Oh god you’ve hit a nerve. I’ve never learned anything useful from a forced tour.
I’ve been in meetings where we’re discussing adding these, and the intentions all seem to be “we want to help users find things” but they’re somehow totally ineffective at that job.
ALL the information at once, presented in a way you can’t leave or return, is just the wrong solution. I honestly think it’s just assumed these help users because someone saw some other product use it once.
- sublinear 3y agoForced tours strongly remind me of bad presentations given by people trying to wipe their hands clean of responsibility. They don't want to admit their monolithic UI is a mess. I miss the days when apps were much simpler and bundled together as a suite instead of one foolishly consistent... thing.
