TipTour, A Tooltip that guides you

Hacker News

Hi HN! I built TipTour because I'm frustrated with React Tour and similar libraries that force users through rigid, linear onboarding flows. Users should be able to discover your product naturally, not be railroaded through predetermined steps. What TipTour does differently: - Always-on, ambient help - The tooltip follows your cursor smoothly, providing context without blocking anything - Non-intrusive - No overlays, no "Next" buttons, no forced flows. Users stay in control - Discovery-friendly - Add contextual hints that appear as users naturally explore your interface
