Well done. A couple of observations though...<p>RailsCasts: <i>"Early screencasts are free to watch, more recent ones require a $9/month subscription."</i><p>Not correct, Ryan still produces weekly free RailsCasts. Advanced topics and refreshed content require a subscription.<p><i>"all in the most soothing, wonderful voice to be heard on the Internet"</i><p>Steady there! And to my ear, it's a bit nasal (not intended as an insult, just an observation in light of the gushing comment quoted.)
Shameless plug, but here is something I'm currently working on: <a href="http://www.coursebacon.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.coursebacon.com/</a><p>I really like the "upvote" system you have. Let me know if you want access to all of the URLs on coursebacon (I can send you a copy of everything that's already on there).<p>Edit: My email is username @ gggmail.com
Many of the descriptions aren't nearly as good as they could be. I think if they were made to be editable like wiki pages they would be much better.<p>I have another idea: what if the link data were stored in the git repo, with pull requests to merge them, and only the votes and comments were added with the website?
Why not have downvotes too?<p>If you ask me, upvotes-only (as here on HN) works great if post get hidden when x time goes by. But AFAIK links "value" will not devalue over time on TYTC and therefore the early submissions will get ahead by far, even if they are of lower quality than the links posted later on.<p>Downvoting does not mean bullying, and I cant imagine people will be afraid to publish links with the risk of getting a downvote or two.<p>But I may be wrong, and please point that out, HN!<p>EDIT: Also, I wouldnt mind if there was an adsense ad on the left side of the list. A small tower one that would not be in the users face. I'd turn off adblock for you!
We just launched (in preview mode)..<p><a href="http://CodePupil.com" rel="nofollow">http://CodePupil.com</a><p>We have games where code flies around & u click in proper order <a href="http://codepupil.com/game5" rel="nofollow">http://codepupil.com/game5</a> -<p>Also, visual exercises that teach you how to build webpages in a crazy simple/fast sense <a href="http://codepupil.com/ex" rel="nofollow">http://codepupil.com/ex</a> (that's the aim).<p>Focused on HTML/CSS for now but creating games & exercises for other languages too.<p>You could say our focus is towards pupils - though you don't have to be young to be a pupil.
Thanks, guys! This was actually just a couple-of-weekends project - my main thing is <a href="http://scrollkit.com" rel="nofollow">http://scrollkit.com</a>. It's a lot cooler than this.
Great job for launching something! Not only did you accomplish that, but you're also making a noble attempt at sharing educational resources. Great work, and best of luck!
Really nice work. I will add to my favs to see how it grows. I am working in a voting system similar to this, but about books. The way that you handle the "language" on the right sidebar is simple and effective.<p>I don't get what the "<-- Back to Index " means. Maybe something on the views / links / index.html.haml
Looks promising. However I selected C++ and the first result was railscast? 2nd results also rails.<p>Seems like you are just pushing matched results to the top instead of removing unmatched results? Anyways with some work this could go in my bookmark bar.
Congrats on launching something cool. I think your server might have just gotten slashdotted, or something odd happened, as I'm getting an Application Error.<p>If you need any help debugging, shoot me a quick email (this username @ gmail.com)
Awesome stuff, blows my 'learning to code' tumblr out of the water. I'll definitely use in the future. Any background on how you put this together? I've got a vertical I think this would work really well in.
Kateray, this is awesome. I'm probably at the same place as you learning how to code and loving every minute of it. I couldn't agree more, everyone should know how to code - at least enough to be dangerous and prototype something up.<p>Great work!
