Looks good! The tutorial is probably great for some class of users, but I thought your UI was self-explanatory enough to not need it, at least beyond knowing to drag-and-drop fields. Maybe add an "exit tutorial" button somewhere?

Bug report: my form seems to be stuck in an infinite loop on the first question ("what's your email address?") -- after answering it, it flashes the next question ("what's your email", which I added), but then goes back to the first question. This is on the web; haven't tried the mobile app. https://www.getformly.com/forms/821084b0-73c8-4b96-a85e-53db...?




Thanks for the feedback Brian. Glad to hear my UI is self-explanatory, I've worked hard on it :)

There's a x on the top right of every guider to end the demo. Did you just miss it? Is that not obvious enough as an "exit tutorial" button ?

Will look into the bug, I added the "What is your email address?" question very last minute after some initial feedback.


Ah, I didn't try that button. I think I subconsciously assumed that the X would just close a single dialog, not the whole tutorial.

The automatic "what is your email address?" question seems a little weird to me. As a form creator, it's easy enough to add if I want to ask that question, and that lets me keep control over the experience. There could be cases where I may not want to ask for an email address, or maybe I want to put it in the middle or the end of the form. And as an aside--isn't the email address implied by the URL I clicked on, which was sent to my email?
