The editor guides creators through a cover image, introduction video, supplies list and per-step recordings that can be enhanced with voice-over, speed adjustments, music and filters. Creators can export full lessons in five border themes and seven aspect ratios for Instagram, IGTV, Snapchat Stories, YouTube or embedding.

The company has signed up featured creators across top categories and provides discovery via categories, themed collections and new/popular feeds, and it is working on a commenting feature to leave notes and substitution suggestions on steps.
