I was kind of hoping this would be a service that sends you a postcard each week with some information and exercises that you're expected to do without a computer. Maybe the postcard could be scantron-able so the customer simply does the work in a notebook then fills in the bubbles on the card then gets a grade for the last week stamped on the card that comes the following week (or maybe that's going too far with the no computer policy and there can be a website that shows what questions you got wrong).
I'd pay a few bucks a week for something like that.

- gt565k 12y agoI think people's email inboxes are so cluttered, that things get easily dismissed. Receiving an actual letter in the email, now that's something I haven't experienced in a while!

- joshuapants 12y agoNovelty, as said below. Also, it removes a possible level of distraction. It's harder to get distracted when you go right from the mailbox to the kitchen table with a pad and pen than it is when you have to open an email and avoid switching to your other tabs.
- GuiA 12y agoIt'd be cool if someone did this and used the profits to run a "Teach inmates how to code" program based on OP's initial attempt.
- joshuapants 12y agoThat's an even better idea! Like Warby Parker or Tom's Shoes, one subscription paid for equals a free subscription to inmates/disadvantaged youths/etc.
