Felix21 | 10 years ago | on: Why London Underground stopped people walking up the escalators

It's still faster for the person running up the escalator but for that luxury, we are sacrificing half the capacity of the escalator.

Having another row of people on the left means the overall capacity increases and everyone moves faster but I always walk up the stairs and this won't benefit me one bit. Everyone else wins.

Standing when I'm in a rush can never be faster than walking up the escalator.

I'm already working on quizzes. I still need to refactor the current code base though so that feature is at least two weeks out.

The multi course feature is already working as well and once I clean the code up, I'll update the code base on GitHub.

Do you have any other type of assessment in mind?

Hi Ankur,

I very much didn't intend to offend you, copy you or cause you to be upset.

That homepage design is based on what Udemy looked like before their update and that's why I felt okay to use it as a starting point.

That said, I'll update the homepage for the course today with a new design as a gesture of good faith.

I think the platform itself, not the homepage/sales page is what the people using coursify like. I suspect many of them won't even use that homepage. It's just a starting point.

Again I'm trying to make friends not enemies. Hope I didn't offend you.

Felix

Happy Easter.

Thanks for your feedback.

We used Moodle at my last University (UON) (transitioned from blackboard) but this is a very lightweight product for a very different purpose (Online courses).

Granted It didn't take too long to build (about 13 weeks in my spare time) but It's actually a lot more work than you might think.

The challenge is not in the "coding" but getting the user experience right.

Beginners cant install this. Someone has to do it for them :).

I launched at 8AM (without sleeping all night) and I forgot to make the Git-Repo public (oops).

Its public now and the link now works thank you.

BTW, the actual download link on my website takes you to Dropbox and that link works.
