This is very nice but I have some suggestions to improve: Navigation: The “next” link is very small and it's in different place on every step. A fixed navigation and/or bigger link would be nice. Also, showing me that it's “Step 3” is useless to me - I can count myself and even if I couldn't, I don't really care how many steps I've already seen. I'm more interested in how many more there are. There should also be automatic scrolling so that I could actually see the next highlighted area. If you already do the scrolling, remember to scroll in a way that guarantees to show whole area, not only top line. Thanks for the great work, I think I might use it in my next projet!

Thanks buddy. I think I'll have those features for next version.

I felt the same about the numbers appearing. It reminded me of the numbers that appear on my Facebook notifications/messages, and it made me feel like I needed to click/take some action with the number itself. It didn't really add anything to the experience though. Other than that, I liked it. I especially appreciated the animated transition to the next step, where the "spotlight" flowed & resized forcing my eyes to follow.

Agreed - came to comments to say the numbers aren't necessarily, and the navigation is unclear (though I just used keyboard arrow keys)

i think numbers in some cases are necessary. but can be optional.

  yeah we should have a config method.

    Just give them a less "active" default color and you're halfway there. As they are now, they seem to be asking for action. I'd also write "Step n of N" or simply "n/N" to help clear the meaning. Congratulations on your good work, by the way. I don't usually vote TFAs up, but you totally deserve it.

      Yeah that's a good idea also. Thanks for your vote.

I figured the manual scrolling was to train you to navigate the site. I guess scrolling automatically implies this, but maybe the former is more effective?
