       | Hi HN!
       | 
       | I'm a designer who's been learning to code for a while now (far
       | longer than I'd love to admit) and one of my biggest issues was
       | trying to find something to code.
       | 
       | I would usually design something and then code it, but that took
       | too much time. So I made Codewell! Let me know your thoughts on
       | this project and why you think this could or couldn't be helpful
       | for beginners!

         | Also, I really like the fact that you've thought of this as a
         | SAAS service. Must have been quite a bit of work.
         | 
         | All the best.

         | lots of traction with this project?

         | Hey man; really love the project. I've frequently wanted
         | something like this. Will probably look at this when mentoring
         | fresh frontend devs. Great work!

         | On the subscription page in the description of the plans when
         | you say "Access to source files" I feel it would make sense to
         | say "Access to Figma source files" instead, otherwise people
         | might get a wrong idea.

           | Do you mean that people could mistake source files with the
           | assets inside?

             | Without your clarification, I and other might mentally
             | parse "Access to source files" => "Access to source [code]
             | files".

               | Agreed.
               | 
               | When I searched for an answer to "What do I get with a
               | subscription?"
               | 
               | It was "oh source code files."

       | Congrats on launching. But how is this different from
       | frontendmentor?
       | 
       | I have some feedback. Given that other sites are giving exact
       | same service, this is not of much use to me. However, what I need
       | is step by step instructions on how to accomplish a given
       | template. I do not need finished code. I need instructions on how
       | to build each component, styling of each header, each "card", how
       | to use bootstrap rows and make sure nothing over flow, make sure
       | images are not clipped inside grid layout etc. There are
       | individual tutorials for each part but it has become hard to find
       | tuorials for entire project.
       | 
       | Some youtube videos come close but since they are made by
       | experts, its never clear what can go wrong and how one should
       | reason about it.
       | 
       | I guess I want annotated solutions and not finished solutions. I
       | gave same feedback for other sites, but they agreed its needed
       | but didnt do anything about it.
