> Gophercises is free, but you need to provide a working email address to gain access. I won't spam you and unsubscribing is very easy.
Er, why? It's just a bunch of exercises and lessons, right? Gating it behind a sign up seems completely artificial, and something that would only be worth doing if you wanted to spam people or sell their data.
This is a free “course” in the author’s platform. He has paid courses that he occasionally sends emails about when he has promotions. I’m quite stringent about what I unsubscribe to and his emails have not come even close to that threshold.
Imo the challenges are well thought out as are the solutions. I feel giving my e-mail up is a good exchange of value. I’ll probably end up buying one of his courses eventually.
how do u measure users without sign up? if i want somebody to invest in my website i need to say "i have x amount of users", which i can run a sql or whatever db i have command to see. a fake email takes 2-3 minutes to make.
