Nice product

We're really excited to share the next big version of Enki!
We started with a product for devs, by devs -- and we were overwhelmed (positively!) by the response. Now we're sharing a new version of the product to help anyone get started with tech skills, or just build momentum in learning.
I've written a longer blog post with more details on the new version, and our story:

We'd love to hear your guys' feedback on the product!
@danirogerc it's free! for pro version ping me I'll give you first month free kirill@enki.com
I hate it when you can learn nothing of substance from the website for an app without actually downloading the app. No screenshots, no videos, not even a description of expected functionality or an obvious call to action other than 'download the app!'. And no, I do not want to talk to your sales team. Like... why should I? Your website gives me absolutely zero reason to do so. Bold claims backed only by testimonials and client logos are hard to verify and tell me absolutely nothing about your product. It's a terrible way to communicate to a potential customer, and startups always do this, and it's no wonder why they spend so much money on targeted ads on social media.
I try not to use my phone very often because they are specifically NOT secure devices, and not trustworthy. It should go without saying, but many seem to forget it, if a company tries to make you download an app for your phone, especially if they aren't charging you for it, you are not the customer here. Your data is being pulled and used elsewhere. Any company that claims that they aren't doing so could absolutely be lying and you'd never know for sure because there's really no part of the app ecosystem that is transparent enough to ensure end-to-end information security.
@hunter_trujillo "if a company tries to make you download an app for your phone, especially if they aren't charging you for it, you are not the customer here. Your data is being pulled and used elsewhere. "
That's not always true. If it's early in the product trajectory, they may not have got to the features which are going to be paid features. They may be waiting to build up a big user base before they offer a higher level of service or have not yet written those features.
That is certainly the case for our app (Touchgram) which has multiple paths to monetisation with added value tools and resources coming in 2020. So as a fellow-founder, I'm a little more generous in judging why an app may be free.
I agree the Enki website is a little low on details and demos of what it's like to use it.
Very excited about this update!😃
I loved Enki 1.0 and had a record streak of about 90 at some point!
However the app became unusable, riddled with bugs.. didn't save progress, the algorithm was repeating questions etc. so I stopped using it (this was 2-3 years ago).
But guess what?
I just downloaded the App again.. I always enjoyed the real actionable insights and easy way to learn on the go!👌Great stuff!
I really like and use enki for already a year now. I think the only missing piece is the web app. It is really hard to get excited about some new pice of info and try it on the phone. Are there any plans for the web app ?
I’m so impressed with the team for delivering this! This rewrite was a *big* effort, and I’m so impressed. The stability and usability of the app has improved so much. I’m most excited about how the community has been invited in with the edit button- you can now make any of the small tweaks that occur to you right from the app! This will be the most user-driven CS education effort I’ve ever seen!
Can’t recommend this enough! Enki 1.0 revolutionised the game when it came to honing my dev skills; very excited to play with the new and improved version! Thanks Guys!
@dmakh lol of course you can't recommend this enough because you're my brother. but even more lol because it's true 😘
Thanks @alisa_smelkova, glad you like it 😊! Eventually, yes. The goal is to provide a continuous learning instructor for any relevant tech skill.
Anything that helps me keep working on my ability to code is a great product, and Enki definitely has helped understand some concepts (like hooks) a little bit better.
If I’m just at the beginning, is this app suitable for me? It looks wonderful!!!
Really awesome app for learning Python and not just the basics that others have, Thanks for an awesome product!!!!
@tobias_johansson2 yep, for most topics it's relevant for all levels. enjoy!
I am JavaScript/React Native Developer and i am using ENKI for last 16 months. In first place honestly, i didn't believe that you can build skills only playing with the quizzes daily for 15 min, but i was terribly wrong. Every nite instead of playing games, I am doing 15 min quizzes, challenging my knowledge in JavaScript, and also on the way I learn Python & BlockChain just playing with the app. Big Thank to ENKI team , great product and idea. For me this app is a GAME OF KNOWLEDGE and easiest way to learn is trough playing. ;) looking forward to master my React Skills !!!
