How we allowed users to customize the look & feel of our app with only 4 options

How's adoption of the customization looking? Curious to hear if this is resonating with people or if four options is not enough...or too many.

Too many would be interesting, but we could definitely drop it down to 2 or 3. I had thought about putting every option into an advanced tab, but figured that would add to clutter. We'll likely revisit it if people start asking for it.

So... Sounds like an interesting way of doing things. Put in a small number of useful features, then build in what people actually want! Not a bad approach.

;)

I'm totally lost as to what this does from the page, and I'm not going to use a bookmarklet for something I don't understand.

Sorry, I suppose I should have just linked to the landing page at the end of the article there (now amended).

Taurus allows users to create product tours using just a few lines of JS, the bookmarklet loads the tool onto the demo page.

Please please please do not make links with just the word "here" linked. That's usability and SEO horror.
