You just made my day. We worked hard on the on-boarding UX.

Ryan, it really shows. There is this shallow navigation depth to everything interesting; I don't have to hunt. Very clearly demarcated signs everywhere indicating where you can go and what you'll get. Topping all of that off is that the actual design/typography of the site is calm, easy on the eyes and attractive.

One minor issue: On windows XP/FF 3.6 the font is a little hard to read: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/543/201111041105.png/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/543/201111041105.png/ I'm not sure exactly what firefox is trying to do (since both IE 8 and chrome are better), but I thought I'd let you guys know.

  Thanks for the heads up. We're aware of it now and are working on a fix. Cheers.

The UX is great, I agree, but I can't stand how you put emphasis on every other word in the web design intro video. It reminded me of an Ira Glass segment where he talked about his early radio career (See http://transom.org/?p=6978 http://transom.org/?p=6978 and scroll down to "1. Learning Curve"). He also made this mistake, to the detriment of the story. Please fix this when you have time. Maybe consider hiring a professional actor to read the script in a more natural way.

  Definitely agreed, and really great example. It sounds like he is speaking to a 3 year old, which is super annoying and a big turnoff. Just speak normally, and people will have a much easier time handling it

You guys can market the web development videos for webOS devs also since webOS uses web languages for development.

    Sweeeet! Will you be mentioning something on twitter when this goes live? Or do you have a mailing list to which I can surrender my e-mail address?

    I'll be there with bells on. :)
