We now have a free tier, so you should be able to try it out :-)

Do you provide educational licenses/pricing? It looks really interesting but I can't afford it as a student.

It’s free, but isn’t it one lesson per day?

Correct. For many of our users, doing one stage per day is just the right amount of exercise (especially on the later stages — as it gets more challenging)

Not to by hyper critical but that is just not enough to support learning for more ambitious people. There are too many great learning communities that are way cheaper. I really hope you guys revise the pricing structure. At a $20mo price point, I know a ton of people that would buy it. At the current price point, well, it’s just people with a learning stipend at big corp that don’t like to buy books.

Great idea, but only accessible to the rich.

I think this is a bit much. I wouldn't buy it, but I think this is deep technical content that you might not stick on forever, and they need to pick a price for it. If it's too high or low they'll find out soon. No need for any other inputs than that.

Please consider similar pricing structure as JetBrains. If you pay for it, the price is X, but if your company pays for it, or you're somehow reimbursed for it, the price is 5X.
