#2Wow, this is far much better for code than standard videos.
Is it recorded using the scrimba.com website ? Is it only for web code ? The about page https://scrimba.com/about does not explain much.

#3Super cool. One issue...
I was watching the flexbox video and modified the CSS code but the view layout didn't update. I clicked the save button thinking that would update the view, but then it had me sign up. After signing up, I ended up with a fork of the video. Cool, but not what I wanted.
All I really wanted to do was fool around with the code while I had it paused, see the updates in the layout, and click play again - at which point I would have expected the code to revert to the script.

#4This is really awesome! I was wondering about how you are planning to monetize or sustain the project.
Are you going to give the ability for users to monetize their own contributions?

Yes, that's on our bucket list!

Yes. This. ^

#7This is a wonderful idea and execution.
Tip for people trying this out, to experience it fully you have to:
- login with github - edit some text - then hit play again. The preview will then update.
- also, you can record your own edits to the video.
I am surprised by the quality and thoughtful demos.
Some simple things would make it better, like updating automatically without hitting play. Also, I think the videos should have x buttons to close them, not just clicking in another area.

Ditto. Also was prohibitive to seeing the one "ah ha" moment for users. Would have been nice to experience it before signing up.
