Screenshots are so 2023! Help me build the future of app guides (feedback welcome!)

Hey, fellow indie hackers

Remember struggling with those super dull screenshot guides? Yeah, me too. That's why I'm building something awesome

I'm creating an app that can help you turn boring screenshots into click-by-click product tours that showcase features & benefits.

Take a look: https://guidemagnet.com/

I'm still building and have made excellent progress. I'd love your feedback!

Tell me: what would make product tours even more awesome?

Cheers,
Viraj

    Hi :) I think you can expand the list of use cases (if you are interested of course). I am specializing in implementing enterprise software in organizations, and one of the big pains for all of them is creating training guides on the new solution - as part of the implementation. Just a thought :) Good luck!

      Good suggestion. Would you be open to sharing an example of a training guide?

        Hi, I have a couple of screenshots - of a video and of a document, but it looks I cannot attach images or post links yet :) Sorry

          Would you be open to sharing this info at viraj@guidemagnet.com?

            I just sent. In short: As part of the new ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution implementation, the end users have to be trained on the new platform. The guides are created as part of the initial implementation project. Later - after the system is live - the same guides can be used for onboarding and continuous employee education. Hope it helps

    I think most of the landing pages are not "showing" the product enough. If you can, let visitors actually try out the product. That'd be an exciting product to help startups showcase their benefits.

    I find that tooltips are easy to ignore... So you might want to explore another different approach.

      Thank you for your feedback.
      Can elaborate on the tooltips part?

    I can imagine creating clickable demos that can be embedded on a website by copying code (HTML) might be a cool thing

      Thank you for the feedback. The demo on the landing page is an embedded frame.
