Intro.js
Intro.js is a JavaScript onboarding tour library and web interface guide framework. It functions as an interactive product walkthrough tool that uses tooltips and highlights to explain software features to users.
The library enables the creation of guided onboarding tours, interactive product tours, and step-by-step walkthroughs. These tools facilitate software feature discovery and provide application interface guidance to help users navigate layouts.
The system manages the user experience through sequenced step orchestration, coordinate-based tooltip positioning, and DOM-based element highlighting. Navigation is handled via event-driven controls and state-driven overlay management.
