I'm a big fan of Ryan Carson. The sites really cool. The fonts in the intro videos bother me though. Museo in particular looks really ugly for whatever reason.

You just made my day. We worked hard on the on-boarding UX.
The UX is great, I agree, but I can't stand how you put emphasis on every other word in the web design intro video. It reminded me of an Ira Glass segment where he talked about his early radio career (See http://transom.org/?p=6978 and scroll down to "1. Learning Curve"). He also made this mistake, to the detriment of the story. Please fix this when you have time. Maybe consider hiring a professional actor to read th…
Definitely agreed, and really great example. It sounds like he is speaking to a 3 year old, which is super annoying and a big turnoff. Just speak normally, and people will have a much easier time handling it

Also agree with this - I really do not like museo with text shadow on the web

#134Hey Ryan, great website. I would really like to try your product but its completely out of my price range (I'm a student). I was wondering if there was any chance I could provide you something in exchange for a discounted rate. Say, testing, feedback, or anything in that nature.

#135This is awesome. I'm a long time webOS fan but I'm no where skilled with web languages to develop for webOS but this will surely help me a lot.
I just got an iPhone due to lack of webOS devices and my inner geek wants to learn how iOS development works and this made my day to find iOS learning videos!
Thanks for the amazing website!!

Thanks! You don't have to be in Silicon Valley :)
Ryan, I've followed you for a while on Think Vitamin and some of the DocType guys (Nick and Jim) and I never imagined you were in Orlando too! Makes me very proud! Congrats. -Vlad
If you're in Orlando, stop by the office. Just tweet at someone here so we can expect you.

#137Feedback: Have no idea what Treehouse is, clicked the site, took 300ms to look at the 3 giant buttons. Clicked "web design" (the site looks very nice BTW) ... and started learning about web design. Watched the first video, hit the only button "Let's Go" and found a collection of other videos to get me further down the path of web design, letting me skip directly to my problems areas instead of grinding through things…

You guys can market the web development videos for webOS devs also since webOS uses web languages for development.

#138Looks like you use the video tag, but only support MP4, not WebM. You also don't have any fallback indicating the problem, just a big black region where a video should appear. And, attempting to dig out the URL for the MP4 video and access it directly produces an "access denied".

#139Amazing website. I will definitely subscribe as soon as you upgrade to iOS5. Keep up the good work, and shift to iOS5 soon.

I have sent an email.
Awesome Job!
