According to data from FRED, US software development job listings are up 10% YoY from Feb 2025 to Feb 2026. In the same period, overall job postings are down 5.8%. I find this stri…

Hey HN, I'm Per from Scrimba (YC S20), the code-learning platform. There's been a lot of talk lately about whether AI tools are causing skill atrophy amongst developers. We get a f…

Here is a quick Loom on how to create a scrim: https://www.loom.com/share/1f034653a1ef4e99953cf3b9a5c367ff

Yes, you can! I'll record a video on how to do that with the new IDE, as it's indeed a bit unclear.

Technically, there are ways to do that, though it's not a core use-case for us, which is why we're not pushing it. An alternative way is to embed the scrims into your own platform,…

Just send me an email at per@scrimba.com :)

Once we have our desktop app ready (very soon), it'll be possible to record any language. However, the viewer then won't get the same ability to run the code, only to edit it. We d…

Yes, we'd be happy to collaborate on creating something on Joystick. It looks like an awesome framework!

We currently create the courses ourselves, but would love to see if there’s an opportunity for a collab here. Please send me an email at per@scrimba.com :)

If you make a change, then the screencast pauses and you create a branch of the codebase, so that you can experiment on your own. Once you hit "play" again, your changes are revert…

Would love to see tscircuit tutorials on Scrimba! It’s easy to record — just talk over the code. I demo it in this scrim from around 1:40. https://scrimba.com/s0kmcarts1 The previe…

Very glad to hear that! Yes, we’re working on a desktop app (currently in alpha) that lets you record Scrimba screencasts of local codebases. It’ll be perfect for onboarding, and s…

CodeMic looks very cool, well done! A lot of people have asked us over the years whether we they can implement Scrimba into their preferred IDE, so it makes total sense to take tha…

Good question! Expanding from client-side JS to Node.js is our first step in that direction. We considered server-side execution for all languages but chose WebContainers instead, …

Thanks! Not sure I fully understand — do you mean using our DOM recorder on other web apps instead of our IDE? In theory, yes, we’ve used it on third-party sites in previous iterat…

Thank you so much! That kind of word-of-mouth is the reason we’ve been able to grow without raising a ton of money .

Awesome to hear that you're using Imba! It's my co-founder Sindre who has created it, not me. But please share whatever you're building with us (e.g. via Twitter or Discord), as we…

Charge for our product. I'm the founder of Scrimba.com, an interactive code-learning platform. We went almost two years from when we launched our very first free course until we la…

If so, then it would actually be legally and morally ok for the artist to do a «double sell» as I describe in my original comment. It would be like i.e. selling a signed copy of a …

The NFTs are meant to prove ownership over digital items, aren’t they? Not ownership as in «I am the only one who can share this GIF in Facebook», but as in «I own the copyright to…

Yes, indeed. My question is if the NFT will be treated as a valid proof of ownership in a legal battle. I’m guessing it would hold some validity, but lose against a well-written sa…
