My toughest project yet

/ Jack Lot


The reveal of a secret project I’d been building for months, the biggest solo undertaking I’ve done. This is the video where I finally talked about what it is and why I’m making it.

Key takeaways

  • The motivation is the limits of YouTube as a platform. Playlists are the only grouping mechanism and videos are mostly standalone.
  • The rich content that helps Git comprehension most, images, interactive components and code snippets, does not exist on YouTube at all.
  • The answer is LearnGit.io: a search engine, a video archive, an interactive visualiser and a Git course in one.
  • It teaches the core concepts first and layers the complex topics on top, designed as a daily companion rather than a one-off online course.
  • Whatever language you write or company you work at, you use Git every day, on day one or day two thousand.
  • The waitlist newsletter is where the screenshots, feature previews and progress updates go.
  • This is a companion to the channel, not a replacement. I expect it to supercharge how much I make rather than slow it down.
