50k ft — Why care?

Waitlist promo for a paid coding community built like a video game: a sprite navigates locations (tavern, clock tower, forge, market), each with its own loading animation. Mostly a pricing pitch ($197 for the first 100, then ~$400); the only takeaway is the game-style course UI.

Update to my secret sauce machine. We have a new sprite in there and also when I go into certain locations I have a cool loading menu look at this oh My goodness and each location has their own for example the tavern has this loading animation oh Let's go also.

I'm building in public right now So you can go back and check my recent videos about what's what's happening inside of the course how it's coming along and how Interactive it is. It's literally like I'm trying to build a video game here. I'm trying to I get it It's 2026. You don't have time to sit through a 15,000 hour course with with just boring videos No, I'm trying to make it interactive engaging. I have a background design I have a background in short form video. So I understand attention spans I understand visual hierarchies. I get it. I'm designing with that in mind as the first principle So excited to share this with…
