Just finished the swift course and it leaves me wanting more. I mostly like that I can do a few excercises while waiting for the train to arrive and then just pick it up the next day for a few minutes. Feels a bit like duolingo for learning. Unnoticed some humanities subjects in the store screenshots? Would be cool to do the same treatment for history or more high level concepts in programming like algorithms. Kudos so far!

Great you love it! We're building more Swift content right now! Commutes are a perfect use case.

Right now we're focusing on our best programming courses. We're about to release courses like Data Science and Machine Learning. Apologies about the screenshot: it's out of date and Apple won't let us update it without submitting a new version.

Ugh typos, but you got my point :) Are you planning to move beyond programming too (duolingo for learning -anything-) or is that just wishful thinking on my part?

Right now we're planning on doing one thing really well before we do more. But there's no reason this model doesn't work for other subjects.

Wait, so it's called Py but has a course on Swift?

Might want to rethink that name or something.

Most users don't think Py = Python. Most associate it with the number. See name discussion below.
