    Hi HN,

    I’ve published over a hundred coding tutorials in the last few years and read hundreds more.

    There are a number of things that frustrate me as both an author and reader:

    - It’s difficult to create focused code examples.

    - It’s difficult to keep code examples accurate and properly formatted.

    My aim in creating WalkThru is to make it easier to read and write code tutorials. By utilizing the interactive and dynamic aspects of the web WalkThru provides:

    - Code examples that can dynamically focus on specific lines.

    - Code examples are compiled from linted and formatted source code.

    I’d be grateful for any feedback or contributions.
