One common theme we found between our onboarding experiences is that it was often difficult to start working on a project. Typically we went through many rounds of discussions to actually understand the flow of the code. Tools like Dropbox Paper and Confluence are great at communicating high-level specifications for engineers, but fail to capture nuances needed for new engineers to continue developing.

Codeflow is our attempt at a solution. It allows engineers to easily build powerpoint-like tutorials, which focus on stepping through the code logically. We hope it can become a centralized repository of tutorials designed to capture an engineer's thought process and make ramp up more efficient.

Here's an example of a tutorial built using Codeflow:

At this stage, we're hoping for feedback as we try to validate this approach. Any and all thoughts are appreciated.
