Minerva Pro — A better way to capture and share process online

Minerva is the easiest way to capture and share clickable instructions for anything on the internet. No screenshots. No red arrows. No videos. Just step-by-step guidance. The Minerva Chrome extension lets you embed complex documentation into a URL!

Really excited to start using this product for customer conversations. Recording a loom or taking screenshots/adding arrows is a duplication of effort. - I need to record/share the instructions - The user then needs to watch + parse the instructions - The user then needs to then follow the instructions in their own instance Minerva cuts out the middle step. I can share the recipe and they can instantly jump into action. What's also great is that I can save and use the same recipe over and over again for future conversations.

Hi, Hunters, it’s great to be back on Product Hunt! Thanks to everyone who voted on our last Product Hunt release. 🔊 Today we’re proud to release Minerva’s Capture feature, AND Pro tools. Download the extension, create an account, and capture clickable step-by-step instructions on any website! No credit card required. No free trial. Create and use as many recipes as you’d like for free! 💰 AND, we’re offering $1,000 to a community organization responding to COVID*. For every new user that we get TODAY we’ll be donating an additional $1 to that organization (up to $5,000). 🤷 Want us to choose your community? Create a Minerva recipe to help people sign up to get vaccinated and Tweet it @minervaknows using the hashtag #MinervaCovidResponse. If your recipe is used the most, we’ll coordinate with you to make sure the donation goes to the right place! 👐 All recipes you create with Minerva are public by default. We believe Minerva recipes should be available for everyone to benefit from. You should be able to help your grandma use the internet to sign up for a COVID vaccination, and you shouldn’t have to pay for that. And if someone else needs to help their grandparents, they should just be able to share the recipe you created. 💻 Questions? We are livestreaming on Zoom all day today! → 8am to 8pm ET. http://bit.ly/37TXJQG ♻️ We will be offering our Pro tools on subscription basis in the future, but they are entirely accessible today without a subscription. The team has grown since the last time we were here, and now @joaquin_roca @ctwoodnyc @iamrgon @pcrysdale @jamie_nikosey @theonf @minerva_mhgbrown @davinchew @daniel_vega1 @jon_belsky @jolieadam and I are so excited to be sharing that you can now create your own recipes! It’s free, so go ahead and create as many as you’d like! We will be livestreaming along with many special guests throughout the day (see the lineup below). Have questions? Curious?

We’d love to hear ALL of your feedback. It will only help us get better. And please share Minerva with anyone that you think should know about us. Finally, we wouldn’t exist without the support of many, many people. Thank you to our families, our investors, and a special shout to @trace_cohen for hunting us! * For our #MinervaCovidResponse promotion today, we’ll be sending the money to a community organization responding to the COVID crisis in the zip code of the user who creates the most followed COVID response recipe over the next week.

Hey all, we love Product feedback at Minerva. Please let us know how you want to use Minerva. What works well? What doesn't? Hit me up!
Rogue London
So am I right in assuming we couldnt use this for any mobile apps? I would love to create some around Instagram and Tik Tok use with the native IG and tik tok feel.
Joaquin Roca
@iamroguelondon we would love to support mobile apps, and we plan to, but we aren't there just yet.
Joaquin Roca
@iamroguelondon thank you!
Craig T. Wood
@iamroguelondon I'm curious - who would you be creating these recipes for?
Rogue London
@ctwoodnyc My audience of course creators. I create growth content for digital course creators which covers the strategic use of social apps.
Pericles Theodorou
Huge fan of the product 🥳🤙
Joaquin Roca
@periclestheo thank you, Pericles!
Riegie Jeyaranchen
Cool app. I could see this explode within the foodie community!
Joaquin Roca
@riegiegodwin Thanks, Riegie!
Craig T. Wood
@riegiegodwin great thought, Riegie! Can you say more about how you see the foodie community using this? Would appreciate your insight!
Zane Groshelle
Bravo, Minerva!~ this product is great
Jolie Adam
@zgroshelle Appreciate the love!
Peter Crysdale
@zgroshelle zoinks! Thanks Zane!!
Christian Giordano
So you need the browser extension to follow a recipe? Is there a way to embed code to a website you own so that people can follow recipes on it without the browser extension? Thanks!
Joaquin Roca
@nuthinking hi, Christian! Yes, we have an sdk. If you're interested in using that, reach out to us at hello at minervaknows.com!
Christian Giordano
@joaquin_roca Great! Do you have an example of recipe I can follow without browser extension? Thanks!
Joaquin Roca
@nuthinking for some reason it isn't letting me put the link here. I can post it to Twitter or LinkedIn for you. Which would be easiest for you?
Mathieu Guerville
Love this tool, 10x easier to deploy than other walkthrough tools and recipes are super lightweight while being way more useful for learning than a screen recording video
Joaquin Roca
@mattmg83 thank you, Mathieu, and thanks for dropping by and connecting with us!
Joaquin Roca
Hi, everyone, we're really excited to be back! I can't wait to see what recipes the community build with Minerva. Today we're hoping to help make it easier for people around the world to get their Covid vaccinations, so if you're able, go ahead and create a recipe to help people sign up to get vaccinated, then tweet it out with #MinervaCovidResponse. Let's see if we can do some good!
Max Prilutskiy

@kellet_atkinson Appreciate the kind words and support! We're so excited to welcome new members and see all the wonderful recipes being cooked up.
Craig T. Wood
Hey @kellet_atkinson, how are you using Minerva? From one Product person to another, what can we do better?
Joaquin Roca
@kellet_atkinson Kellet! Thank you for dropping by. I still owe you a few recipes. I promise I haven't forgotten! Speak soon.
Kellet Atkinson
Hi Craig, Joaquin and I were playing with adding some complementary recipes to tutorials on DZone. I also have been playing with ways to help people navigate our site and share content. I love how easy Minerva is. Would love to leverage the sdk so all DZone visitors could see and use the recipes. In the meantime, we will share the extension with our community when we have some recipes that correspond with tutorials.
Craig T. Wood
@kellet_atkinson hell yeah. The SDK is killer - glad you see the opportunity there.
