This is my Hackathon project for introducing a guide tool for new users to better navigate and familiarize themselves with headlamp.

The guide is accessible in the sidebar from everywhere in the project, clicking the "Guide" button will display the guide menu.

This menu allows users to select from a range of topics, with each topic housing questions related to using and navigating headlamp. (things like "how do I delete a cluster?" "how do I add a resource?" etc)

Most questions will come with an interactive "Show Me" option, which will highlight different parts of the UI and provide informational tooltips. This would allow users to have a more guided experience while also learning different areas and features of the project.

I would like to improve on a few things in the future:

  • have a walkthough experience with a progress bar
  • have an "out of the box" experience where we set up clusters and resources for new users (foundation is here for it)

To do:

  • when minikube is added by default, make a easy start path
