Improvements to the code or the site are also appreciated. Some ideas:

  • Add rake task to generate new posts
  • Add javascript filtering by free/not free, level, instruction
  • Clean up the javascript so you can link to specific selections

Disclaimer

Tragically, I haven't had time (or money) to try all of these resources - I'm relying on impressions and descriptions for some of them. If you feel the level is inaccurate, or the description is misleading, or you just don't like it - feel free to change it and send me a pull request! I'd greatly appreciate it.

Many of the descriptions are taken directly from the resource's site, I mean no copyright infringement by this.
