Minerva
Review & Alternatives (2026 Guide)

I've been watching @joaquin_roca patiently iterate on this product for years and I've never seen him more excited than right now. As a founder who runs a product - kumospace.com - that is used all over the world, we've tried 100 ways to hack internationalization but Minerva has finally made it easy. Let's go!

I want to love this platform so badly. The interactivity of the guides fits my industry and use-case perfectly. However, it's just way too laggy and seems to struggle with resource management. I was only dealing with a 25-30 step document which was shortened down to 15 steps, but even at 15 steps, deleting and rearranging steps was laggy to the point that steps I didn't intend to move were being moved or steps I intended to delete actually deleted a step way further down the guide. It also appears to struggle with split panes (switching focus to a secondary pane results in a black screenshot step but oddly still records the action correctly). I didn't include audio or added video, this guide was straight screenshot steps.

I would have subscribed immediately had it not of been the above. And no, my computer isn't underpowered by a long shot and I have fiber internet speed; so those can be ruled out.
