Hi Mic,
Thanks for your feedback. The framework does indeed highlight the UI
with an animated red circle. I've gone ahead and put up a demo video
on the framework's page so you can get a better feel for that it's like.
I have been wondering about how to add styled content to guides, and I
think a WebView is a good idea.
Thanks,
-- Daniel

Hi Daniel,
This looks like a great idea.
Having perused the page on your site (I can't test the framework at
the moment as I'm away from my Mac) it's not quite clear how the UI is
highlighted (is it done by actually drawing a red circle as shown in
the screenshots ?)
I feel it would be much clearer if you had a video on there showing
your demo app ?
Also, one recommendation is to use Webkit and render HTML in the pop
up rather than just text. It can be quite tiring on the eye's to read
paragraph after paragraph of plain text. Allowing the developer to
embed images or even videos (i.e. YouTube) would really enhance this
experience.

I'm pleased to announce the first release of KNAppGuide - an in-app
tutorial
framework inspired by Apple Guide of the System 7 era.
The framework was written because, well, Apple Guide was awesome. The
ability to guide your users through specific tasks in your
application
actually *IN* your application is wonderful, and gives a much
better user
experience than following a set of screenshots or whatever.
KNAppGuide
intends to being this idea into the modern world of Cocoa.
More information, screenshots, demo app and code are located at:
http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/code/knappguide/
I'd really appreciate any feedback.
