Hopscotch – easy product tours by LinkedIn

Interesting. If you've ever signed up for patio11's free training video, he talks a bit about how product tours gave a big bump in conversions:

That's very cool, but also very complicated. I created a demo for my app recently[1] and I used intro.js[2]. It was very simple and only involved you changing html tags. This seems way more customizable, but also might be overkill. Still cool though.

I worked at linkedin last summer, and I remember seeing a project exactly like this at one of the hackday presentation. It's nice to see that it turned into something.

Thank you for all the great work! Good to see more Open Source about this. (Apache licensed)

There is much more out there in the same spirit, here is a short collection of the alternatives:

- jQuery Impromptu http://trentrichardson.com/Impromptu/

- Zurb Joyride http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/joyride.html

- Intro.js (js only) http://usablica.github.com/intro.js/

- Bootstro.js - http://clu3.github.com/bootstro.js/

- pageguide.js - http://tracelytics.github.com/pageguide/

- chardin.js - http://heelhook.github.com/chardin.js/?hn

Foundation already did this with Joyride -- and is a much simpler plugin. What's different about this one? http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/joyride.html

So, this [1] happens for me on Safari Version 6.0.5 (8536.30.1) and FF 24.0. Not sure if anyone involved reads this. If not, I'll post a bug report.

Are there any product tour libraries that can detect interaction with the application being presented?

This must be the fifth "touring" library I've seen. Stop it..
