Re:Livecoding.tv (YC S15) Is Twitch.tv for Coding by Jugurtha on Tuesday June 30, 2015 @01:03AM (#9803046)
Hey,

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.
