Ask HN: Tool to create animated welcome dialogs?

1 points by rralian 11y ago ↗ HN

I seem to recall seeing on HN a few months ago some tool or library that would allow you to easily create a sort of welcome walk-through for your web application. I think it used tooltips that would one-by-one show you different parts of the UX. My google-fu and hn-searching abilities are failing me however. Can anyone remember that or find the link?

What you're looking for is commonly called a tour. Since it's web-based, it will be implemented in JavaScript. Searched HN for those terms, found this:

Thanks! Sometimes those regular word... usements... evade me. That is indeed the library I was looking for.
