    Flows▲239

    If you’ve ever tried building onboarding or product adoption with Appcues, Chameleon, Userflow, WalkMe, or Usetiful, you’ve probably hit the same two problems: 1. Everything is rendered with JavaScript overlays 2. Customization is a nightmare A little backstory: When I was choosing an onboarding tool for my previous project, nothing matched what I needed. So I had to build my own. With help from IntroJS I built onboarding solution that I needed: Tooltips, Modals, custom CSS, waiting for interactions, and saving the state into the database. It worked… but it took way more time than it should…

    We built an open-source alternative to expensive pair programming apps▲39

    My friend and I grew frustrated with the high cost of existing pair programming tools, and of course of grainy screens when we used Huddle or similar tools. We believe core developer collaboration shouldn't be locked behind an expensive subscription. So for the past year we spent our nights and weekend building Hopp, an open-source alternative. We would love your feedback and we are here to answer any and all questions.
