The articles are extremely informative, as is the sequence of sections. Code examples always compile, or interpret. The overall content should serve as a continual reference for those in active education. At the same time, the writing style is never turgid, or gummy. Run on sentences, fragmented aspects of a topic, etc.al., would only stifle the learning. process. When I make my first contribution, I will adhere to the standards at Medium.

The content is very good but the app has a serious flaw because of which all those five star reviews astonish me. You can't edit your stories or responses In this app; if you try to do so you get the "Draft failed to load" error. This happens on both my old and new phones, which run Android v9 and v14 respectively. When you roll out an app whose content depends on user participation, you should make sure it is fully functional.

Most of my complaints have been addressed. This does have one odd quirk: if a story has embedded video links the app will auto-scroll to put the image on the screen. Very distracting, as usually what I was reading get scrolled off the screen and I have to scroll back down several times, fighting with the app that keeps insisting on putting the video on.
