Show HN: TryCode.io: A Simple, Interactive Coding Tutorial for Beginners
trycode.ioIt's interesting how you've abstracted it out and not tied to a particular language and so it seems like the target audience is people who've never coded before. Few quick suggestions:
1. The design/fonts should adapt to the audience 2. Screen is a little too busy for a newbie 3. What's the end goal or # of lessons?
Thanks for the feedback. I agree with your suggestions.
It is meant for people who've never coded before, with the end goal of introducing programming concepts in a friendly, easy-to-understand manner. My hope is that it encourages people to explore the computer sciences in education or as a career choice.
I do plan to add more lessons that touch on other programming concepts - lists, recursion, etc... and I would also like to make the site multilingual.
