Hi everyone! 👋
I built NextStep after struggling to find a good onboarding solution, especially one that can interact with forms, route during the onboarding process, handle viewports and event based.
NextStep is easy to implement and looks gorgeous, because you can fully customize it. You can improve your user onboarding and engagement. With its seamless integration for Next.js and React, it simplifies creating interactive product tours.
(The 2.0 beta introduces support for more React frameworks.)
Smooth animations via Framer Motion (Motion) are customizable, making it even more versatile.
Key benefits include:
-Enhanced Onboarding: Guide users step-by-step right after signup to ensure they understand your product’s value immediately.
-Interactive Help: Replace static help docs with dynamic, interactive tours for better user comprehension 📘.
-Error Handling: Show users exactly how to resolve issues with custom tours, avoiding generic error toasts.
-Event-Triggered Tours: Keep users on track by triggering contextual tours based on specific events 💡.
It's a must-have for any app aiming to provide an engaging and intuitive user experience!
Why is it better than other onboarding libraries?
-You can route between pages during the tour
-Default events are easier to implement with react frameworks
-You can provide your custom card as a react component which fully customises how the tour looks like
-It has builtin support for inside viewport tours
-Very simple to use, lightweight
-Fully customizable Framer Motion animations
-Users can intereact with the forms and you can trigger onboarding events with user actions.
I encourage you to try the demo, it is very efficient and fast.

I love the smooth Framer Motion animations. Does NextStep allow for multi page tours or is it mainly focused on single page applications?
