THIS tool will SAVE you 70% of your TIME as a developer

Every developer gets FRUSTRETED creating user-guides for their audience. But this tool will create guides within NO TIME. Take a lookΒ below.

Unlike other articles, I'm not going to tell you a long old story. INSTEAD if you stick to the end. You will save a great amount of time as a developer or if you're a product manager or someone who teaches people how to use their product or service.

The Problem 😫

When it comes to creating user guides for an audience the typical process goes like this.

  1. Record the video of the whole process OR take a screenshot of each process.
  2. Place text at each point.
  3. Combine them (πŸ™„)
  4. Gives you a long video OR a pdf. Which isn't cool (at least for me).

This process is so lengthy and time consuming.

The solution I foundΒ πŸ˜€

Tango is a tool to create user-guides which record each step and it adds text and step by step commands for user to follow. And it saved my time a lot. It's free to use. And also you can share not a big pdf but a link!

See this example πŸ€–

In this example, I'll build a workflow for Super URL.

What i really liked 😍

Ofcourse this simplifies creating user-guides for users but one more thing which impressed me was different types of export options.

  • Export HTML / Markdown
  • Download as PDF
  • Embed live guide

If you've made a product that requires a video or a PDF to explain how to use it, you may want to go back and rethink the UX/UI
