Thanks for the reply. I had not (yet) posted on the forum as I was methodically searching through the previous replies to ensure my question had not already been answered. Thanks for crestle recommendation. I will now look into it. This should simplify my tool setup. If I still have questions around tool setup after posting, then I will at-mention you. I think the mini-MOOC (for people like me) is a great idea. I get…

Yes it'll be online a couple of months after completion, or you can apply to join remotely as an international fellow.

Excellent. Thank you.

(I built Crestle.) The downside is you don't get as much control over your environment (you get a terminal in the browser, but no SSH or sudo access, for example). If you have the inclination and ability to manage your own instances, EC2 is more flexible.

This looks great, can you give any idea of what your invite request queue looks like/how long I might be waiting?

You'll get an invite as soon as you sign up.

Just wondering: what kind of infrastructure are you running on? If I were to build something like this I'd probably run it atop of EC2 or GCE, so pricing would never be lower than them.

It's running on EC2 and uses spot pricing which is much lower than $0.90/hour.

Ok then cards or whatever annotations have been replaced by, but something! https://creatoracademy.youtube.com/page/lesson/cards

I had high hopes for them, but it turns out it just puts a tiny 'i' icon in the corner of the screen, with no way (AFAICT) to draw attention to it. When we redo part 1 in October, we'll try to find a way to incorporate a clear link to an errata page or FAQ in each video, so that anyone with issues has one place to go.

Is this a volunteer effort on your part? I don't mean to be unnecessarily harsh in that case, but otherwise:

I'm not sure I can any more strongly say that you need to get this URL into these videos using whatever tools you can, whatever tools the platform provides. If someone misses it because of the ineffectiveness of the platform, you still get credit for trying!

I assume it should also be the very first thing in the video description at this point. You are losing many more people who would never take the time to share this issue with you due to stale content! (There's a reason it's half-way to the top on your announcement of part 2...)
