Congrats on the launch! I've been using CodeCrafters for a year now and am a huge fan of the product. One problem I had was finding proper documentation/guidance for when I got blocked. Beyond the Discord are there any plans to unblock users?

Thank you for your kind words!

Until a few months back, we were focused solely on the "challenge" aspect of the product. Based on customer feedback, we've been making new features available that offer more guidance when you're stuck — a 2min preview is available on this demo video — https://codecrafters.io/videos/demo.

1. We show you expert-vetted code approaches for different languages in each stage, and also explain the interesting / difficult parts in the approach.

2. For further inspiration & knowledge, we now also include source walkthroughs for many of the stages, which link to how the official implementation does it. Here's one for Redis, which explains how the PING command is implemented (stage 2 of Redis). https://app.codecrafters.io/walkthroughs/redis-ping-command

A little micro-suggestion on videos: record the narration separately from actually doing the computer work. I.e., do NOT record the keyboard clacking. It's super annoying to some people. Like me. Thanks.

Thanks so much for flagging! Sorry the keyboard sounds were annoying — I almost thought that was the highlight of the video :)

Lots to improve on the videos front - thanks for the suggestion!

That look's perfect, great job!
