I went through the tutorial, but the thing it generated at the end (that I couldn't scroll though) looked like a document (think Word or a web page)? Is there a sample result? Couldn't find anything on the page.

This looks like Windows Steps Recorder† for a web page / web app?

The thing I most wanted to see was a real example of documentation created using this tool, but I couldn't find that from scanning through the home page.


Pixelated blurring is I’m sure prettier than black rectangles, but it carries the potential to cause major legal pain to whomever implements it as a way to “hide” sensitive information.


Easy fix: take a dark color sample and a light color sample from within the rectangle, fill with randomized solid noise, pixelize blur, then gradient map with the color samples.


This is a great project, very useful!

One comment is that if you try to export a PDF containing unicode characters you'll get garbage. Here's a sample I created: https://app.tango.us/app/workflow/9e4b9623-3bd3-4209-8a18-e3...

If you export this to PDF you won't see the greek characters anymore :(


Tango .... step-by-step. Intentional?


It takes two?


Flameshot was posted on here a couple days ago. I always used that for documentation and it works very well.


"Sorry, the demo is unavailable on mobile devices.

Please visit on a desktop computer."

Why though


great tool! very similar to Scribehow. does it provide different features than Scribehow https://scribehow.com/ ?


Does it work with desktop apps? I couldn't parse this info among all the marketing babble.


No, it only works on web apps and you have to use Chrome :(


We've recently been using this at work, and it's seriously amazing.


Was the little animated gifs the end results? Looks pretty sick if it is.


Wow — amazing if it makes animated gifs - I am always doing this manual!
