#2Hi HN,
My name is Rahul Sarathy and I posted TextFrame a few months ago on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29234636) as a tool to create animated technical papers. After gathering feedback from the community, I found that the best use case for my tool was for creating tutorials.
I am proud to share my next iteration as a tool to create animated product tutorials. Hopefully you can find use in it to create more engaging tutorials for onboarding and helping out your users.
You can check out some examples I’ve created using the software: at https://textframe.app/examples
Please let me know what you think! You can also email me at rahul@textframe.app if you have any questions or just want to say hello

This is very cool and useful. I will provide some wish-list for this offline. I love the idea and I will use this.

That's awesome to hear. Definitely get in touch with me over email, I'd love to discuss more with you.

Do you have an example of one of these you have in mind? I'm not very familiar with user stories.

#7Pretty cool!

#8This looks great. The Marketing Website can use some flair/oberall design — but the product looks stellar. Good luck w that!

#9This is great. I think something like this is very valuable to a small startup or indie hacker who has a product that requires a sign up before their users can see/use.
You know how a lot of SaaS has a video of the user story and what their app does and looks like on the landing page? Well, I think this can be way better, less time consuming, and way cheaper than hiring an animation studio to create that video. You can also edit the textframe as the product grows; something that is much harder to do for videos.
A few of small features can make this way better.
1. The ability to put the textframe in an iframe. So users can use it on their landing page.
2. The ability to auto play the steps. (it should stop autoplay if user clicks on a step to view)
3. More UI customizability so it goes with the landing page.
I see this being more valuable as a marketing tool than a tutorial tool, but I'm only one person. Good work and good luck =)

Thank you for the feedback!
When you say marketing tool, what sort of content do you have in mind?
Also, I do provide the ability to embed in your landing pages, the instructions are at the bottom of my landing page.
