Am I the only one who feels the site is sort of an organizational mess?

I used to be able to easily parse what options there were... e.g., the "Build a Ruby on Rails Social App" had three full sections which had a sense of progress and worked on the same project. Now I have to hunt the down and looking at the UI, have to do extra investigation to make sure they're the courses I want.

The UI is pretty, but it comes at a price. My sense of progression is definitely one thing that comes to mind particularly with the Library page. The tracks page doesn't really interest me very much.

Without looking at tracks, you pretty much have to go with which courses are for beginners in the areas that interest you. Also I agree that when you get to the next level up, it's hard to tell whether that is advanced or intermediate as both imply a step up. But with as a newer user I would recommend at least looking at the tracks to get a feel of the flow and pick your courses.

I think it's something I've slowly noticed as the amount of content has increased over time.
There just seems to be a lot more scrolling these days to find what you want :)

It's a price we pay though for so much good content, until it's improved I guess.

Hi Tyler Schuett,

We agree with you! We're working on some big changes to the Library and Tracks page to help students discover content suited to their skill level. There's getting to be so many Courses on here that we need to make some changes!

Thanks for the feedback and stay tuned.
