Just signed up. I really love this idea. Keep up the great work! UX is very good. Feels like Duolingo for programming languages.

#42Installed on Android 7. Sorta kinda worked once. Crashed. Cannot restart after force stop.
I'm literally typing fixes right now. We'll get this out ASAP.

#43Earlier quoted context omitted.
Currently, all of our courses are actually free! We will be releasing a new version of Py on iOS within the next day or two that will contain a premium subscription that unlocks access to new premium content we're rolling out.
Sooo....sounds like you're about to become a school that takes money? Are you worried about regulation now?
@thebiglebrewski -- do you have a link or reference to the regulations of concern? I did a quick web search and did not find anything relevant.

#44Reminded me of SoloLearn, a similar app.
Can't really comment in the Android app as it crashes a couple of minutes into the app.
I'm doing a course at Udacity and they recommend SoloLearn to brush up on basics, including python and HTML etc etc. Partnering with institutions seems to be a good idea.

#45Fantastic app. Really nicely designed. Question on the personalized learning: what factors go into determining when and what content to show me to optimize my learning?

#46Great app! I like where it is going!

Not for me, not even on the first page; Py Music, PyPy, Python all come before it.
FWIW For me first page has only sites from Paraguay (.py TLD). Second page start with their App Store, then their Techcrunch article and then Play Store. Nothing about Python before their app though.
Google knows me too well. The search rankings differ per user.

#48I've done a few of your lessons and I feel they only scratch the surface.
The format works well for learning high-level concepts, but anyone planning to "go from 0 to coder" with this app is fooling themselves.

#49"See all courses" is blank (iOS)

#50Hey, are you worried about being regulated as a school at all in the state you're operating in?
What regulations are you talking about? You can teach anyone anything (legal) you want and get paid for it, and you don't need anyone's permission.
What horror show of a country do you live in that someone would get in trouble for being a tutor?
