Show HN: I built a web app for learning Vim from the browser as a 17-year-old
21–30 of 53 posts
As a long time vim user I wonder whats in it for me, so more detail on the 12 available lessons would help.
And the promise "to become a 10x developer in no time." is, in my opinion, a bit over the top.
I wish mastering a text editor would result in being a "10x dev" :D
Only left to say, congrats for launching vimninja.com!

#23I don't get those interactive learn vi(m) projects. Why not simply use vimtutor?
Am I missing something with vim tutor? It's just a very short whistle-stop tour of vim right?
Nothing that actually helps you use it in any real context!
I had to use a proper training tool (vim adventures) before I got enough practice for things to click. And I had to discover a handful of plugins before it was at all usable in a work environment (acejump, code aware motions, IDE integration).
Vimtutor is like a jira tutorial. Yes, you're telling me what I can do with you, but what I need to know is how to use you.

#27The sign in with Google is unnecessary, after all, you haven't bought the product yet.

#29I would be more willing to "Sign in with Google" if OP provided any kind of gentle nudge or onboarding a la https://www.keybr.com/. It's too blatant and in-your-face as it is.

Charge for offering a service. How dare that guy.
