HN discussionThis seems similar to Appcues ( http://appcues.com/ ). Appcues is oriented at PMs though. I'm not sure what the market is for a product which requires messing with the HTML of the site.

HN discussionGreat work - this looks very cool. We'd be very interested in exploring it. We started looking into https://www.appcues.com/ but their pricing seems prohibitively expensive. They have a nice Chrome extension that allows nontechnical folks to easily create/customize the onboarding/tooltips for your app -- curious how your snippet will guide users through creation. Really excited for you!
