Massive feature missing: last updated date.<p>I would NEVER buy a screencast, tutorial, or anything on web development without knowing EXACTLY when it was last updated. For example, the paid Ember screencasts claim to go over the Ember router - how do I know whether it was the old beta router, the RC1 router, or the RC6 "Promise-ified" router?
You guys really need a "Date Published" field on each screencast and a "Date Updated" if it has been updated. I was about to buy the Backbone + Rails bundle but I was apprehensive because what if it's really outdated? Lynda.com displays a publish date, it's useful.
Why are people willing to pay for screencasts(of any quality), but NEVER for a well written article over the same thing.<p>I personally hate trying to learn things from videos. I can't search it. I can't copy and paste code from it. I can't skim over it. Later review and skimming ahead is lousy, at best, impossible at worst.<p>The only thing screencasts have going for them is that they are (in general) easier to create than a well written article. The difference for readers/viewers though is substantial.
Is this done by the people at Treehouse <i>[1]</i>? It looks like the design/layout is very much inspired by them, at the least. If they are not associated to Treehouse, they may need to think about making their design a bit more unique, because some might try to call that out as a rip.<p>[1] <a href="http://teamtreehouse.com/" rel="nofollow">http://teamtreehouse.com/</a>
I am actively trying to watch some videos on Bitcast at the moment. I love it by the way great concept and great way of setting it all out although I am hitting a wall with a 404 when trying to view a video.<p>GET <a href="https://data.sublimevideo.net/js/kcvkz080-beta.js" rel="nofollow">https://data.sublimevideo.net/js/kcvkz080-beta.js</a> 404 (Not Found)<p>This makes it quite hard to watch the videos.
One thing I learned from watching MicroConf presentations online: Make it about them (the users) not you. The title reads "We Love Screencasts". According to the marketing gurus this should instead focus on your audience (because we only care about ourselves, you know).<p>Oh and it seems the favicon has an odd white background :-?<p>Other than that, the site looks extremely sleek :)
I don't understand why y'all chose the screencasts niche as opposed to, say, music education.<p>What's your reasoning, and how you plan on differentiating yourself for content creators from, say, a YouTube Partner network?
