At the end of last year, we rebranded - all our projects became part of Habr. It’s impossible not to talk about such an event, so two people took on the post-announcement at once - me and . In the end, we couldn’t decide whose post we would publish, so we posted both: и .
According to a number of metrics, my post won (), but largely due to the fact that I added a competition for the best Habr Idea to it - I had to come up with and name something that could become part of Habr (from a rational proposal of a new service to complete madness). The results are under the cut.
I don’t want to pull the cat by the tail (let him sleep), but I will say that choosing the winners from several hundred participants was very difficult. We did not look at the number of pluses, names and merits, but chose it by “gut” - first the shortlist (evaluated by 10 points), and then the winners themselves (with the highest average score).
Meet:
Habr EducationVK-user | A person chooses the skills that he wants to learn, and Habr provides him with a “curriculum”. More complex skills depend on less complex ones (you need to decompose them as much as possible). At the same time, at the lowest level there should be skills of a very basic level. All skills together form an acyclic, directed graph. Having looked at which a person immediately understands how he needs to move. For example, a person wants to learn how to program games: first, you need to make sure that he can type conventionally at normal speed, understands the basic fundamentals of programming languages, and simple design patterns. Perhaps make him first familiarize himself with creating games through some GameMaker, then more complex things. The program consists of articles, Q&A, and practical tasks. At the same time, everything is sorted by complexity and depth of study of the material. It’s also important to add some kind of game mechanics so that the user has an incentive to practice every day. And do not overload individual skills. The complexity of each skill (subject to sufficient mastery of the necessary previous ones) should be approximately the same. For a fee, you can connect to check the completion of tasks, support for instructors, and some other goodies. Or give users correctly formatted simple tasks from Freelance, provided that they complete them for free/at a low cost, and the responsibility for verification in this case falls on the customer. You can make it possible for Habr users to become instructors themselves after passing the qualification exam. Or if they confirmed their qualifications by writing an article on the topic. Those who have completed training will be given various achievements on Freelance/Habr/Career. + Give a selection of tasks/vacancies on the topic. Those who pass the task check will get slightly cooler achievements. Also slightly cooler achievements for those who met deadlines/studyed every day. It is noteworthy that the same idea himself , but he offered only a title, without a description. And where does he need a second sweatshirt? |
Children's Habr. Khabrik| Complex things in a language that children can understand. Children are an audience that is unlikely to end. And now there is little useful technical information for them. Well, except for the f*cks. |
Habr Guides - guide.habr.com| Collect all the most useful things under one roof. Habr Guides is a platform divided into 2 sections: 1) With an analysis of ready-made solutions to simple problems like “how to make adaptive layout”, as well as any non-standard difficulties, divided into areas 2) A place where you can ask any question for which there is no answer the answer is in the first section. It might be worth implementing this in the form of complementary topics, in case someone finds a more convenient or non-standard way, which can be based on newly emerging technologies or software. It would also be a good idea to sort by usefulness - of course, you can play with a snake and a calculator, but why would mere mortals need that?) |
As promised, the winners will receive our new Habr Sweatshirt (as in the picture before the kata, only without the cat). Please write in PM contact details for shipping and size.
In general, there were a lot of cool proposals, among which the topics of education were noticeably dominant (it somehow suggested itself, and we have been making plans in this direction for a long time), guides (which many people talked about one way or another), crowdfunding and data storage (hosting, GitHabr with public code review from the Habrians, Habr Code, etc.) Some ideas just barely made it into the voting. Here's what else we liked:
— Habr Quest. The idea is separate from
— Habr Store — Shop with merch, etc. (author )
— Habr Music — Collections of music for coding. It can be in different moods, for example: “When you don’t want to do anything, but you have to,” “When deadlines are pressing,” “When you need to quickly concentrate.” (author from VK)
— Ha-habr. it-humor on ha.habr.com from
— Habr Hub from и
— Habr Flea Market — sale/purchase/donation of anything within the community. Comp. hardware, gadgets and that's all. Yes, there is Avito, Yula and others like them, but I would like to buy things from passionate people with similar interests, who understand technology, treat it with respect and (I dare to hope) will not cheat on their own. I think there are quite a few of these (if not all) among the IT community.
And personally I liked this from :
