Maybe this is an opportunity to create a new kind of Show/Ask HN, called “Who’s got questions?” For example. I’m a self-described senior electron/react/iOS app dev and I have created exactly one API in my life using node/express/GraphQL/mongo/redis on heroku. It works great! I had a ton of fun learning and deploying and now maintaining. Now... I want to add some features such as long-running (30s-10m) batch jobs. How…

Nice idea. Hopefully gain a traction.

Lol, didn't expected to be on HN. Thanks @didizaja

Could you show an error message on the site in case Javascript (or just 3rd party JS) is disabled? Without JS the page gives no indication anything is missing, it just looks like a beautiful page with only an "Add a project" button: https://i.imgur.com/SReAOYG.png

Does anyone know of a similar website that aggregates youtube courses or any free course for that matter?

I detected videos of Siraj Raval to learn deep learning. That make me doubt of the teaching quality of the site.

Can you elaborate? (I have no idea who he is)

He plagiarized a lot of stuff, and eventually confessed about a year ago. It was a lot of flash/pizazz, with not as much substance as you really needed to learn something.

I haven't checked in on him since... maybe he's doing better at teaching now?

One thing I do enjoy on reddit is the communities that run 'weekly stupid questions´-threads.
