#2This is exactly what I need to quickly explain elements of my dashboards to new users! Alternatively, this could let me explain new elements as they are added over time. Perfect!

Be aware of the licensing though. It was MIT but as of March 9 the license file mentions having to purchase a license if used commercial. Seems contradictory with "to deal in the Software without restriction" part of the MIT license text.

#4Write an unintuitive UI and then plaster it with 'hints' - great!

#5Cool to see a project using Skeleton. Was disappointed when that project fizzled out once the creator left. It hit the sweet spot in CSS frameworks for me: small, un-opinionated and hard for people to tell you're using a framework (unlike Bootstrap which you can spot a mile away). Haven't found anything to replace it yet.

UI is hard... takes a lot of iteration to get right and even then... hints help IMO

#7Neat! I was just looking for something like this. Good call out on the MIT license.

Right, I didn't notice at first.

Looks like if you use it as part of a commercial product, you have to pay the license.

Which is only fair IMO, open source developers have to eat too!

#10This is an awesome library, and seems to be very vibrant on Github.
If you're looking for something commercial (and paying for something commercial) however, I'd probably recommend one of the step by step tutorial tools that allow you to build the walk through using a visual editor, and without having to add code for each individual walk through and tool tip.
This is one of those cases where I just want to add a short JS snippet to my site, and allow product / marketing to customize and fine tune the tutorials and on-boarding without developer involvement.
