Thanks a lot for all the feedback, everyone! We're overwhelmed by all the positive comments. If you have any feature requests, please submit them as issues here: https://github.com/scrimba/community Also, a few people have asked us how to create content, so we're obviously not making it clear enough. To do that, simply create an account (with GitHub) and start screencasting in our browser editor. If you want to get i…

The console button isn't working for me on some of the codecasts. I'm using macOS Chrome Version 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit). Not sure if this is because I have set an unusual Content Security Policy for chrome. Here's what I see in my browser's console when watching

This 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?

Man this is good. Any plans to extend it to other languages?

Thanks. Yes, other (server-side) languages are definitely coming. We're currently working with a prototype that integrates with Jupyter/IPython, and we're also playing with the idea of using Docker images for giving a full terminal. The biggest challenge is to give a powerful execution environment and make it easy for the viewer to play with the code and be able to run it.

Do you have a blog where you would update this?

Y apply to YC. If ur serious about anything and ur a serious developer, u don't need money, connections, etc. Y dilute yourself, Y forever be beholden to investors. I know I don't want anyone telling me what to do regarding my baby. Programming apps is quicker than ever now. All you need is a ramen noodle revenue stream to keep you afloat while you build. I urge you to question why you really wanna go to YC. Is it to…

While you do make some good points, I think it unwise to speak with a negative sentiment about YC... on YC...

Also spelling.
