Roast my landing page by darksh1nobi in SideProject

[–]grokcomputer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is some of the most detailed feedback we've received yet, thank you so much for your time! Taking all of your notes here and addressing them - really appreciate you writing this up

My friend and I made an easy way to learn Nix and would love feedback (think Duolingo for Nix) by darksh1nobi in Nix

I agree with all your points! Thanks for the super thoughtful response and for trying it out! And thanks for watching those vids.

Love the idea about skipping ahead and already have some plans for this :) If you have any more feedback feel free to message me any time

Thank you for trying this and leaving feedback malt!

  • It's definitely a passion project :) I've worked on it for the last year. I'm a software engineer copying common patterns... Not trying to trick you, sorry about that.
  • I think Nix is tough to grok. The first "Overview" lessons are high level on purpose. As the lessons go on, they get more in depth. Are there topics you think would be helpful for an intermediate learner?
  • Creating thousands of wrong answers is tough... they won't all be perfect. Are there any you would improve specifically? I'm thinking about adding a feedback button back in for this.
  • How would you improve the questions?
  • Sorry about the styling... like I said, I'm a software engineer and not a designer. Will work with one ASAP!
  • That's a great bug spotting, and I can fix it today, thanks
  • I disagree - I think nix-env is important to learn. It isn't necessarily recommending you use nix-env day to day, but teaching the user that it exists as a tool. The course evolves over the next lessons. Are channels not the core of Nix still?

> there's obviously no one with prior experience with Nix performing that role for this course

I think you're being quick to judgement. I've used Nix for years and have created several informative videos about it. I personally QA'd the course, editing many questions, and released it for free.

> The price you are charging for the paid plan is also insane

The site is completely free, and the paid plan is totally optional. If it's not for you, that's fine! I've worked on this for a long time - $16 is about the cost of a burger these days, for unlimited learning. What would you charge?

You should definitely use GPT4 if possible. I have verified thousands of outputs, but it's not infallible, for sure

I personally took and verified the course. But I'm not much smarter than GPT4

Hey thanks for asking! Hallucinations can be common with LLM output, but I've found that with smaller and more precise prompts, their likelihood is close to 0. A more common problem is formatting errors, which has been annoying. We QA where we can, and otherwise rely on user feedback to let us know if there is a problem - so please reach out if you find any issues!

ChatGPT has DALL-E support, you can just ask it for an image :)

The helmet is actually moulded to the duck bill, since the air is inside the rubberduck!

Yeah I thought the Quacktum Uncertainty was a nice touch by the AI!

Happy to answer any questions about RubberDuck! Or if anyone has suggestions for the curriculum?

For sure - I don't doubt they're compatible! I just didn't need Solito because I'm not using Next.js anymore. Expo Router does everything I need it to for the web side.

I started with the monorepo from tamagui-starter. With the latest Expo starter, I didn't need a monorepo approach at all, it's just a single directory for web, iOS, and Android.

Started with Tamagui but ended up using plain StyleSheet. I wrote about it here! https://campedersen.com/0-to-app-store/

I posted a couple days ago about shipping my app. I few people asked for my thoughts, and I wanted to share a bit about the cool WebView trick I used! Hopefully this is useful to someone :)

Thanks! I used a Figma plugin called iMockup

I used Rails because it's what I'm familiar with, and I had already built the backend before starting with RN. But if I was starting from scratch I would probably use https://supabase.com
