I'm actively working on making this platform better, and I would really love to hear any comments/feedback/suggestions/critique!
It would also be useful to have information about why each is considered best and who it is best for (beginner, intermediate, advanced?). The votes don't really provide information.
Finally, the number of topics might be too broad too soon. Drilling down on one topic and getting all the details right is an alternative. Resources for ounders and web developers and backend engineers do not have a lot of overlap and the competing topics are noisy from the user's perspective...filtering by the user is not a substitute for the benefits that can come from a narrowly focused design.
Good luck.
There are tags at the bottom of each post, indicating it's type and difficulty level.
To drill down on one topic and get the details right I'm planning to use tags, like this one:
The difficulty may be that the website does not express clear opinions...I mean 'opinions' in the sense of Ruby on Rails where agree or disagree the number of decisions the user must make is reduced. For comparison consider Zed Shaw's Learn X the Hard Way. There are other ways of teaching that might be better for some learners. Those people are able to make a quick decision that Shaw's work is not for them. He does not waste their time searching and trying to be all things to all people. Rails does not try to be all things to all people either. That's good.
