Toucan teaches you new skills while you browse the web

I can imagine a lot of ways how this might work, but the website does not explain much. Maybe it should have a short screencast as an example. Or at least screenshots.

I also assume this collects a lot of data on the user? How is that handled?

I get a mostly-empty page[0] on Win 10 with Firefox 76 and cookies blocked from cdnjs.cloudlfare and js.stripe.

Same, I thought it couldn't be just me. If you open the inspector you'll see in the Console tab a lot of "Loading failed for the with source ..." messages. If you follow the links you'll see that they return 404.

Edit: on Chrome and derived browsers all scripts load correctly except the signIn.js script.

When I navigate to that page on my iOS device, all I see is a green upper bar with a hamburger menu. Clicking on the menu offers "log in" and "add toucan"

I clicked back.

Yes, a screencast would be nice, but more than that, there's no Privacy Policy?

Edit: there is, but they don't link to it on the homepage

Yeah, there's something on the site that's being blocked by my ublock. Turning it off revived the page for me.

Update: it's not ublock. Tried refreshing a few times with ublock enabled and it works. I think it was just an unstable cdn somewhere

Maybe, but I'm getting random 404s on the js urls themselves without any blocking.
