Hi HN!

I'm a designer who's been learning to code for a while now (far longer than I'd love to admit) and one of my biggest issues was trying to find something to code.

I would usually design something and then code it, but that took too much time. So I made Codewell! Let me know your thoughts on this project and why you think this could or couldn't be helpful for beginners!

On the subscription page in the description of the plans when you say "Access to source files" I feel it would make sense to say "Access to Figma source files" instead, otherwise people might get a wrong idea.

Do you mean that people could mistake source files with the assets inside?

Without your clarification, I and other might mentally parse "Access to source files" => "Access to source [code] files".

Agreed.

When I searched for an answer to "What do I get with a subscription?"

It was "oh source code files."

Hey man; really love the project. I’ve frequently wanted something like this. Will probably look at this when mentoring fresh frontend devs. Great work!

Congrats on shipping!

Also, I really like the fact that you've thought of this as a SAAS service. Must have been quite a bit of work.

All the best.

Thanks, really appreciate it!

Codewell's definitely growing, we have over 600+ registered users, some really supportive paying members, 60+ users on our Slack channel, and people are already posting some really good solutions on Codewell.

I would say yes! We're really looking forward to reaching more developers and helping them in their journey.
