I would like to see this integrated with existing doc build tools like Sphinx. All of my documentation+examples for [various projects] are auto-built with [Sphinx / other tools].
If you can make it easy to add this as an extension, then I’m sold. If I have to link to / embed another website, I’m not interested.
Maybe we could sync up :)
I'm taking a similar approach, but teachers are also required to create tests for each step of the tutorial. That way, user's need to pass a test to get to the next step.

If there is a way to host this at the moment, please contact me if you want a test drive in a university context.
Putting on my technical writer hat and providing feedback from that perspective. First impressions: > Leaf is a platform built from the ground up, for coding tutorials In general I do think there could be a market for this. Lots of people want to create those kinds of side-by-side tutorials and they are hard to DIY. You would probably need to let customers brand the tutorial experience (host it on their own domain, e…
I think this is a very rude feedback and lazy on your part to use this on iphone when it is clearly not intended for mobile use. I think it is very clear what's in it for the site owners. > host it on their own domain You can embed it in full page in your site. Little hacky I know.
