Why didn't you just send people to https://scribehow.com/? It explains the product so much.
I'd love to see some examples of this other than just little animations on the main screen. Right now it's just simple animations and a request to register.
The world is full of "solutions", as is my inbox from products I had to sign up for just to see what it did. Not sure I want to bother with that barrier to entry just to evaluate (and get on some mail list).
My first question when I saw this was if the produced documentation was persisted in scribehow's servers and if it would ever work on pages not accessible from open web
Me and my cofounder originally set out to build an RPA tool. Along the way, we discovered that the bigger problem most teams were facing had to do with capturing and sharing each individual’s specialized knowledge. Most of this knowledge wasn’t written down, let alone stored in some sort of shareable format. With hybrid and remote working models becoming the new norm, this struck us as a problem that really couldn’t wait any longer, so we decided to address this need instead.
We wanted to create something that felt quite different to the manual and tedious nature that’s often associated with putting together process documentation or how-to guides. That meant that Scribe had to be able to intelligently recognize the key steps in your process, while still feeling very lightweight and easy to use.
The tool generates instructions and screenshots based on your clicks and keystrokes to build your step-by-step guide--to do this, there were a few key technical challenges we had to solve: 1. Going from a set of keystrokes and clicks to actual steps 2. Recognizing when to take the screenshot (i.e. before you do a key action) 3. Reconciling different DPI screens (pixel densities) 4. Automatically identifying and combining similar (but distinct) steps
We have Basic (free) and Pro (paid) tiers. Basic gives you a Chrome extension to record web-based apps while Pro comes with a desktop recorder so you can record any program on your computer. I’d love to hear your feedback on either. If you’d like to check out Pro, you can use the code HN2021 after you sign up for a one-month free trial.
Echoing what another person here said, I'd really like to see some decent examples of the end result - I love the idea of Scribe, but a small screenshot and a small gif really isn't hooking me in to spend the time to find out more.
the team has been building this product quietly over the past year and a half, and we launched last month on PH.

User accounts are not required to view Scribes, and yes, users are able to export and copy the created guides.
I'm being picky but I'm also pretty intrigued. The idea is quite nice.
For work use, we need on-premise only and can’t have internal tools exposed/captured by external tools.
