What it does

Onboarding is critical for IndieHackers. GuideSail is a chrome extension based tool which helps you build user onboarding tours & guides with just a few clicks. Build guides right on top of your app and deploy with a single line of code.

GuideSail helps product owners build custom in-app user messaging, product tours, and surveys.

Create in-app guides and onboarding journeys that show users what to do next. Track progress, and help them reach activation faster. Install once. Launch and update guidance without engineering tickets. Add GuideSail to your app with a small JavaScript snippet or npm package. Once it's installed, your team can create tours, tooltips, checklists, and announcements directly on top of your live product. Connect lightweight onboarding components to build one clear path from signup to value. Guide users through the setup steps, product actions, and milestones that lead to first value. Add focused popups and tooltips to the exact product moments where users need direction. See where users…from getguidesail.com
