Love it. This is such a good idea.

The only limitation is that it's VS Code only. But, the JSON output means I could easily write a script to produce HTML that could be hosted for other devs to view.



Thanks! I’m keen to explore integration with GitHub in the near future (https://github.com/vsls-contrib/codetour/issues/10), in order to provide a browser-based “player”. That way, the knowledge in the tour isn’t limited to any one editor.

That said, I wanted to record the tours in a simple JSON file, specifically to enable interop with other tools. I’d love to hear any feedback you have on the experience and/or the format!


I would love to see it being available for GitHub/GitLab. Personally I use Sublime Text now.
