Show HN: Bitcast.io – A marketplace for web development tutorials

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 &quot;Promise-ified&quot; router?

You guys really need a &quot;Date Published&quot; field on each screencast and a &quot;Date Updated&quot; if it has been updated. I was about to buy the Backbone + Rails bundle but I was apprehensive because what if it&#x27;s really outdated? Lynda.com displays a publish date, it&#x27;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&#x27;t search it. I can&#x27;t copy and paste code from it. I can&#x27;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&#x2F;viewers though is substantial.

Is this done by the people at Treehouse <i>[1]</i>? It looks like the design&#x2F;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;teamtreehouse.com&#x2F;</a>

This may get shot down, but why no PHP? I know its not cool and trendy but it works dam well.

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:&#x2F;&#x2F;data.sublimevideo.net&#x2F;js&#x2F;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 &quot;We Love Screencasts&quot;. 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&#x27;t understand why y&#x27;all chose the screencasts niche as opposed to, say, music education.<p>What&#x27;s your reasoning, and how you plan on differentiating yourself for content creators from, say, a YouTube Partner network?

Should be renamed &quot;A marketplace for Ruby on Rails tutorials&quot;.

I really like this, please make more videos more towards Python and Javascript.<p>I would love some PHP but that&#x27;s asking for to much.

This makes me sick. Web development tutorials should be free and open for the sake of learning and spreading information (as per the last 10 years).
