Show HN: Create Tours for Your GitHub Projects

I’m Marcelo, the creator of Tour. I like to make life simple - because power lies in simplicity.

Today, I am excited to launch Tour, an app I designed to make it simpler and easier for coders to do what they do best: code. I am inspired by the open-source community and, with Tour, I am making a small contribution to promote the creativity and talent of my fellow coders.

Tour is a free app that creates beautiful, intuitive tours for your open-source GitHub projects. My next goal is to make it possible for coders to install Carbon Ads so they can make money with their tours.

Create something great. Create something cool. Create something fun. With Tour, I want to help you focus on creating - while Tour takes care of introducing your app to the world.

Tour was created for you. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

And if you have any questions - ask away!

I’m excited to hear from you.

Marcelo

This looks interesting, but you really, really need a demo because I would really like to see how a tour works.
This looks cool, but I'm not familiar with the concept of a "tour" for a project. Can you point me to an example?

I'm currently trying to promote my open source project Mwmbl (in particular the crawler extension https://github.com/mwmbl/crawler-extension). I'm wondering what a tour would look like for it.

Hey Daoud,

First of all, thank you for your comment!

We've just released the GitHub app, so ATM the only available tour is one that I've published myself:

How a tour looks like on the website: [url-redacted]

How a tour looks like on the repository: [url-redacted]

If you need any help please reach out directly at [email-redacted]. I'll gladly assist you.

That's pretty cool, thanks! The loading page between each section seems unnecessary though.
