I was tired of being tech support for my family

A few months ago I realized I was basically doing tech support for my parents every other night.

It was always the same:

• “TV is not working”

• “How do I log into my bank?”

• “Why does this look different?”

I tried everything - screenshots, phone calls, even writing steps in notes but nothing really stuck, they were always lost somewhere and... a couple of weeks later, same problem again.

So I built GuideYou - a simple way to create step-by-step visual guides that anyone can follow. Now instead of explaining things repeatedly, I just create a guide once and my parents use it whenever they need. So basically, my parents are now my QA team 😄

✨ What GuideYou does

• Create visual step-by-step guides
  Upload screenshots/photos and highlight exactly where to tap

• Interactive guidance
  Use glowing hotspots and simple instructions

• Family workspace
  Share guides with family members (Admin / Editor / Viewer roles)

• Real-time feedback loop
  “This doesn’t look right” button sends feedback instantly

• Works on every device
  It’s a web app — you can even add it to your home screen like a native app

• Stay signed in
  No constant logins — designed for non-technical users

• Private by default
  Guides are only visible within your family

• Public guide library (growing)
  Share useful guides with others

• AI asset generation
  Generate visuals for guides when screenshots aren’t enough

💡 Why I built this

The real problem isn’t explaining something once.

It’s explaining the same thing over and over again.

GuideYou turns that into:

explain once → reusable forever

🎯 Who it’s for

• People helping parents or grandparents with tech

• Families supporting each other

• Anyone tired of repeating instructions

• Non-technical users who need simple guidance

🚀 What I’m looking for

I’d love feedback on:

• onboarding & first-time experience

• guide creation flow

• clarity of instructions

• anything confusing or unnecessary
