Author here. I'm working on a new version of Code Hike, more flexible. Docs: https://v1.codehike.org/docs

Are your older build-a-react tutorial available anywhere? The links on your site are broken and I wanted to implement a class/object based system using your older tutorial.

yes, try to find them on medium.com directly. I'm afk travelling right now, I'll update the links next week

Thanks for the pointer.

For others who are interested: https://medium.com/hexacta-engineering/didact-learning-how-r... and https://medium.com/@pomber are the articles.

If anyone wants to try the API for the first time, I've made this guide recently: https://gpt.pomb.us/

Posted something new today: https://pomb.us/

To be fair, it may be the "biggest change ever", but it doesn't change too much. It buff some units that were bad, nerf some units and techs that were too good. But the general meta remains the same. The devs are really good at introducing changes.

I maintain one of the selected projects. $20k means that I can focus on the project without taking any freelance work on the side for a while. Hopefully making the project more attractive to sponsors, hopefully snowballing into more OSS and less freelance.

By the way, https://github.com/sponsors/code-hike/

Thank you!

No problem man. I don't know if you remember, but you helped us add Codehike to our documentation some time back!

As the maintainer of one of the selected projects (https://codehike.org/), I really appreciate what GitHub is doing, putting the money and trying different approaches (last year it was $450K across 900 projects).

yay pomber! love code hike even tho i wasnt ultimately able to use it at my prev company, still want to use it some day because it is beautiful

My approach with Code Hike (https://codehike.org/) was to add a sponsor-wall to some parts of the docs, not sure if it falls under any of those categories. It's working decently well ($600 per month).

> https://codehike.org/demo/scrollycoding-preview

> The code of this demo is hidden until it reaches five sponsors.

> Become a sponsor for $9 a month to have full acces to all demos:

Maybe I misunderstand, but I could either pay $9/month and would be able to access it directly, or I wait until you get 5 more sponsors (for that specific page) and then I'll be able to access the content for free, like everyone else?

So if I end up sponsoring the page to view it, I could end up being the fifth sponsor, unlocking the page for everyone and ultimately spent the money for content that now everyone can view too?

that's right

yeah, whats wrong with that?

Probably would get much better results if it said "$50 bounty for this demo" or whatever, and collected pledges of any amount, instead of hoping for exactly 5 whales to show up.

And making a subscription makes the value prop even more confusing.

Seems like an own-goal.

That's quite an interesting approach. And congratulations on getting Meta to sponsor your project. Even if they are only giving you $9/month it must still feel like quite the validation.

Thanks. Meta made a generous one-time donation via Open Collective https://opencollective.com/codehike

Good software needs no docs.

Not Markdoc, but there are several OSS examples of how you can do something similar with MDX + Code Hike. https://codehike.org/

I like that they write it as a trade of. I think I still prefer the maintainability complications of "docs as code" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEu3t-KJVVg
