Awesome stuff, congrats on the launch! Super fast way to document processes — and even faster for the viewer since it focuses on the important highlights. Better than video for sharing step-by-step workflows!
-Mark Lamb, Product Design & Strategy
I’m amazed at how easy Tango makes it to create explanatory workflows for everyone. This feels like the new standard in creating user guides and tutorials, without having to spend hours writing up documentation or stitching screenshots.
– David Khourshid
Congrats on the launch! It’s a brilliant idea and solves a problem for me as I find creating documentation slow and tedious. I just installed the extension and tested on a new function we’re building and 2 minutes later Tango had created perfect documentation.
I’ve shared with my co-founder and I’m sure we’ll be using Tango over the next few days to build up our documentation. Thank you for building this! 🙂
