Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

When we release a feature, we'd like to be able to guide the user on how to use it. This may be through a wizard on the screen, or an overlay.

Describe the solution you'd like

An onboarding wizard builder tool in PostHog, to compliment features released behind a feature flag.

Nice to haves:

  • Criteria of when to show i.e. show after user has seen page N times

Examples:

Describe alternatives you've considered

Other tools, that frankly are not good!

Additional context

Conversation with @paolodamico on Slack,

Thank you for your feature request – we love each and every one!

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by defining the wizard builder's scope and how it relates to feature flags and page-view criteria; done would require an agreed implementation that supports in-app guides or overlays and the requested display conditions.
