I'm Afshin, the author of intro.js

As you mentioned in this thread, you just used intro.js idea to show the steps, showing tooltips and more...

Why you didn't mention that in the Github repository also?

Hi Afshin,

I'd love to so had Bootstro.js been a follow-up of intro.js. But it is not.

I already said so in the demo that I had this idea & implementation before intro.js was released , I even asked around #css & #jquery for some help on how to highlight the div and I also expressed my idea there in the channel [1]

Apart from trying to show the authenticity of Bootstro.js so that you & others don't take me wrong, I'd like to thank you for releasing intro.js and triggering HN's love of the idea which made me excited to try modularizing Bootstro.js & release. Being on HN's front page is a lot more "sexy".

Cheers, from Hanoi to Tehran ^^

Edit: Typo

but I really confused that if you have this idea before, why you didn't published it on the Github partially?

You oldest commit is for 1 day ago.

I made it as part of SandPHP's JS suite and SandPHP is still a private repo. OTOH, I've just checked your first intro.js commit is Mar 10, 2013 and I asked around IRC on the 9th and you're asking for a DMCA takedown sigh...
