## What it is
React Joyride is a React library for creating step-by-step guided tours and interactive walkthroughs in web applications. It provides component and hook APIs with customizable tooltips, beacons, overlays, and built-in accessibility support.

## Use cases
- add a product tour to onboard new users
- showcase new features with interactive tooltips
- create a step-by-step walkthrough of a dashboard
- build an accessible onboarding flow with keyboard navigation
- highlight UI elements with a customizable tour overlay
- implement a controlled tour with custom tooltip components

## When to choose
- you have a React 16.8+ app and need guided tours or onboarding walkthroughs
- you need SSR compatibility with Next.js or Remix
- accessibility (focus trap, ARIA, keyboard navigation) is a requirement
- you want customizable tour components and an event-driven flow

## When to avoid
- your app is not built with React
- you need tours in a native mobile app rather than the web
- you only need simple static tooltips without tour flow logic

- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
