We're a community of independent code learners who help each other on Slack, schedule hangouts to learn with each other, contribute to a periodic anonymous crowdsourced newsletter where anyone can share a personal project or leave a shout out, and post on Facebook. We come from all over the world; there are members living in the United States, Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Russia, Australia, Canada, India, and more. We accept donations and are 100% transparent on Open Collective.
Learning with each other helps us learn faster. We strive to create a safe space for anyone interested in code to talk about the learning process. The project is free and open-sourced on Github, and this app is 100% community/volunteer-built.
Join us on Slack! You can get your invite by clicking on the Slack invite button and join the community by verifying your invitation through your e-mail!
PLEASE go to contributing.md and refer to the contribution steps listed there! There are also helpful resources there, in case you get stuck. To add yourself as a contributor, please see the How do I add myself as a contributor? section.

Our community spends a lot of time helping each other on our public Slack (P.S. You can get an invite here if you want to join), but it's hard to schedule screensharing/voice hangout study times via Slack, and it's also hard to know who else is online and available for joining a Hangout to work on something together. The platform we're building solves those issues.
