Who among us has not encountered the need to do something on our own, but did not know “how exactly”? Personally, I have repeatedly. That it is necessary to adjust the magnilola in the car, then to find a certain serial number on the unit. Tasks are different. And in the search for answers to the questions I went to the thematic forums. However, this concerns not only cars, but any area of our life. Some people ask questions, while others answer.
One of the most common answers to the question "how to do it" is a step-by-step instruction in the style of "you take it here, fasten it here." A person looks at it, reads, repeats actions and gets a solved task. Such instructions are either posted on the forum in messages, either as a file (in the popular format), or referred to the source site. In any case, such assistance works. I decided to go a little further on this issue and offer an online service for creating such kind of instructions (handbooks).
The basic idea is as follows: the site has a tool for quickly and easily creating instructions and saving it in a specific format (now JSON is used for storage). This instruction can be viewed on the same site and place a link on the forum or blog. The main elements of the instruction are “steps”. Inside each step, the author has text, images and tags (placed on top of the image). On the instruction page, the visitor can copy the html code of the link to insert. In addition to the usual links, I also plan to place the javascript code for widgets. However, I understand that the likelihood of its placement on other sites is very low due to mistrust of such scripts.

Currently, the
site has several test instructions and a demo mode for editing, in which you can practice.
Below, in the screenshot, the first step of the instruction "
Making sushi yourself ." The creation of this manual took no more than 10 minutes, considering that the photos were already on the hosting.

I am interested in the opinion of the community about how I “hit the target” with the need for such a service. And if, nevertheless, I got there, then the opinion about “what is missing”.
Thank you for reading this line.
