    That's true, it doesn't match location at the moment, but we may add something like that in the future if that's what people want. Hopefully as more people sign up, our algorithm w…

    Very good question. I would recommend doing both I suppose. On Stacks, we match you up with buddies based on all of the courses you are interested in rather than just one. So our a…

    I'll take a look at this and see what we can do. If you email me at admin@stacks.courses, I can make sure we reach out to you when/if we add fast.ai

    The gray overlay is supposed to highlight the search bar. It's supposed to make everything on the site gray except for the search bar. Is that not the case for you? Is the search b…

    You don't have to share your actual last name. Pseudonyms are fine. I didn't think about the case where someone doesn't have a last name. I might need to do something about that.

    That's a good idea. I was planning on sending this out to r/learnprogramming on Monday. I'll have to make sure this makes it to r/cscareerquestions as well

    I think this is a good idea. I've thought about doing something like this for books as well. I haven't yet thought about doing this for programming languages or frameworks, but may…

    I like that copy as well. Having class sizes is a great idea. I'll have to look into adding that.

    That might be true. I think it might be bordering out of scope for the "Find Study Buddies" feature, but I've thought about potentially adding a Q&A feature to the site in the futu…

    Our algorithm starts working as soon as you enable the "Find Study Buddies" feature. Also, it starts working anytime you add a new course. At the moment, it takes about 10 seconds …

    Are they on Coursera or edX? Or are they on they're own platform? --- Ahh! Looks like are hosted own their own sites. I will take a look at adding these. If you want, you can email…

    Haha that's cool. I had a friend help design my landing page. He mentioned that he used a generic graphic to make that bookshelf. It's cool to see it elsewhere in the wild

    That helps a lot. This is something that I haven't been keeping in mind. Great suggestions for what to do with the landing page and also some of the best advice for framing how I s…

    This is something I can add. Our catalog currently consists of all courses from Coursera, edX, Udacity, Udemy, and The Great Courses! Maybe I should also fix that wording as well.
