Notes from building it

Short entries about decisions we’ve actually made. No dates — we’d only be inventing a schedule. The number goes up when something real happens.

entries: 5 so far
cadence: When there’s something to say
tone: Occasionally unflattering

#005Product
We deleted the video player
It worked. It was nice. It was also the reason lessons kept getting longer.
#004Engineering
The editor stopped being slow
Nobody notices a fast editor. Everybody notices a slow one.
#003Writing
Writing lesson one, eleven times
The first lesson is the whole product. Everything after it is easier.
#002Scope
Two languages, not eight
We listed everything we wanted to teach, then had an uncomfortable conversation.
#001Beginning
Why we started
Four unfinished courses, one shared complaint.

↳Older notes exist in a shared document and are mostly us disagreeing about lesson length. We’ve spared you those.

What we believe

Seven positions, and the things each one made us delete.

We’re building it.

One email, the day it opens. Nothing else, ever.
