Brilliant and almost perfect. I will incorporate it into my project, next week. Thank you so much. Most people here are asking for more features. Please be careful with that; it would be a pity to see such a pearl to swell into bloatware. You have very good taste, let it be your guide.

With under 4kb js and 2kb css I guess it is pretty far from being a bloat.

You could potentially build a commercial version of this on the same technology, if you wanted to keep the core of it lean. I know several people that would pay money to have this plus analytics about user progress and drop outs, user feedback etc.

        I can't speak to the other one, but I will go on to say that Taurus is moving very fast. I was an early adopter, and while I don't use them anymore, I saw them go from a barebones product, to a barebones product with an on-site tutorial builder, to a fairly rich product with customizable themes, etc., in just a few weeks. I can't speak for what they've done since I stopped using them, but looking at their homepage, the velocity still seems pretty high.

Love the concept, I've been looking for something like this and I'm already deploying it in my app. Used today's commute to package it into introjs-rails, for anybody that wants to use this in their rails app (assuming you are using the RoR asset pipeline) gem 'introjs-rails' https://github.com/heelhook/intro.js-rails https://github.com/heelhook/intro.js-rails

    Hey, I just added intro.js to my project. One thing I noticed is the tooltip always shows up at the bottom. The most useful thing I can think of is supporting an attribute to display the tooltip on any side of the element. I can link you to my project if you'd like to see how I use it. Just email me- mariusz.n.lapinski@gmail.com. My app isn't ready for prod just yet.
