Hackathon 0x0b – Guiding the user through our products with VueMyTips

The task

This hackathon subject is actually the continuation of work started in a previous hackathon under the name “Help me Please”: a system of interactive tours that guide the user through our products. Our solutions offer a large variety of possibilities, and proposing guidance would unlock their full potential to the end user.

  • From a user point of view, such tours are typically shown during first launch, which could be, but not always is, the perfect time to bug the user with a long tutorial. Another issue that derives from this is that, once completed or ignored, there is no way to come back to such a guide. “Help me Please” actually solved this problem by presenting a list of scenarios where the user could restart any tutorial from a list. However, we wondered if there were still ways to better integrate the tutorial, our standard documentation and, perhaps, other formats of guidance.
