🟨 I redesigned better.dev course pages. They were confusing

[View in browser]( [youtube]( [twitter]( Hey friends! [Chris Sev]( here. Been a while since my last update. Was busy trying to stay away from a computer and went to my [scotch.io cofounders wedding](. Coming back from about a week off, I realized Twitter is all the same (a lot of click baity "heres how i made 1000000$ in a day), but I was able to gain some perspective on next steps for [better.dev]( and a new project. It's easy to get caught in the rat race when you stare at a Twitter feed every day. Leave the noise so you can hear your own thoughts. [Redesigned Course Pages]( After I got back, went straight to work redesigning the [better.dev]( course pages. To be honest, I was disappointed with the Productive VS Code launch. This is the nature of the game though; try something, see it doesn't work, and pivot. Success is a culmination of small tweaks and constant work. I'm narrowing down the biggest problem to the UI (for now). After all, these courses did well when they were launched on Podia, but haven't done well on the new site. This is what sparked the course pages redesign and a new plan to release a new course every month.
