I understand this is still under development and I can't full judge the content unless I paid to unlock it. But this looks like a pay version of what is available on the freeCodeCamp[1]. freeCodeCamp is not only free, you can see the entire user story[2] before you take on the challenge, but for Workouts, you have to pay first to see the steps/user stories...<p>[1] <a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org" rel="nofollow">https://www.freecodecamp.org</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/front-end-libraries/front-end-libraries-projects/build-a-javascript-calculator" rel="nofollow">https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/front-end-libraries/front...</a>
Please take this comment as intended to be helpful, not rude:<p>I wouldn't pay money to learn web or mobile technologies from a site that didn't display well on mobile.
Too expensive. I'd pay $10 for a month of unlimited access to a site full of stuff but it doesn't seem like I'm getting much for the bucks here. Perhaps I'm wrong and the content is so good it's worth it, I didn't check so far.<p>BTW why is there )} at the end of every project description? Looks more like a bug than like a design feature.
I'm interested, but I'd want to see an example of the spec I'm going to build and the format of the instructions before giving my card number.
I like the idea a lot... Sometimes I don't have a personal project in mind and I'd like something more guided with which I could practice.<p>However, as others have said I'd need to see what I'm getting for the price. Particularly I'm interested in how the spec is laid out, and how the solution is laid out... From university I learned there's an art to building a pset where you give enough pointers but do not hold the student's hand's too much and that's what I'd be looking for - the right level of challenge, in a nutshell.<p>Maybe you should give out a project for free, or create a sample or similar...
I'm very interested, but could you perhaps provide a free open beta (perhaps invite-only) so I could see if this will help me learn before I give away money I don't have?
Very neat idea.<p>I did notice that there is not many platforms that support fullstack projects. A lot of it is simple bitesized function/method exercises (LeetCode, HackerRank, CodeSignal, etc.) and don't encompass building applications from spec.<p>There is definitely some resistance here on HN about pricing, but I wouldn't worry about it. There are plenty of people who pay $$$ for courses (Udemy, CodeCademy, PluralSight) so the market is there. If each workout provides at least about 1-2 hours of content, then the price is in-line, if not a bargain, compared some Udemy courses around the same length.<p>For what it's worth, while I understand that your business model is based around finder fees, there is an extreme amount of value from building a solid platform that can handle interactive fullstack courses like what you have so far. There is serious acquisition or licensing/support potential (enterprise onboarding) if this platform grows the correct feature set.
from <a href="https://real.dev/docs" rel="nofollow">https://real.dev/docs</a><p>> Can I share my code?<p>> We strongly recommend against sharing your code publicly. It will ruin the fun for everyone.<p>s/the fun for everyone/our business model/ ?<p>Once people catch on that solving these problems can lead to landing actual jobs, there's a certain kind of person who will share complete solutions, either widely or with some in-group they're in.<p>Once that happens, the companies you're partnering with will (okay, "might") start noticing quality issues with the candidates you're sourcing.<p>I don't have an answer to this problem. I don't understand the mind of the kind of person who shares interview problem solutions.
Clicked on Business and got "an unexpected error has occurred". Also, mobile experience is very much treated as a second class citizen on this site.<p>First thing I'm greeted by is "Unlock for $9.99". Instantly off-putting.<p>Curious though how real world does it go? I've got a course I've paid for lined up to do as my next project after I'm done with my current one which is making a clone of the internet banking experience of the bank I use. That course is a full AWS Serverless project that assumes you've already got AWS Developer Cert level of knowledge and the course is about how to a make production grade application. Pretty excited to go through it.<p>The real-worldness of being taken through something that is realistically complete to a production quality level is something I find pretty compelling because it's something ordinary tutorials never give you. That's worth money.

Don't do it! Just have fun and understand how stuff work and why they work as they do!<p>There is so much boring time in "doing real developer work"!<p>If you get time to invest, this is not how you want to invest it!
I like this, but it's primary draw for me might not be the expected stuff. Learning by building is a great method, but my problem is that I don't know what to build. This website can help me by providing me with a lot of options, simple -> complex. Great job!
Would be great if there could be niche workouts of Machine Learning projects. I can see a list of machine learning projects that aspiring ML practitioners can do to build strong skills and a portfolio companies would be interested in.
Would love to see something like this with an infrastructure component, teaching automated deploys on AWS/GCP/Aure and a CI pipeline.<p>Also it would be nice to see how to accomplish the same task across different stacks and languages.
would there be a way for users to submit projects (obviously there would need to be some sort of quality control)? I would think that this would be a quick way to expand the community.
