Please add subtitles to the videos. I don't always watch with sound and would like to be able to read as I go along.
Hi Chris. Great news! We already have Captions. If you see any videos that don't have them, could you please email us and we'll take care of it: help@teamtreehouse.com Gracias
The Introduction to Development video does not currently have them and I haven't really poked around at other videos.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's exactly the first question that came to my mind. When I don't see a "plans and pricing" link, I always start wondering where's the catch.
https://teamtreehouse.com/subscribe/plans When you click the "Sign Up" link it takes you there. Either $25/month or $40/month. The cheapest you can get away with is $300/year.
This 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...

RYAN CARSON this is lame in that its an expensive version of http://www.codecademy.com Also you are using the same videos from ThinkVitamin which provide good introductory knowledge and that's it. Codeacademy makes you actually code and had badges long before you guys.
"LARRY PAGE this is lame in that it's a crummy featureless version of http://www.yahoo.com
You are using the same internet to search on.
Yahoo makes you actually log into a nice portal and had search capability long before you guys."
Just because there's a competing product in the marketplace doesn't devalue what Ryan's doing here.
In fact, I think Treehouse is already outstripping Codeacademy on breath of education and video quality.
Site looks amazing...however the fonts on Windows are hard to read and are jagged, especially in the testimonials section. I'm sure they look great on my MacBook but don't forget the Windows crowd when designing (Test case: Vista with Chrome and FF). Good luck with the venture. I am a firm believer that online education in software development is going to be big in the coming years. Get recruiters to start using your…
I have a strange behaviour: I cant see the videos on Chromium/Linux Mint 11 while they work in Firefox/Linux Mint 11 on the same laptop, but they were ok on my Chrome/XP office computer. Any idea?
Also, when I select PayPal as a payment method, you should hide the credit card fields. It's confusing to click the button when I have a required field showing that doesn't need to be filled out.
Consider adding a feature to view the videos at higher playback speeds. Even someone who is only comfortable at 1.1x (not hard) could save hours of their time if they like your site. (I watch TV at 2x generally, huge time saver.)
Feedback: 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 just made my day. We worked hard on the on-boarding UX.
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 the script in a more natural way.
Feedback: The "Treehouse Profile URL" field on the sign up page is very unclear. I assumed you wanted a URL of my site to put in my profile, when it looks like you want a username to put in the url to my profile. Also, when I select PayPal as a payment method, you should hide the credit card fields. It's confusing to click the button when I have a required field showing that doesn't need to be filled out.
