## What it is
Bootstro.js is a tiny JavaScript library that uses Bootstrap popovers to create step-by-step guided tours of a website's interface. It helps orient first-time users by highlighting page elements sequentially with navigation controls.

## Use cases
- show first-time users a guided tour of a page
- create an onboarding walkthrough with bootstrap popovers
- highlight UI elements step by step for new users
- add a product tour to a bootstrap-based website
- load tour steps via ajax instead of HTML attributes

## When to choose
- your site already uses Bootstrap 2 or 3 and you want a lightweight tour overlay
- you need a simple, dependency-light onboarding slideshow without multi-page support

## When to avoid
- your project doesn't use Bootstrap, since the library depends on Bootstrap popovers
- you need multi-page tours, test coverage, or active maintenance - consider alternatives like Hopscotch or Intro.js
- you need a library under active development; the last release was 2018
