follow.
After seeing the results, I decided to make a standalone tool that could potentially help others. This is how Tooltip Tutorial was born. It’s very simple to use, it saves a lot of time, and right now it also has comprehensive analytics, which will help with optimizing the onboarding process for your apps.
I am eager to see your opinion on this, and if there is anything I can do better, please let me know, and I will do my best to meet those requirements. Thank you!
Wow, this is an amazing tool. I've been struggling with how to create my step-by-step tutorial on my website https://quitporn.ai. I think your tool will help me a lot. I could easily finish my work before the end of this month. Thank you for creating such a great tool.
The user interface is really great, it’s very intuitive and makes creating guides a breeze!
pricing looks fair, especially for smaller projects that want to get started with tutorials. Love that it offers insights into whwere user might be struggling It’s great to have those analytics for making improvements to the guides.
Congrats on rolling this out! It looks like it could really cut down on support requests by walking users through out process. I’m interested to see how it handles complex apps.
Easy setup with build up with tracking That’s really helpful. Seems perfect for keeping users on track as they explore an app.
@bogdan_stan Congratulations on the launch of Tooltip Tutorial! Your no-code guided tours are set to make web app navigation a breeze, significantly boosting user engagement. At InterWiz, our AI avatars automate technical interviews, ensuring efficient and thorough candidate assessments. how do you plan to expand Tooltip Tutorial's customization options, and what exciting new features are on the horizon for enhancing user experience even more?
I tried opening the demo video, but it seems the link isn’t working for me. You might want to double-check that.
This is going to be so helpful! Setting up tutorials without touching the code sounds like a dream for non-developers.
It's clear that you put a lot of thought into solving the problem of user navigation.
The journey you've shared from blog to knowledge base to video really highlights how challenging it can be for users to get started, and it's great to see how you've developed a practical solution for both users and developers. @bogdan_stan
digging the intention behind the product. but remember, clarity is a trophy all of its own.
This sounds like a game-changer for onboarding! 🚀 Love the idea of guided tours that actually help users. Great job, @bogdan_stan! Can't wait to see it in action!
Hey Bogdan, I really like your idea and product! Just a quick suggestion, as @twoheads already pointed out...the demo works smoothly, but the tooltips don’t quite stand out from the rest of the website.
It’s nice to have an investment tool that’s designed with simplicity and personalization in mind. I see it's good for me.
I'd like to see some examples of how this tool can be used in different types of web apps.
The ability to create guided tours and tutorials without any coding is really impressive.
