Good stuff. Thanks for all the effort you've put into it.
One suggestion: Make it more obvious that the courses are on GitHub.
I make a point to avoid reddit as much as possible, which means I don't know how to interact with reddit's interface. When I tried to view the course via reddit, I had a lot of trouble locating the actual lessons. They were out of order, and I had to shift through other users' threats ('I missed day X!' 'Here's my journal on my progress...').
Honestly, had I not randomly clicked on the GitHub repo, I would've moved onto something else. I'm glad I didn't, but yeah... pushing people onto reddit limits your audience.
- snori74 6y agoThanks, and I appreciate your comment. Things do get a little messy, but overall I've been happy with Reddit as a platform - once I figured out to pin a big FAQ ("How This Works") posting. Noone seems to read the sidebar :-(
- washadjeffmad 6y agoThe sidebar might not be loading for everyone. Mine doesn't unless I browse old.reddit.com on a computer, for some reason. Reddit also cripples their mobile experience on web, so unless your audience is existing redditors on computers or with the app, they're likely getting a poorer or more inconsistent experience than you see. Thanks for the great work, I hope to revisit it without the hurdles someday.
