⏱️ Auto-Progress Countdown Bar
Steps with auto-progress enabled now display a visual countdown bar, giving viewers a clear indication of when the demo will advance to the next step. The countdown bar appears on the annotation overlay so viewers know exactly how much time they have before the transition.
📱 Mobile Demo Improvements
- Video bubbles and audio narration elements now stay visible and correctly positioned when viewing demos on mobile devices
- Step counter on mobile now counts all steps accurately, excluding chapter dividers
- Overlay progress bar is hidden in embedded mobile mode for a cleaner viewing experience
🎥 Improved Capture Fidelity
- Pages with iframes are now captured more reliably. The extension detects when a page contains iframes and shows a loading indicator while iframe content is still being captured, so you know when the recording is ready. Cross-origin frames and complex timing scenarios are handled automatically
- SVG elements with inline styles are now recorded accurately
- CSS class selectors are captured with higher fidelity, resolving issues on sites that use exact class attribute matching
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where viewers could scroll on zoomed-in steps, breaking the zoom positioning
- Fixed a theme flash (FOUC) when loading demos with custom branding
- Fixed collection data not refreshing correctly after updates
- Improved scroll reliability on pages with slower DOM rendering
