Excellent But showing some error during editing. may be because it's in beta phase.

The actual product looks to be OK, but then I noticed there is a 10 guide limit!! What is the point of that?

I think Guide Creator sounds like a really useful tool for creating how-to guides. The ability to automatically capture screenshots as you navigate the web seems like it would save a lot of time and effort compared to manually taking and organizing screenshots. Additionally, being able to easily edit and share the resulting step-by-step guide is a great feature. Overall, it seems like Guide Creator could be a valuable asset for anyone who needs to create instructional materials.
