"If you're not making progress, it's just that the quality of what you're learning isn't up to the mark. It's not that you as a person are not capable." Raj, a web developer in Bengaluru, at our first meet up. More from him and four others in our new film. Come watch the full video on https://t.co/Dgyd8I15H0.
If you're not sure how to frame your goal, talk it through with Grasp's mentor before you generate the course. It can help you narrow things down, factor in a target date if you have one, and figure out what's realistic given the time you have.

The most useful learning goals describe what you'll be able to do, not just what you'll know.
Three choices that can help you shape good ones with Grasp:
3. Build on what you've already learned.
New courses work better when they pick up from existing ones rather than starting from scratch. With Grasp you can reference previous courses to create new ones.
imo there's fair chance the web develops a parallel markdown universe for agents to read
so you should buy your .md domain for $25 before the Moldovans catch on and start extorting us all
my plan for https://t.co/OfBgEyXfj6 is to have the same routes but ~plaintext replication
Introducing Grasp Meetups β

You can now bring any link into Grasp.
Drop in a URL to build a full course around it, or share it with your mentor to discuss.
Anything you find online, now part of your learning. https://t.co/ENgTop2xoi
Grasp lessons just got better, every reading and video in your now comes with time estimates and sharper guidance

This week we continued improving how resources work in Grasp, this time for reading.
When your mentor points you to an article or text, you land directly on the relevant passage with the key excerpt already highlighted, instead of a generic page you'd have to hunt through.
Also shipped: mark resources as done to track your progress, and discuss images directly with your mentor.
π οΈ Note:
This works only for new courses for now. We're working on making it backwards compatible.
Sometimes websites aren't formatted to support it, we've provided a text snippet to help you find the right section manually.
Try it β https://t.co/Dgyd8I15H0
We just shipped a small but satisfying improvement to video resources in Grasp.
When your mentor points you to a video, you now land at the exact timestamp they meant. Ready to watch.
No more scrubbing timelines. Every minute you spend navigating is a minute you're not learning.
βοΈ Note: This works only for new courses for now. We're working on making it backwards compatible.

Also shipping this week: a few things that make studying on Grasp noticeably better
- Your mentor now sees your full exercise history
- Exercise questions are sharper and more focused
- Mentor shared resources are better organised
