RE: I have created an online module that teaches Markdown for Steemit users!

in #markdown8 years ago

What a fabulous idea. I've signed up so here is my feedback, as detailed as I can be:

The Introduction (very first one) is missing text.

In the links section it is a bit confusing as to why you suggest using <>around the email address as just using the normal markup will do the trick. I think that would prompt people to use HTML elsewhere and have a lot of it non-supported. That being said, an HTML section may be helpful.

"Indentation" is a better term to use than "indention". Both are correct but the latter may confuse ESL speakers as it's rarer.

One last thing, based on the introduction of Dtube and its insertion of HTML coding into posts, a section about HTML use in Steemit posts may be good. Just another reason to add it.

I've really enjoyed this short class and learned something! Is there no certificate for me to PDF for my resume? :p

Sort:  

@xeonn, thanks for the comment and all of the great feedback.

  1. I have not worked on the intro yet. It is on my to-do list. I plan to do so and improve the landing page for the online school and online course.
  2. Thanks for this input. As I have been creating the training module, I have learned a lot as well. I work on this more.
  3. I was planning on doing an simple HTML section for things that markdown does not do or at least not do well.
  4. I will change the wording to "Indentation". I want this to be as readable as possible for all users.
  5. Same as response #3. I had not thought of this being used for DTube so I will be sure to check our what tricks would be helpful there.
  6. I would love to give people a certificate of sorts, but the platform does not support it (at least not now)

Thanks again for taking the time to look through the course and give me valuable feedback. Much appreciated!

Not a problem and best of luck. It's too bad that certificates are not permitted on the platform. I would have guessed that a statement of completion of some sort would have been an option.

@xeonn, I have a quick question. I have been looking for the "normal markup" language you spoke of regarding emails, and can not find anything about it.

I have tested several syntax options in both Safari and Chrome, and I can not get an email to turn into a clickable link without the < >.

Do you mind explaining more?

No, you are correct, I was wrong. What I was thinking is that the typical [mailto: markdown would work but on second glance it does not. I hope you didn't waste too much time on my mistake.

No worries. I just wanted to me make sure that I was not missing something. Thanks for all of your feedback.
