Why am I builing OnboardJS (thread)
Many times for pet-projects or SaaS applications I had to create an onboarding flows from scratch
Always the same pain points came up while building
- Takes a long ass time
- State management is pain
- No clue if it actually converts

Is it worth creating a video tutorial too?

Would you give a new dev user the exact same product tour as a new analyst? 🤔
Of course not.
This is precisely why #OnboardJS has conditional nodes. They are the simple if/then logic that lets you segment users in real-time.
