Thanks! Really have to hand it to our engineers on this one. Lots of challenges to keep the entire stack simple and scalable. And yep, if you're looking to talk to some people about the Swift lessons learned, this is the crew to talk to.

I think it depends on your objective. Do you want to learn something on your own time, in the order you choose, with the media types you want? That is more of what we're going for with https://curiosity.com vs a directed approach. More choice and less structure and force. But then again, some people need and want that depending on their goal.

Very cool. Interested in learning more. Would like to list your courses on our site (https://curiosity.com).

We're not focused on curriculum, but rather a collection of content around a subject at https://curiosity.com.

Wiki, text, video, audio...people learn different ways in different order unless they're made to do otherwise. We're focused on the always curious person. MOOCs serve a different purpose so hard to see them going more unstructured.

Proud to have worked on this site with a great crew in Chicago.
