Awesome. But only JS is supported ?

Right now, only js is supported out of the box, but I guess any language that can run via web assembly or other techniques could work. WebContainers has experimental python support, but it won't work with a lot of the dependencies you would usually utilize in python etc.

we should be able to use this as a vscode extension to solve this issue. is there an sdk to integrate this into electron apps?

CodeSchool used to be interactive until PluralSight bought them out, then pulled in all the videos, but kept none of the interactivity. Shame.

There's also the Processing tutorial series which is insanely interactive:

https://hello.processing.org/

Sharing these in the hopes they server as inspiration for anyone who works on educational programming content.

This looks to be the perfect usecase to throw an agent into the loop (sorry for saying so).

yep, this is not for humans, agents with dia-1.6B or anything similar, they will outclass humans at this, really quick. i'd like to work on a poc if you are interested, i train and deploy models for a living.

What do you mean it's not for humans, and that agents will outclass humans at this? Humans like to learn new things, and this seems like a novel format for learning. I don't think an AI is ever going to "outclass" our curiosity or desire to learn.

Imba is probably one of the best kept web development secrets! Sindre has done a remarkable job of making an insanely terse while powerfull language for building web applications. Not that it's limited to web applications only, the syntax translates perfectly for any other area as well. The fact that a platform like Scrimba was built using this language and probably only a handfull developers should make you want to…

oh, i meant humans as teachers. if i had to choose between a human teaching me quantum physics equations or a collection of richard feynman’s lessons turned into agentic lessons, i’d pick the agent. i mean, we can compile the whole collection of lessons in agentic form way faster than any human could deliver the same number of lessons.

the product is exclusively for humans. the teacher, i'm not so sure.

I'm trying to find more information about creating videos/courses with Scrimba, but most of the info on your website is geared toward consuming content. I see that it's possible to create a new course, but is it possible to create one that's private/limited access? My usecase is recording a course with a tool like this and selling it as the video part of premium course materials for my clients.

We are finalizing an electron app as we speak. That will allow recording anything that runs on your own system
