By the way your Onboarding step-by-step wizard[1] is really awesome. I've used similar scripts on my sites before but they keep breaking because the users often click on some div or button (or due to mobile phones) not intended (they're only learning) and then wizard can't sync to the next step and the whole thing breaks :/

Is this happening on your site? If not, would appreciate some tips about coding it and how to handle exception cases where the wizard can't keep in sync or user click on unintended page elements.

Thanks! We used this awesome library called React-Joyride (https://github.com/gilbarbara/react-joyride) which made setting up the product tour a breeze. Since our product tour is on a single-page app, it works quite well.

The most helpful part is that you can pass a callback which will trigger before/during/after each step, which can let you ensure that the state of the page matches what you're expecting. In our case, we use it to make sure that you're switched to the right tab, etc. Take a look! I highly recommend it.
