I'm craving this type of content but in video format. Something along the lines of MIT/Stanford courses but focuses on "Do your own X". Most youtube content I'm aware of is focused on entertainment while coding and I find it distracting.
Watching videos serves a diferent role than interactive b/c you get to take in audio and visual together, which _can_ support a higher bandwidth learning(depending on quality of the video). Also, for unfamiliar subjects, it’s useful to be exposed to the concepts and constructs first so you can build a mental scaffoliding that supports the details. Speech seems to be a better medium for that.
Interactive, like other info sources that present info linearly and in high detail are much less efficient, but allow you to learn the ‘doing’ aspect that a video would not.
But I am curious about what you’ve made. How has the reception for this type of info product been so far?
On average I'd say we get a 50/50 split between folks who like the doing/challenge aspect of it, vs those who wished there was more "consuming" type of content, e.g vidoes/text
Interactive stuff requires me to participate whereas videos/streams can be consumed when I'm less attentive. I've just checked out Jon Gjengset's video, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Another similar channel:

I'm more interested in (a) system/code design and (b) mechanically how they solve problems (eg how they debug, get around the editor etc) to improve myself. I'm less interested in the code itself.
