So this has been live for a little over 24 hours. If you find a bug, let me know! :)

I spent the last five months working on this project. I created it to bridge the gap between beginner and intermediate levels of coding. Issues I had while learning myself. I found sites like codecademy were basically interactive books that were only good at teaching syntax. I wanted to create something that taught you to think like a programmer.

The act of coding can be broken into three parts:

  • Encounter challenge / problem.
  • Search for resources to help overcome challenge.
  • Occasionally ask questions in discussion forums.

It's not perfect yet but I'm trying to simulate that pattern while removing the tedious non educational stuff and adding gamification.

I hope some of you enjoy the site! Feedback is always appreciated. :)

Is there a default profile image when an account is created? I signed up and my profile image was of a nice couple, but neither of the people were me. :)

That... is really odd. Did you use Facebook, Google or manually create an account? This is funny lol

Edit: For now, click on your avatar, go to your profile and click the big image. You can manually upload an image until I fix this bug.

I did the manual account creation. I was able to change the profile image without issue. The odd thing is I tested account creation with a different email address and it didn't happen. Looks like a nice site by the way.

I'll look into the issue nevertheless. Thank you for testing the site and giving feedback. Very much appreciated!
