## What it is
Joyride is a jQuery plugin for creating guided feature tours and onboarding walkthroughs on websites, originally built as a plugin for Foundation for Sites but also usable standalone. It displays step-by-step tooltips pointing at page elements, with responsive positioning, modal steps, and pause/resume/restart controls.

## Use cases
- add a guided product tour to a website
- create onboarding walkthroughs for new users
- show tooltips highlighting UI features step by step
- build a site tour wizard with jQuery
- explain new features to visitors with a tour overlay

## When to choose
- your site already uses jQuery or Foundation for Sites
- you need a lightweight, configurable feature tour with responsive tooltips
- you want declarative tour steps defined in HTML markup

## When to avoid
- you use a modern framework like React or Vue without jQuery
- you need an actively maintained project with ongoing support
- you require advanced tour features like video steps or analytics out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: frontend, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: browser
- tags: jquery-plugin, feature-tour, onboarding, site-tour, tooltips, foundation-sites, javascript, nodejs
