Count me as one who couldn't find his way. I'm not usually very
sympathetic to whining about Gui's that aren't perfect, but this one
is beyond my ability to traverse.
I'd really like to view some of the content. I have no concern about
the licensing; I have no intent to redistribute. Why do you make it so
difficult?
How about an ftp site with a directory of videos? That I could
understand.
Not sure why navigation has been a problem, I was able to follow it. A
bit too many choices to get to the same place in round about ways, but I
was able to navigate it. This thread has piqued my interest, so having
done no real GUI programming in Python, I am going to try out Kyran's
wxPython tutorial.
I recently watched a Crunchy video by following a direct link from the
Crunchy site. Because of this thread, I decided to try starting at the
top == www.showmedo.com . I felt disoriented at first because I kept
clicking on what turned out to be series boxes (on the right) and never
got to a video.
Suggestion: When I entered 'Python' in the search box, I got a page with
rectangular boxes representing paths, series, and videos. But each was
clearly labeled as such and in different colors. Extending the same to
regular pages and not just search would be helpful I think.
