What it is
A self-hosted product-onboarding platform: in-app tours, checklists, tooltips and micro-surveys, built in a visual editor and targeted at particular users or moments. It is the open-source answer to Appcues and Userflow.
What it is good for. Any product with an unfamiliar main screen has an explanation problem, and no amount of traffic fixes it. Someone lands on a screen they do not recognise and either grasps the idea within ten seconds or closes the tab. A three-step tour on first use converts more of the traffic already paid for than doubling that traffic would. It also lightens the documentation workload: when the product explains its own basics, that time goes to the interesting use cases instead of a tour of the toolbar.
- Tours are edited visually — you rewrite the onboarding copy without touching the React build
- Targeting rules mean the tour shows only to first-session users, not to you every morning
- Released twelve days ago and moving fast; at 2.0k stars almost none of your competitors run it
- Young project — the licence splits an MIT core from an enterprise tier, so check what you actually get
- Another Docker stack with its own Postgres to run and back up
- Premature until the product has a steady trickle of genuinely new users to onboard
It also lightens your video workload: when the product explains its own basics, your YouTube time goes to the interesting use cases instead of a tour of the toolbar.
