Ask HN: Good examples of screenshot style product tours

4 pointschrissyb2 comments

I'm diligently working away on the sales page for my SaaS startup. Just reading thought the comments for ding.io the first comment was this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7246312

Its a good idea and something id like to do for sure. I'd like to see some exemplary examples of successfully showing off your product using screenshots.

Who can suggest some?

The best example I can think of is this ad for the original iPhone back in 2007: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=37f...

I don't think I've ever seen a phone advertised by just showing someone using it. I know video wasn't what you came here looking for, but it is worth your consideration.

As far as screen shots go, http://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com/ is really nicely done, as is http://www.getjustlanded.com/ (more of an animation than a screen shot, but you get the idea).

Yeah i agree about the video, its so simple - but really informative.

I like the Kaleidoscope example as it breaks the mold on the typical screen shots showing with a MacBook wrapper type image.
