  • Aquaman

    • I built a library https://github.com/Evernote/Aquaman meant to accomplish some of these same tasks for a Redux app (also did the same think for React context, but that was never open sourced).

    The things this misses, I think, are that 1) you probably want the state of you app to trigger a guided tour, 2) you probably want a multistep flow at some point, and 3) the state changing logic of that flow probably should be separated from the rendering logic (all the steps of the flow should be together).

    That’s what I was able to accomplish with Aquaman.

  • lusift

    Javascript library to create product walkthroughs for your web app. Drive users through the different features of your product.

    • I made a more complete library a while back for those interested, driver has been known here for a while but Lusift is new and doesn't have that traction -

  • react-onboard

    Onboard users with messages that highlight components. Fully customizable

    • I also made a version of this https://github.com/CSFlorin/react-onboard

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
