Coming Soon: Visual walkthroughs for every feature

🎬

Current Status

No video tutorials exist yet, but this page outlines exactly what should be built based on feature complexity and user needs.

This framework prioritizes visual learners who prefer seeing features in action rather than reading documentation. Each tutorial is designed to be concise, actionable, and focused on real-world workflows.

📚 Tutorial Categories

🚀

Getting Started (5-10 minutes each)

Essential onboarding for new users

🎥 Suggested Production Approach

Visual Style

  • • Screen recordings with minimal UI chrome
  • • Annotation overlays on clicked elements
  • • Optional PiP webcam for complex topics
  • • Cursor highlights for better follow-along

Audio Quality

  • • Clear narration (good mic required)
  • • Conversational tone
  • • Focus: "How I'd use this" not "What this does"
  • • Cut the fluff (no "um"s, no dead air)

Length Discipline

  • • Getting Started: 5-10 min max
  • • Core Features: 10-15 min
  • • Advanced: 15-20 min
  • • Chapters/timestamps required (5+ min)

Editing Philosophy

Show, don't tell. Prefer live demo over explaining what will happen. Jump cuts welcome to keep pace quick and respect viewer time. Use real workflows with actual data, not canned examples.
