Help us reach 10000 users till the end of 2015
Back to General discussions forum
Friends, you know that you, participants of CodeAbbey are the main and only fortune for this site and for me :)
At the beginning of 2015 we had about 3000 colleagues here. I dreamed of reaching the goal of 10000
by the end of the year... Well, now we have 3 months and still 2500 short.
It seems the audience grows slower than I hoped. I know this is mostly my guilt - I should work harder on improving the site and adding better-quality problems. Well, I'll try :)
However another thing to care of is spreading the word about CodeAbbey. I think that some forums
and resources (e.g. reddit/r/learnprogramming) where I sometimes post info about it
already have got tired of me, ha-ha...
- So perhaps you can hint me about other places, which I am unaware of?
- Or you can bring the word yourself to some forums you know?
- Or tell about the site to your schoolmates and colleagues?
Can we just have something like kickstarter campaign, but raising Friends, not Funds? I know that you all helped CodeAbbey in many ways - and your help in this matter also is invaluable!
Please, feel free to post your suggestions or boast about advertising our site at other forums :)
At this picture you see how our audience grew during this year - and you see we are still to cover significant gap.
Hi, it might also be worth trying out some of the other /r/learn... subs on reddit too.
I'm on /r/learnjavascript and I know there's a big list of others in the /r/learnprogramming wiki. I'll continue to recommend on the programming chatrooms and forums I frequent and I hope we reach the target soon. The site definitely deserves it!
Dave, Hi! Thank you for speedy response! I'll try with /r/learnjavascript thank you! By the way initially I thought that JS is not good for solving problems here (due to limited data structures etc.) but some users demonstrated that I was wrong :)
It's my first language and I'm doing Code Abbey alongside some online courses. I can't compare it to any other langauages, but there's definitely some times it comes in useful (..and a fair few times it leaves me clueless!) =)
Came here when I saw CodeAbbey user banner in someone's signature on another forum. So maybe add more variety to these and encourage people to use them.
Thank you for this info! I did not know these banners (which were implemented just recently with the help of colleagues) work at all. Though perhaps currently there are not many people using them besides me. Here is my banner - I've tried to learn Scala from one of the test accounts:
I believe it is used at forum-projecteuler, dreamincode and devshed forums...
Yes, Graeme, you are right. Regretfully it seems we'll not reach this goal in time. I'm afraid this is to certain degree my fault as during last weeks I could not dedicate enough time to the site. Well, ok, it is not the the troublest trouble, after all :)
Grae, hello!
Thanks for watching this so carefully :) I think the growth is far not explosive as I expected then, back in 2015, but on the other hand the numbers don't feel that important now. It brought some experience and also helped to meet some wonderful people, that matters!
Just published a small task related to parsing BASIC code :)
