I finished the course a few days ago and it was awesome. Of course it is not a fully functional complete clone, but it is an incredible learning resource.

It really starts from the beginning as in "first you have to install the proper tools and prepare your software development environment" beginning. Which is great to teach you things that you wouldnt learn in other free online courses.

I think it is a essential resource that present you the full stack of a web app, acting as the perfect complement to more pure code oriented courses like freecodecamp and codecademy.

And you can really start from zero coding knowledge. I fully recommend it.

Merda. Ho progettato twitter anni prima della sua realizzazione e il mio 'boss' disse che non era una buona idea perché avrebbe avvisato i ladri che non ero in casa in quel momento. Edit: e progettai il wikidizionario, però mi dissero che tutti potevano permettersi un dizionario al giorno d'oggi...

That 1.5MB of image on the landing page should be shrunk drastically—you could trivially shave a megabyte off it, or even more.

You're right. I built the page with leadpages so I figured they would do that for me. I'll have to shrink it down manually.
