Step 3: Repeat

A guide holds up to 30 steps.

Step 4: Write captions

Open the guide, name it and type a line under each step.

Use the arrows to move a step and the cross to remove it.

Where it lives

GoFully keeps the guide in your browser's local storage. Images are shrunk to fit, so thirty steps stay well inside the storage limit. Clear removes the guide.
