Show HN: Training site I made for my open source project
- johnwheeler 10y agoHi Everybody, I created an Open Source project for Amazon Echo development in Python and paid video tutorials. To advertise, I do a link on the github page: "Lighten your cognitive load. Level up with the $15 Alexa Skills Kit Video Tutorial." https://github.com/johnwheeler/flask-ask https://github.com/johnwheeler/flask-ask If you're willing to provide feedback on my videos, you can view them for free. Just send an e-mail to john@johnwheeler.org. I used: * Camtasia2 for screen recording * Blue Snowball Yeti mic * Neewer articulating mic stand * Neewer mic pop filter The payments were easy with Amazon payments: Copy and paste payment button code. I do hosting on DigitalOcean. To deploy I use fabric. I also have a quick and dirty fabric task, create_user, that will provision a new user if someone buys the tutorial (since I'm not processing many orders). The videos are a lot of work, but you get a process down, and it's fun. At first, one video took me all day, and it was poor. Now, I can do several in a day, and the quality is better. I'll open source the training site code, so you can do the same on your projects if interested.
