@builov84 ๐Ÿ‘‹ Hey, thanks a ton for the shoutout and your support for Codebay! ๐Ÿ™Œ We're thrilled that the AI-TA feature and cross-platform flexibility caught your attention. It's fantastic to hear you see the value for coding newcomers. Regarding the upcoming AI-optimized learning, absolutely! Our plan is to offer personalized courses for everyone. For instance, if you've already mastered a particular topic, we can skip the basics and provide more advanced exercises. On the other hand, if you're struggling with a certain syntax, the AI can offer additional exercises or provide more detailed explanations.

@paulwangyyww @shaneyan Congrats on the launch Codebay team! Actually, I have experience with running an online coding school for kids before, and Codebay is very interesting to me. I downloaded the app and tried a lesson. I think the interactive lectures supported by AI tutors work well! I'm curious to know why you chose to create native apps at first. I thought web apps may be more suitable for learning to code since, these days, students tend to have coding lessons at school and use laptops. Do you plan to release a web version or a desktop version??

@atsuhiro_teshima Hey there! We're genuinely thrilled to hear your feedback, and it's fantastic that you find Codebay's learning approach intriguing. Now, let me address your question. We started with native apps because we wanted to tackle a common issue many beginners face when they contemplate learning to code. In today's world, we're practically glued to our smartphones, and we imagined a scenario where you could easily squeeze in some coding knowledge during any free moment. No more excuses for procrastination! That said, a desktop version is on our roadmap, as we understand that coding on a computer provides a more robust experience. Thanks for your keen interest and for exploring the possibilities with us!

@shaneyan Thank you for telling me the details Shane! Yeah, makes sense. Learning on a PC might give a better experience, but for learning continuously, mobile is the better platform.

@atsuhiro_teshima Hello, thanks for the input! I would imagine PC is the place to go when users have big chunks of time to work on some serious problems (we will definitely release PC version shortly) , while mobile can do the work of sending reminders, scrolling Flashcards, or working on some lite excises. At the end of the day we are in a tough fight with TikTok alike for usersโ€™ time and attention, so we have to find whatever slots available.

Congratulations on the launch. This looks pretty good. I was pretty hesitant to see what the code looks like on a phone because usually you need more horizontal space, but you made it work. The beginner lessons don't really need as much space as I first thought, and the small lessons are a good format for phones. I could see this app being recommended to school children who are just starting with the first hello worlds. The design is good and with a little bit of gamifying it could work wonders!

@leon_novacki Thank you for your support! When we initially designed this app, we indeed had concerns about the coding experience on a phone. That's why we developed a small, convenient keyboard for users when they're coding on a phone. We also place a strong emphasis on making it fun and engaging, as we believe this is crucial for beginners to enjoy learning Python without finding it dull. We greatly appreciate your suggestion about gamification, and we think it's a fantastic idea. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!

@leon_novacki Thank you for your sincere feedback, Leon! Coming from a CS background, programming on a desktop felt almost second nature to me. It was only when I delved into teaching coding that I realized the first step for beginners isn't about mastering the "right way" to code but rather about taking action! And what's more accessible for action than our ever-present phones? Your point on gamification is spot on โ€” it's a direction we're actively exploring! We've already taken steps toward incorporating playful elements into the learning experience, and looking ahead (fingers crossed), we aim to integrate even more reward mechanisms typical of games to make learning to code a joyful journey for kids (and the young-at-heart adults alike ๐Ÿ˜‰

@leon_novacki Thank you! We did put a lot of thought and effort into making Python learning accessible on small screens. For example, we put a layer of virtual keyboard on top of the system keyboard so itโ€™s easier to input symbols like โ€˜ () [].

@carolmoh Thank you for your support! We understand that for Python beginners, the initial learning curve can be quite challenging. From setting up the development environment to grasping the fundamental concepts, it's a journey that can feel overwhelming. Codebay was created to address these challenges by providing a user-friendly platform that simplifies the learning process. We want to make learning Python as accessible and enjoyable as possible, no matter where you are or what your level of experience is. Your feedback and encouragement are greatly appreciated as we work towards making Python education more accessible and convenient for all.

@carolmoh Thank you, Carol! In our fast-paced digital age, overlooking the convenience of mobile learning in favor of traditional classrooms would indeed be a missed opportunity. It's the desire to avoid "what ifs" and "could have beens" that inspired us to launch Codebay. We're thrilled to hear you love the concept!

Hey PH community, I'm the founder of Codebay, and I'm thrilled to introduce this new app that's all about making Python programming approachable for everyone, right from their phones. Learning to code was a game-changer for me. It opened up a world where I could turn my ideas into something real. I want to bring that same opportunity to everyone, and that's why we created Codebay. When it comes to learning how to code, here's what we've noticed: Getting Started Is Tough: Before you can even write your first line of code, you're googling how to set up your environment, install libraries, and troubleshoot installation issues. It's enough to put a lot of people off. Sticking With It Is Tough: It's easy to forget what you've learned if you don't practice, or life gets in the way, or you just don't feel like opening up your laptop. One missed day turns into two, and suddenly you're out of the habit. Feeling Accomplished Is Tough: Coding has a steep learning curve. A lot of folks give up before they ever get to experience the satisfaction of getting a program to run. Finding Help Is Tough: Error messages might as well be in another language when you're starting out. Sometimes you spend hours just trying to find a missing semicolon. We built Codebay to tackle these issues head-on: No Setup Needed: Codebay is ready to go as soon as you download the app. You'll be writing and running your first line of code in literally 10 seconds. Learn Anywhere: With Codebay, your phone is your coding classroom. Learn whenever you have a few minutes to spare, no matter where you are. Keep It Fun: We've added features to keep you coming backโ€”think of it like the addictive nature of a good game, but you're learning a valuable skill. Real Progress: We've packed Codebay with quizzes and exercises that give you a real sense of achievement as you go. AI-Powered Help: Got a bug? Our integration with ChatGPT means you've got realtime help right when you need it, so you spend less time stuck and more time learning. We're excited to see where Codebay can take you in your coding journey. Your feedback is invaluable, so let us know what you think, and happy coding! Cheers, Paul Wang

@crishellenase Thank you for your support! We understand how challenging it can be for beginners to start coding, and we know that learning to code involves both fun and practice. That's why we wanted to create a product that makes learning engaging and keeps learners focused while providing them with coding exercises whenever they're ready. This was the inspiration behind Codebay! I think your suggestion about milestones is a great idea. We also want learners to feel a sense of achievement as they progress on their coding journey. Your feedback is very inspiring, and we'll certainly explore ways to gamify the learning experience even more. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
