Here is a quick Loom on how to create a scrim: https://www.loom.com/share/1f034653a1ef4e99953cf3b9a5c367ff


Wow cool! Can I use this to generate Nix lessons?

How do I start with Nix and not node.


Yes, you can! I'll record a video on how to do that with the new IDE, as it's indeed a bit unclear.


Wait a minute. It's going to be possible to create my own curses with some kind of monetization attached? And not only frontend in future? Would be amazing.


Technically, there are ways to do that, though it's not a core use-case for us, which is why we're not pushing it.

An alternative way is to embed the scrims into your own platform, and have the scrims be unlisted on Scrimba. Would that do?


Once we have our desktop app ready (very soon), it'll be possible to record any language. However, the viewer then won't get the same ability to run the code, only to edit it.

We do have rudimentary Python support with the interactivity though. Planning out a course on it these days.


Yes, we'd be happy to collaborate on creating something on Joystick. It looks like an awesome framework!


Awesome, thank you! What's a good way to get in touch?


Just send me an email at per@scrimba.com :)


We currently create the courses ourselves, but would love to see if there’s an opportunity for a collab here. Please send me an email at per@scrimba.com :)


If you make a change, then the screencast pauses and you create a branch of the codebase, so that you can experiment on your own.

Once you hit "play" again, your changes are reverted and you continue watching the teacher's code.

So the teacher's voice is never on top of your code, as that wouldn't make sense.


Would love to see tscircuit tutorials on Scrimba! It’s easy to record — just talk over the code. I demo it in this scrim from around 1:40. https://scrimba.com/s0kmcarts1

The preview is rendered live, not video. So with heavy projects (e.g. lots of JS animations), the recording can get large due to the detailed DOM stream.


Very glad to hear that! Yes, we’re working on a desktop app (currently in alpha) that lets you record Scrimba screencasts of local codebases. It’ll be perfect for onboarding, and since it runs on your own machine, it can support any language.
