    Hey! Congrats on the launch :)

    Have a question: Are all these videos produced by you? If yes, wow, kudos for the effort!

    If not, was wondering whether adding custom controls over the YouTube video (thereby not giving the user the ability to find the original creator easily) is ethical, considering the content is someone else's and there's no proper crediting being done.

    Aaron, just wanted to let you know I am almost through my first vue.js tutorial on your site!

    I have a bit more feedback if you care to hear:

    1. I am on a large screen, but there is no option for a large video, just full screen. I would love to see an option for a "large" player like Youtube, maybe even take up half the screen (either left, or top).

    2. This is probably super hard to do ... but it would be awesome to have jsfiddle function right within your site. Nothing would make me happier than not having to leave the browser screen to do my coding. Again, it would be helpful to see a very large player so I can see the code and type as I watch it (this is what I did yesterday but on 2 screens that I have here...)

    These series are higher quality than what I normally see on Udemy... I can definitely see the advantage of pulling from the vast ocean of YouTube. The one thing I'd be careful about is putting your logo as a video cover on someone else's work if they have no relationship with your site.

    I like this! As a beginner I would love to see a tab that just says start here, instead of a bunch of options. I mean those are great for people who know what to learn but as someone starting from scratch I’d like to just be told where to start and have the app guide me to the level I want to get to.

      That seems like a great idea and makes sense. I think I'll add some more curated categories around the fundamentals of web development.

    Very cool! I second @p3vch comment on a voting system. Great job!

      Seems a sensible idea. I'll add a voting system

    personally i liked it. everything is good.

    Yeah, I like this too. It feels really nice.

    What's the plan with it? The videos are currently just free videos from YouTube? Nice to have filtered videos, cut out all the bad stuff there is on YouTube. Curious to know where you see it going.

      Hey, I originally built this to try out a new framework. I built it around September time but it had just been sat in my product graveyard since then. I haven't even shown in to anyone. I just thought today I'd share it and gage what the reaction might be to it. The truth is I don't have any big plans for it for the future unless I start to see people using it.

    Videos are the most efficient way to learn to code. I really dig the site. I would highly recommend adding "Let's Build That App's" youtube channel. A voting system that ranks the best quality videos would also be cool. Great work. What is the stack?

    1. 1

      Hey thanks for the feedback. Cool. I'll definitely add that youtube channel.
