I was skeptical about this design at first but now I'm totally accustomed to it I must say it is a really good work. Simple functional and elegant. Well done @JeffreyWay :)

In new design, how can I inform that someone is spamming?

First of all, the new design is great. But, the total space occupied by the video screen is very little when compared to the other elements on the page. I am not sure how to attach an SS. But here is a sample link https://laracasts.com/series/simple-rules-for-simpler-code/episodes/4 Here, on this page, the space occupied by the video is very little compared to the other elements. I know that there is a full-screen feature, but sometimes ( for whatever reasons ), I prefer viewing the video in its default resolution. I like the way youtube gives us a choice to opt for an in-between resolution

just noticed the new podcast section. Well done, will come in handy. Also I noticed the podcasts are getting longer :D

btw @JeffreyWay, will you start the sale at midnight or can I just go to bed? The suspense is killing me since you posted the podcast.

Hi @JeffreyWay,

can you consider showing the publication date for every Laracast Snippet?

Great work by the way!

Cheers

Like it, awesome design!

@JeffreyWay I think I found two little bugs in small screen, see the attachments:

the login page is too wide (cannot zoom out more than this), is very difficult (sometimes impossible) scroll inside a modal to click the buttons (the modal in the picture for example, was impossible to close)

I'm on iPhone 5 btw

Anyway, great work!

The overall design is great, but I find the increased size frustrating. It's difficult to get an overview of the lessons (catalog).

Congratulation ! Great Work ! There is a problem when I go to Catalog and filter by Incomplete the result is Watched !

Just wanted to drop a line and say that I love the new design!

The new site looks great! something that does bother me though is that the text inside the episode number is not centered:

A quick fix I tried in chrome dev tools:

span.position {
    line-height: 2.7em;
}

Update: this is without the web font i.e. using Helvetica Neue

@JeffreyWay don't you think the series episode would look better if it was like

demo.png

or even remove the whole gray background of the item all together

Hi, @JeffreyWay , I notice that sometimes the series status don't update while new episodes were added.

Thanks

I may be 11 months late, but still even today laracasts' refresh is still so awesome. Very clean, neat and elegant in design. Very good UX everything is so easy on the eyes, love the way and how fast and smooth the homepage loads even if it has lots of content. Fist paint is under >400ms and has good content. Just perfect! kudos to @JeffreyWay

Looks good. I like some of the nav improvements.

However, episode lists are very long (no more list on a single page), no label identifying FREE episodes (only find out after you try to start), lots and lots of scrolling (developing strong middle finger).

Hello Jeffrey...

I LOVE the new futuristic design...

BUT ;) because there's always a BUT, i miss one "small" feature of the previous design...

On the series list, after you login, you can check what percentage of the serie you already did...

BUT (oh my god, two but's in the same post) on the new design that indicator it's only visible after you enter the serie itself.

Was this intentional or an oversight?

Please do keep up the good work!!!

HTML in the 'title' attribute doesn't display properly, it seems to be undergoing a double round of encoding? Perhaps both when storing and retrieving?

My post over here (https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/eloquent/sync-with-additional-values-cant-wrap-my-brain-around-it) has the following HTML (I'll just post an image as formatting that in this post would get confusing): https://puu.sh/C9O0F/d72c54ad40.png

Notice the & sign being encoded whilst it's supposed to be part of the greater than symbol.

Hi @jeffreyway, Very nice website, thanks for all the awesome content. There is a little annoying UI bug on the user dashboard, when I hover over the level icons the text is getting cut at the edges of the screen (I'm using a laptop), I would of post you an image but I don't see there is an option for that.

In addition, it will be really nice if you can add a way to filter all the free stuff you have, or maybe there is and I didn't discover it..
