It's really interesting. A couple of remarks:
1 - I don't know if you are aware, but there seems to be a bug for lack of a better word.
How to reproduce it:
- Get on the site (not logged in).
- I'm interested in Python for now, so I scroll down to the bottom and click Python in the "Languages" list.
- ISSUE: This doesn't take me to anything Python related, it only takes me to: https://www.livecoding.tv/livestreams/.
- So then I have to click on "Category>Python".
- ISSUE: It still doesn't take me to anythong Python related, it only takes me to: https://www.livecoding.tv/videos/
- So then I have to click on "Category>Python" again, and finally this takes me to: https://www.livecoding.tv/videos/python/
Maybe I'm not really tech savvy, but I think it's too many clicks.
2 - When I'm about to sign in with a GitHub account, it says "Livecodingtv by @MrTomato8 would like permission to access your account". Now, I know it's a serious YC funded company and all, but giving information to Livecodingtv would be easier if it weren't a MrTomato8 asking.
Furthermore, when I click on the GitHub profile, it takes me to MrTomato8 with only one contribution in the last year. This doesn't sell very well for an entity having a channel about coding. I assume the GitHub profile doesn't necessarily reflect on MrTomato8's real skills, but it just doesn't look right for that profile to be asking me, a beginner who wants to stand on the shoulders of giants, for information.
Keep it up and I look forward to signing up in the near future.
Glad to see you guys have realized it's a bad idea though.
I attempted to load the archive of the linked Stephen Wolfram video and hit this: http://i.imgur.com/m1TEJHS.png
Seriously?
According to the sign-up blurb on the right of the window, forced-signing-in-to-watch-videos is the intended behavior, which puts a lot of doubt on the startup sign-up metrics provided. I will never use this service.
