   Hi, it's actually $29 for the entire course, of which this post is just one chapter. Was there some content that suggested it was $29 for just this chapter? I need to fix that if so!

   Yeah, I used the perspective tool in GIMP for that. That was the main bit of "editing in post". I was saying earlier, it would be cool if there was an ML tool for adding/modifying text in images. Similar to how there are addi

   Hi! Do you think there's any way we can make it clearer what's going on? I put "free preview" at the top, but perhaps it can be easily missed.

   We've been writing a data science course [1] which feels like a game. Although it's more like Monkey Island meets MS Encarta, or a choose-your-own-adventure. It's a written story, where you frequently make choices through mul

   Ooh, that's nice progress! At TigYog we're actually using Stripe Elements - not Checkout or products - so I think this can't work for us yet. It would be cool if you exposed some of this functionality in Elements. I'm no

   After consideration, I think I'll go with this option. We can actually go even lower effort: add a discount code for this, and just say "get in touch if the US price is unreasonable for your country" or similar. Thanks for re

    Thank you! I thought "I've never heard of Pluto.jl", but then realized I've seen it a lot in that course by Grant Sanderson! At some point TigYog will have interactivity like that :) Good spot on the table. I'll edi

    Thanks, such positive comments give me strength to continue! (I recognize though that I may have gone overboard with silly styles in some places ...) The next chapter should be out next month - stay tuned! (Which reminds me, we should proba

    Hi! I wonder whether we could win you back with the course? We've reworked so much of the content, I hope you'd find those problems are gone! (Although the course is not on higher quality paper)

    Hi! What are the main things you'd remove? E.g. maybe we've gone too heavy with the illustrations, or sounds?

    Hi! I'm the solo developer of TigYog.app. I've been working with Andrew to build out the course. What percentage would you consider appropriate? It's set at 20% essentially because I have rent and bills to pay :-)

    Thanks! :-) That's a great point, I'll look at adding PayPal. (In the meantime, anyone in this situation: send me an email and I'll can sort something out for you! - jameshfisher@gmail.com)

    Thanks for the feedback! Did you mean the "I’ve worked at Google Brain and OpenAI" in the second para? Also, yeah, Distill is amazing ! Every post is a work of art. Learned so much from it.

    Haha!! Excellent question. So this is our fourth round of testing messages. We didn't want to A/B on HN cause that kinda feels disingenuous! But we've definitely been crunching things like conversion rates. (Edit: this commen

    Everyday Data Science is the first course on TigYog [1], a platform I'm building. Most courses are video-based, but TigYog courses are more like books. The only addition is multiple-choice buttons with responses. This lets you simulate

    Thanks, I see. I'm using Slate for TigYog.app, and fairly happy with it, but neither CJK nor Android are important there. Btw I'd love to see any public posts about the architecture of the Notion editor!

    What is that slightly blackletter font being used for the title? [1] I like it, but it seems to not be used in the interactive example. [1]: https://learnui.design/tools/img/typography-tutorial/tmatag-...
