Yes, you can! I'll record a video on how to do that with the new IDE, as it's indeed a bit unclear.

Technically, there are ways to do that, though it's not a core use-case for us, which is why we're not pushing it. An alternative way is to embed the scrims into your own platform, and have the scrims be unlisted on Scrimba. Would

Once we have our desktop app ready (very soon), it'll be possible to record any language. However, the viewer then won't get the same ability to run the code, only to edit it. We do have rudimentary Python support with the interac

Yes, we'd be happy to collaborate on creating something on Joystick. It looks like an awesome framework!

We currently create the courses ourselves, but would love to see if there’s an opportunity for a collab here. Please send me an email at per@scrimba.com :)

If you make a change, then the screencast pauses and you create a branch of the codebase, so that you can experiment on your own. Once you hit "play" again, your changes are reverted and you continue watching the teacher's co

Would love to see tscircuit tutorials on Scrimba! It’s easy to record — just talk over the code. I demo it in this scrim from around 1:40. https://scrimba.com/s0kmcarts1 The preview is rendered live, not video. So with heav

Very glad to hear that! Yes, we’re working on a desktop app (currently in alpha) that lets you record Scrimba screencasts of local codebases. It’ll be perfect for onboarding, and since it runs on your own machine, it can support any languag

CodeMic looks very cool, well done! A lot of people have asked us over the years whether we they can implement Scrimba into their preferred IDE, so it makes total sense to take that approach as well.

Good question! Expanding from client-side JS to Node.js is our first step in that direction. We considered server-side execution for all languages but chose WebContainers instead, as it’s a better fit for us when teaching fullstack web dev,

Thanks! Not sure I fully understand — do you mean using our DOM recorder on other web apps instead of our IDE? In theory, yes, we’ve used it on third-party sites in previous iterations of Scrimba. But there are some limitations, as certain

Thank you so much! That kind of word-of-mouth is the reason we’ve been able to grow without raising a ton of money .

Awesome to hear that you're using Imba! It's my co-founder Sindre who has created it, not me. But please share whatever you're building with us (e.g. via Twitter or Discord), as we love seeing people use it to build stuff :)

Charge for our product. I'm the founder of Scrimba.com, an interactive code-learning platform. We went almost two years from when we launched our very first free course until we launched our very first paid course. In the meanwhile, we

If so, then it would actually be legally and morally ok for the artist to do a «double sell» as I describe in my original comment. It would be like i.e. selling a signed copy of a book to one person (the NFT) and the underlying copyright (t

by mrborgen 6y ago
The NFTs are meant to prove ownership over digital items, aren’t they? Not ownership as in «I am the only one who can share this GIF in Facebook», but as in «I own the copyright to this GIF».
24.
by mrborgen 6y ago
Yes, indeed. My question is if the NFT will be treated as a valid proof of ownership in a legal battle. I’m guessing it would hold some validity, but lose against a well-written sales contract.
25.
by mrborgen 6y ago
I’m curious as to how NFTs will compare to a sales contract from a legal point of view. E.g. if say an artist sells the rights to a digital artwork via both an NFT and via a normal sales contract. Both buyers claim ownership to the artwork

freeCodeCamp did a survey amongst people learning to code, and 3 out of 4 used YouTube to learn. And that didn't even include other video sources. In Stack Overflow's 2020 survey, over 50% of respondents said they use video tutori

No, but we’ve considered open sourcing it, so we might do it one day.

You can already sign up, create casts, add them to a playlist, and share it with your students. That won’t cost you a dime. However, the current version of Scrimba isn’t really tailored for this B2B use-case, as I can imagine you’d want to
