Show HN: I built an alternative to product tours

11 pointsby giaco_hendelover 1 year ago
Hey HN,<p>we’ve built a tool that dynamically adjusts the complexity of software interfaces based on a user&#x27;s interaction with it.<p>It works by hiding non-essential&#x2F;advanced UI elements for new users, reducing cognitive load and guiding them to their &quot;aha moment&quot; more efficiently. We refer to this as „simple mode“.<p>Non-essential features are progressively revealed when the user is ready to use them, and we’ve also added an option for users to manually switch „simple mode“ off.<p>Every Feature in vykee consists of Elements. Elements can be selected via UI picker or via code by adding the vykee attribute.<p>Our analytics tool allows you to easily measure the usage of Features and Elements over time. You can identify the ones that are (a) not used or (b) used a few times in the beginning but not again. Those non-essential Features can be hidden by applying conditions for revealing them. There’s a demo video on our website showing how it works.<p>As we’re still very early, I’d love to get your feedback on the tool and thoughts re simplifying complex software more broadly.<p>Hope you like it!

What&#x27;s the difference between this and a feature flagging tool?

that&#x27;s an interesting twist to the concept of feature flags, since this is user driven, I can see myself trying it out. how hard is it to integrate into an existing saas app and are there any requirements for my saas app to be able to use it?

Looks interesting! Is this only for web-apps, or for desktop software too?
