The way we learn to code is changing, and it’s time our courses caught up. We need a model that replaces long, passive lectures with interactive, high-retention experiences that respect your time. That’s why @dennisivy11, @arielweinberger, and I have been working behind the scenes. We are building a platform that turns learning to code into a fun, competitive experience. Our goal is to build the best interactive learning experience ever made. Here's what this means: - Courses authored by real human instructors with a proven track record. - Each learning journey is focused on helping you learn, without limiting your creativity. We'll share more about that very soon. - What you're building is real software. Our platform does not expect a single, correct answer. You learn the concept and build something of your own along the way. Actual portfolio projects. - Start.dev makes it possible to teach concepts that were simply not possible on any other interactive platform before. You'll be able to learn how to build your own backends (think Node.js, Hono, Express, Python), frontends (React, Vue, Angular), and full-stack apps (Next.js, Nuxt, Remix) and our platform is able to accommodate all of that. - There's always a reason to keep momentum going - we've integrated fun gamification aspects into the platform. You gain experience, level up, earn badges, earn real certificates, and build a public profile you can put on your GitHub and share with the world. - Each course features an AI assistant that is fine-tuned by our instructors. Not a generic LLM. You can ask for help if you need it, ask for a hint, have a concept explained to you in the instructor's unique style. The AI assistant can see everything on your screen. The app you're building, your open code editor, the challenge, any errors logs, etcetera. It's there when you need it, but it's not forced on you. We're super excited, and we hope you are too. We want to make you a part of this journey. We're going to constantly share videos, screenshots, and brainstorm with the community. P.S. Early registration is open.
