Hi, I’m actively exploring around the Meta community to learn how Discourse works and could be set up for my own new community.

I’m often asking, “Now how do they do that?” Is it via a plugin, a theme component, a setting, a custom feature they hand-coded?

It would be great if there were some kind of **learner’s mode** I could switch on and get tooltips for various features and functionalities implemented on the the Meta site.

Next level would be if learner tooltips could link directly to the relevant documentation, plug-in, theme component, guide, or topic.

Learning the ins and outs of Discourse is fascinating, but now I’m overwhelmed. I’m actually stalled on getting my community up and running because I keep thinking, “Oh, I need that!” – and then I spend way too long trying to figure out how to do it, or (first) how hard or easy it would be to implement.
