The landing page does not explain anything. I am not going to sign up if I don't know anything about the website

Yeah this is bad marketing. People dont just register without an idea of what you have to offer them.

In my experience, most people will register. My theory is people are so used to filling in their details they'll do it automatically. What's important is what comes after the registration.

Spoiler alert: It's a Python guide/tutorial with instructions. Plus a code editor and terminal emulator.

I made an account and I looked at a couple of lessons. In those lessons, I saw a couple of Fortnite gif animations. I was just wondering, if they'd charge for this service, wouldn't that be copyright infringement?

If you're going to do a Show HN, you should show something. This is Harvest HN. I don't have any idea what "code school for Fortnite players" means, since to my knowledge, you don't program extensions like you do in Minecraft.

I have no idea what to expect from this.

I'm not going to make an account on something that will potentially send me spam without having any clue what I'm signing up for..

Fix your landing page so it explains what the website actually is for.
