You know when they say "They had almost nothing and they made it from scratch"? They are most likely talking about people like me (and you). Funding your dream with whatever you have (or have left..). No Serie A, B, etc. Just choosing to invest in your dream instead of buying that new suit.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails. I've got my shares of failures before this and will probably still have failures in the future. That's part of the risk you take when you try to make it happen on your own.

I know it's still way too early to declare victory.

ThinkTutorial.com's growth is for now only numbers and traffic volume increases. I however know that if I was able to help someone out there answering a question they had through our tutorials, then I am fully satisfied, and thus: Successful. It's sometimes just a matter of perspective.

Thank you all for spreading the word around. It's much appreciated!

Thank you for your feedback!

UPDATE: We removed the most recent post from the front page and currently the page are loaded by rand() every time you reload the page, to show a more diverse set of tutorials.

Thanks for the feedback!

a) Thanks! b) Ok we will think of something more efficient. c) Ok noted. d) No the tutorials at the front are the most recently posted. May be we can add a "Most Popular" Tab? e) It's free, you meant users comments right?

bwh2: Great idea. My question is: Would it be kosher to pre-cache? ;)

There is a powerful caching module for the sites you access from your mobile phone though. I will have to ask my developers how to implement this in the preview.

First of all, bwh2, thank you for your feedback!

1) Thanks :)

2) That is our challenge. We are working on this currently and will be releasing a newer version of the preview (emulator) very soon!

The main items we will be addressing in our next release are the following:

2.a) Preview Speed (It currently convert all data on page)

2.b) Preview Quality (Better engineering of pages previewed)

2.c) "Build your Mobile Site from Scratch" Module (for users that wants to)

2.d) Internationalization: Website will be translated and accessible in more languages.

2.e) "Self-taught"/AI Conversion Engine (Not all websites are build the same, therefore our ultimate goal is to have an engine that convert better everytime it converts based on aggregations on sites structures)

5) Thank you! I will work on that right away starting today and update you here as soon as it is implemented.
