Hi Product Hunt 👋 Long time, no see!

Excited share Scrimba Fullstack - a learning experience that blends videos and live coding into a single tool. So no more jumping back and forth between YouTube and your code editor.


Previously, Scrimba only supported frontend frameworks (HTML, JS, React, etc.), but now we've expanded into fullstack—letting you run Node.js, execute terminal commands, build APIs, and develop real-world backends directly within the tutorials. For a quick technical demo, check this 4-min screencast: 🎬 https://scrimba.com/s0kmcarts1

We're launching with seven free courses you can enroll into right away, covering subjects like:

  • Node

  • Next

  • Express

  • SQL

  • Vite

  • Command Line

  • Supabase

... and more to come over the next few weeks.


Finally, we also provide instant AI-powered code reviews on your code, ensuring that you progress through the courses as fast as possible.

Would love to hear your thoughts! 😎

@perborgen Today's the day! So excited to see where this fullstack direction takes us! 🚀

Looking forward to starting my journey, learning with video in conjunction with IDE is an awesome experience. Congratulations to the launch team.

Wow, combining video with an IDE? That’s such a great idea!
Huge congrats on your launch, team!

Per Borgen

@kay_arkain Thanks! Surprisingly we're basically the only ones trying to combine the IDE with video. Our CTO got the idea when he wanted to teach his own programming language to other devs, and got annoyed by how regular videos reduce all the data into pixels. Much better to just have the IDE itself act as the video 👨‍💻 🎬

Super excited to learn the backend from scrimba, as soon as my frontend dev path finishes. Really a goated and well developed path and platform, which has taken me from a zero to 100 in web dev in just 2 months. Gotta love Bob, Per and Tom for doing what they do. Can't wait to learn and build more, and super excited for any more future courses that will launch. (Please drop a UI components course for Shadcn or Aceternity UI.)

Per Borgen

@apurv13 Yes, I've been thinking about creating a Shadcn course lately. Hadn't heard about Aceternity, to be honest, but it looks really slick. It'll be more likely we'll do the former first though, as we need to prioritize our limited teacher resources on courses that reach as many devs as possible.

Apurv

@perborgen Yes would love a Shadcn course from scrimba. Would really let me and others level up their landing pages and other UI components dev skills.

This interactive approach is brilliant! Does the platform track progress and offer certifications upon course completion?

Per Borgen

@desmond_ren1 Thanks a lot! Yes, we track progress (both your solved challenges and view progress), and offer certificates.

As a Scrimba frontend grad, I'm super excited to see the courses expand to include fullstack! 🥞

Scrimba's web dev and JS/React courses gave me lots of hands-on coding experience, right in the browser. Admittedly, when I left the world of scrims, I wasn't really comfortable with the terminal, Node.js, or even the full VS Code experience, and struggled to fill in that part of the picture on my own. Now, you can get that right in Scrimba, too!

I was an educator for 20 years before getting into web development, and I have to say that I was blown away by the Scrimba learning experience. I can't wait for the next generation to get to learn these concepts in such an effective and engaging way.

Congrats, Scrimba! 🥳

Per Borgen

@sarah11918 Thanks a lot, Sarah! Very proud to see one of our grads work at Astro. And yes, I agree that we were lacking content wrt to the terminal and Node, so this was a much needed upgrade. Would love to hear your feedback on the courses if you try them!

Marita Malvinsdatter Stenersen

Super excited for this 🔥

Sebastian Thunman

This is so cool! I had no idea Scrimba existed, this is obviously how coding tutorials should work! Can't wait to try it out :)

Abdellah Alaoui

@sebastian_thunman 🤯 exactly ! after spending some time on Scrimba, video tutorials feel like the stone age 😆

Arne Tonning

Congrats. Fullstack looks awesome!

Super excited for this! Scrimba has been instrumental in leveling up my full-stack engineering skills. It’s not just a seamless and amazing platform—the team behind it is equally incredible. It’s safe to say that without scrimba, i wouldn’t have done full-stack so easily.


Thank you Per and team 💜

Per Borgen

@idriss_chebak Thank you very much for the kind words, Idriss!
