No daily life replenishment The app started out great, it was quirky, fun, and intuitive. I was planning on using this daily. About the 2nd or 3rd day I got a few questions wrong, and eventually spent my daily lives limit. Came back the next day enthusiastic and the lives never replenished! I figured it was a glitch. 3rd day, same result, no more lives. I waited a week and still nothing. So I uninstalled the app

JetBrains IDE integration What I really like of Hyperskill is the integration with JetBrains IDE. A learning tool that integrates and gives an opportunity to get to know our IDE better (key shortcuts, preference changes, tabs etc.). When I got my PHPStorm company licence it wasn't hard to work with because I use some IDEs since 90s but still. There's a lot new options that JetBrains Academy plugin and Hyperskill help to learn. Only one thing I miss on the Hyperskill page is to have two study plans opened. Or easier way to jump from study plans like I want to learn C++ from the beginning and develop my SQL skills. Great work Hyperskill Team!

General impression Java basics I have chosen the learning approach without a fee in order to find out whether the form, style of educating programming topics suites me in general. I must say yes. I can recommend the form, the style. The Java basics are tought well. Also the exercises that follow chapters of theory in order to repeat the topic are designed very well as tasks of different difficulty are provided to get accomplished. Also a link in the excercises back to theory concerned is offered. A few times it appears that theory linked to support the solution doesn't stick to the task. This can be solved by reviewing the theory sections. As it doesn't take too much time I feel this is okay.

Well motivating platform for a… Well motivating platform for a beginner. Not push too much and free users also can be benefited by Hyperskill.

I so far found it a great platform I recently came across the platform by way of a web search on a technical subject; I decided to read on and explore the site. I'm currently a non-paying member enrolled in the data science study plan. I find the project- (portfolio-) based training constructive as well as the grouping of topics towards a given domain, e.g. data science. I already have a background in Engineering and found the topic coverage suitable and looking forward to complete a project; I will likely become a paying member.
