  • Useful, well-designed resource

    From 4 comments
    • Really nice work. I will add to my favs to see how it grows. I am working in a voting system similar to this, but about books. The way that you handle the "language" on the right…

    • Awesome stuff, blows my 'learning to code' tumblr out of the water. I'll definitely use in the future. Any background on how you put this together? I've got a vertical I think…

Objections

  • Site errors and browser compatibility issues

    From 3 comments
    • Congrats on launching something cool. I think your server might have just gotten slashdotted, or something odd happened, as I'm getting an Application Error. If you need any help…

    • Getting a browser warning and am unable to use/view your product using firefox 12.0
      kayhi on HN
    • Hi thank you for the feedback. There is a small issue with Firefox MAC users we are working on fixing. It works on chrome and safari as of now. In a week or two that will be…

  • Login and comment form unclear

    From 2 comments
    • I clicked on the "0 comments" link, but all I get is the RailsCasts description in isolation, with no obvious way to submit a comment.

    • I, too, see no way to submit a comment when logged out. I think the interface is the problem here - when you are logged out, it should say "[Sign up] or [log in] to leave a…

  • Search results ranking poorly

    From 1 comment
    • Looks promising. However I selected C++ and the first result was railscast? 2nd results also rails. Seems like you are just pushing matched results to the top instead of removing…

Requests

  • Add iOS and other language resources

    From 2 comments
    • These seems to be really ruby and python centric. Is there anybody who knows any good ones for IOS development?

    • I see you have Scheme, you have Clojure but no Common Lisp?!

  • Editable link descriptions

    From 2 comments
    • Many of the descriptions aren't nearly as good as they could be. I think if they were made to be editable like wiki pages they would be much better. I have another idea: what if…
      benatkin on HN
    • Yeah, making the comment form available would be a good idea. And I didn't mean that people should use them as feedback to me, but to the author of the link description. Need to…

  • Add downvotes

    From 1 comment
    • Why not have downvotes too? If you ask me, upvotes-only (as here on HN) works great if post get hidden when x time goes by. But AFAIK links "value" will not devalue over time on…

Questions

  • Where is the comment feature and how to log in

    From 2 comments
    • I clicked on the "0 comments" link, but all I get is the RailsCasts description in isolation, with no obvious way to submit a comment.

    • Hmmmm...are you logged in?
