If the Treehouse folks are reading this, can they please add closed captions/subtitles to their videos? Lynda.com has captions and it has made the difference for me.

#72Earlier quoted context omitted.
We added the About page on the top nav (last second) but it broke the responsive layout. It's now at the bottom and we'll put it back up top when we can.
Aha, thanks for pointing this out–I was curious if there was such a thing too. On the about page ( http://teamtreehouse.com/about ), why are the boxes so big for each person? I see picture, name, title, Twitter handle, and then a fair amount of whitespace that makes me think there'd be a short bio for each person.
Display bug that's on the (long) list :)

#73Any chance of launching an Android Development course? Treehouse seems to be exactly what I was looking for, but the topic that I am really interested in at this moment is not there. Congrats for the product, the site is amazing and I enjoyed the free videos a lot.
It's in the pipeline. Thanks for the kind words :)

#74Is there an estimate as to when the iOS development videos will be expanded to include iOS 5?

We have captions on all our videos actually. Can you see the 'cc' button on the video player (on the site)?

#76Given that APIs, especially for iOS and Android, are evolving so quickly that your videos are already out of date, what is your plan for shooting new videos when content changes? Won't it be difficult to maintain the same professional editing and keep up with the changes for the given platform?
For example, the big players in iOS education (Big Nerd Ranch, Pragmatic) have been teaching iOS 5 since it was in beta; but you guys are on iOS 4.

#77Feedback: 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…
I totally agree with your point. However, unlike you, I didn't click on anything because (a) my time is valuable and I can't waste it on a site which may not provide value to me and (b) I don't trust web sites which don't explicitly tell me what they do or have an obvious "About" link on the home page. Please add a sentence or two at the top of the page to tell me your target audience and why I should use the site.
+1 I was also confused in the same way. The homepage is good at getting you started using the stuff quickly, but I wanted an overview of exactly what it was first

#78One thing I forgot to mention: Wordpress/Automattic, Living Social, and BankSimple are going to be interviewing Treehouse members who are looking for work and have unlocked certain badges. We'll contact Members who qualify.
This is a brilliant marketing campaign for Treehouse -- "come use us and we'll get you a great job!"
+50 on this launch guys.

#79Dislaimer: I'm not the target audience. Looks good. $25/mo seems too much. Can't take any sample tests without paying $25.
We're hoping to make a couple Code Challenges and Quizzes public soon. Couldn't finish it for launch.
I would also love to take a sample test (or a 1 day free trial or something) so I can get an idea if it's righ for me before paying 25US$.
Looks awesome though!

#80This is a repackaging of the thinkvitamin website from Carsonified. These are literally the same videos I already downloaded from ThinkVitamin. Same talking heads, same, same...
