This looks fantastic. How does the library perform in terms of impact on Next.js apps?
@benjamin_anderson3 it is very light, so no performance effect. It improves user experience significantly.
I love the smooth Framer Motion animations. Does NextStep allow for multi page tours or is it mainly focused on single page applications?
@charlotte_richardson1 yes, it allows multi page tours. You can see demo here

Congrats on the launch Alex
@coderamrin thanks Amrin! Appreciate it.
NextStep is very promising but how does it stack up against existing onboarding tools like Shepherd.js or Intro.js?
@lucas_edwards2 it has significant advantages to them.
They are great tools as well. nextstepjs got couple advantages.
-You can route between pages during the tour
-Default events are easier to implement with react frameworks
-You can provide your card react component which fully customises how the tour looks like
-It has builtin support for inside viewport tours
-Very simple to use, lightweight
-Nice customizable Framer Motion animations
These are the ones I can quickly list. Try the demo, it is very efficient and fast.
I could not use others because I wanted to use onboarding with forms and wanted to trigger tour changes with user actions. But you can do those with nextstepjs
Thanks for uploading! Amazing onboarding tool with great features!
@e_f5 thanks for the feedback!
