I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum ... I'd never heard of Kera and after reading the obituary, I wanted to know what it was. Unfortunately, they've simultaneously put a "black ribbon" on the project's web page, making it impossible to navigate to any meaningful description.
Would someone mind "clueing me in"?
- dclowd9901 14y agoIt sounds like Kera was some kind of "walkthrough" service that provided a high fidelity explanation of navigating and using an app (think: in-product tour). OP has a point when he says the product was fundamentally flawed in that it supported badly designed products.
- mnicole 14y agoI tried it out quite a few months ago, so I am only speaking to the initial version, but you created a timeline of JS events (tooltips, other tutorial/intro elements) with synced voiceovers (if you wanted) and it would show up on the user's end with a video player-esque UI so they could navigate the experience. The front-end was clean & simple, and I really liked it in theory (I disagree with the notion that any app that needs a walkthrough is broken by design), but the version I tried's backend wasn't created for people who couldn't sink some time into the JS and would have benefitted greatly from a more user-friendly approach.
