That's actually... interesting. I haven't thought about it this way. I guess you mean people want it to be part their portfolio, which actually makes a lot of sense. I don't have the best answer yet, but I guess one thing is that, we could host the source code on our site and have some sort of portfolio page here.

Yeah, the main reason I would pay for this would be to put the project in my portfolio. I have my own portfolio page though; I wouldn’t be interested in hosting it on a third-party site. Even if it was just something I would link to from my site, I would be concerned that potential employers would see it was “just a tutorial” and write me off as not having the experience in question. That said I don’t often get asked for source code during interviews these days, so probably the ability to host the minified code for a demo would be enough.

The first part makes perfect sense.

I'm a little bit confused about this piece. Are you suggesting we host the minified code on our site + the demo? Because in the first part, I thought you wouldn't want that because employer should see this as a tutorial thing if they see anything on a third party website other than your own website?
