I’m the builder behind Firstrun (https://firstrun.dev). It’s a tool that takes your static documentation and turns it into interactive, step-by-step walkthroughs that you can embed anywhere.
The Problem:
Every developer knows the pain of spending hours writing great documentation, only for users to skim it, miss a crucial step, and open a support ticket saying "it doesn't work."
Static text and outdated screenshots just aren't great for complex setups or onboarding flows.
What Firstrun does:
I wanted to build the fastest way to create interactive guides without needing heavy engineering time or a bloated enterprise tool.
Create: You add your content (or extract steps from existing docs).
Generate: Firstrun turns it into a clean, interactive step-by-step UI.
Embed: You drop a simple script tag into your docs site or SaaS app.
Track: It gives you analytics on exactly where users are dropping off or failing, so you know which step of your setup is confusing them.

I’d love to get your feedback on the UX and the embedded widget. Does this solve a pain point for your SaaS or open-source projects?
How do you currently handle onboarding flows and interactive docs?
Happy to answer any technical questions!
