Love scrimba. One of my all-time favorite ways to learn programming.
Will check out the new course. Keep up the great work!

#72So can I just sign up and get started using it on my blog, or how does this work?
Yes, you can! I'll record a video on how to do that with the new IDE, as it's indeed a bit unclear.

#73Really cool! You might have issues with some encoding somewhere though... https://imgur.com/a/WvFICiD

#74This looks fantastic! I’ve been seeing a growing number of tools trying to bring more interactivity to programming tutorials and for good reason. Screencasts are too passive, and it’s easy to get lost halfway through. Books and blogs don’t really show how code evolves over time either. I’m working on a solution too, called CodeMic [1] where instead of bringing the environment to the web, it brings video and workspace…
Interactivity and liveness in programming deserves to be discussed far more often than it is on front-page of hacker news, but excited there are multiple ongoing threads! I'm a very strong supporter of interactive blogposts as well. Obviously https://ciechanow.ski/ is leader here - being able to mess with something to build intuition is huge.
you should check what Bret Victor https://worrydream.com/ is doing at Dynamicland

#75I logged in but I am not sure how to add video to a "Scrim". I'd love to create some Nix ( https://nixos.org/ ) content. Is this possible?
that would be really nice!

#76There was this beautiful website that did something similar: it would type in the code and showing the result on the side. It was mostly creative JS code.
Are you thinking of Processing / P5js ?

I'm a huge fan of Bret Victor and very familiar with his incredible work.
The links are great (people should check them out!)
Anyone who hasn't watched his famous talk from 2012 should watch it "Inventing on Principle" https://youtube.com/watch?v=PUv66718DII

Agreed. ciechanow.ski has been a huge inspiration, as well as 3blue1brown, Bret Victor, and Chris Granger (remember Light Table?). But none of them provide a way to walk through thousands of lines of real code and show how it is built and evolves over time. That is the key problem Scrimba and CodeMic are trying to solve.
The two people I have seen who really master this are Robert Nystrom (Crafting Interpreters) and Casey Muratori (Handmade Hero). But even they are limited by the mediums they use: books and videos, which are not ideal for this kind of guided exploration.

Wait a minute. It's going to be possible to create my own curses with some kind of monetization attached? And not only frontend in future? Would be amazing.
