Show HN: Turn a markdown document into an interactive tutorial

  • If the browsing user selects one of the samples on the site (which is verified easily with a quick hash on the client side), why on earth are you processing it again? Load shouldn't be an issue here.

    Honestly, users shouldn't even be able to ruin your sales pipeline by interrupting your pitch. Why let us enter any markdown? It's an example, you have a few representative samples, just take their output and hard code it and move on. As it stands now, I probably won't remember to come back so see what this is all about, and waiting for an email isn't really going to increase the odds that I come back.

    Just some honest feedback for you. TL:DR: I was intrigued by the first page, put off by the unnecessary wait when you could've hard coded the response when a user chooses an existing sample.

  • I'm getting

        500 error
        [root]$ :(){ :|:& };:
        -bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
    
    Hopefully that second line and bash don't hint at a command execution vulnerability.

  • 1. Clicked "try it now" for demo. 2. Went straight to a "give us your email" page. 3. Left and will never go back.

    I laugh.

  • The real killer app would be the complete opposite, i.e. turning an interactive tutorial into a README file...

  • Is this an email collecting app or what?

    I'm clicking on the button to see what does this app do and they it says signup and we will notify you later.

  • The HN title is somewhat of an understatement... This is really cool.

  • that is one hell of a jump in pricing. free to 239 euro p/month

  • The usual scam, they ask for email and try to gather more leads.

    ``` Unfortunately, we are out of free slots at the moment. We're Sorry! If you would like to be notified as soon as we have a free slot available, we invite you to sign up. ```

    I'm really disappointed.

  • The markdown text input is borderline unreadable in Chrome on Windows 10: https://i.imgur.com/vTu2J34.png

  • Markdown or HTML?

    From the example:

        1. <a href="https://app.storj.io/#/signup" target="_blank">Sign up</a> for a Storj account.

  • #fail on the demo and then add the arrogant .. "We seem to be to popular at the moment ... give me your email"

  • An interactive guide to fork bombing

  • Dat fast scroll jacking.

  • 500 then 404...

  • { detail: "CSRF Failed: CSRF token missing or incorrect." }

  • Good idea, Not working though :(
