Is it possible to add an interactive challenge or two on the homepage prior to sign up? I think that would hook people in and make them want to sign up.



Good idea, currently I spin up a 2 neovim instances for each challenge, so can only spin up so many at once with my current setup. But, am moving to a kubernetes setup where I can scale up and down the number of neovim instances more reliably and will add that in then.


Ah, I assumed it would be an nvim JS clone running client side. Had you looked into that route?


I have, but all the JS vim clones are emulations of vim, and don't support all the vim motions (like copying from registers, etc). I honestly could do that and it would be easier, but doing it this way, also allows me to record the keystrokes directly from the neovim runtime.
