    Hey folks! I'm Ashu, the founder of Make School. We're building a new university based in San Francisco and just launched a new online course platform to share curriculum from our CS bachelor's degree for free online.

    We'd love to get your feedback on the new course platform as well as the course itself. We're aiming to pair high quality videos with in-browser coding exercises for a combo passive / active learning course.

    The platform was built on Gatsby in about a month. Personally, this was my first time writing production code in nearly 5 years, so feeling excited to have launched this :)

    I haven’t seen more than the first page but is the course a “learn Python syntax” course or a computer science concepts course? Seems like the content is focused on basic python syntax like every other “coding 101” course but perhaps I’m wrong.
