#173 - Pybites Platform 2.0 is here!

Pybites Podcast

Welcome back to the Pybites podcast! Today we have some really exciting news: we’ve just launched our brand-new coding platform!
Check it out here.
After nearly 7 years and almost 50K sign-ups on v1 (codechalleng.es), the design started to show its age. That’s why we did a complete overhaul to create our new 2.0 platform. It's faster, cleaner, more responsive, and more affordable.
In this episode, Bob and Julian discuss why v2 is such a big improvement, the motivation behind the rewrite, behind-the-scenes insights into how it all came together, some technical challenges we faced, and one of our most exciting new features: parity pricing (pricing in your local currency based on where you live).
Enjoy, and we hope to see you coding more Python with us on the new platform!
