I have been eyeing up https://www.waveapps.com/ as a free alternative (not open source though) but I have not seen it mentioned much in this thread so either its just less known or not very good.
For learning programming etc I have to wade through recommendations for YouTube this or some other video platform for a channel run by some learning influencer.
All the best online courses I have taken have always been text form.
The one impediment to my learning unreal engine is that every single course is video based. It makes no sense.
Video is for entertainment.
Off topic - If anyone happens to know any non video based learning for unreal engine 5 please recommend
With TS and RxJS I really like to do all the plumbing and housing a little more classically with some container classes that I call services who house and expose RxJS observables with an init() and a destroy() function where a service needs to manage its own subscriptions. So classes "services" group observables and there functionality, RxJS observables are the "plumbing" of the app, piping data around via events and then all the logic is in pure functions. I find programming like this leads to a clear data/event flow and neat seperation of concerns.
I haven’t delved into what the pricing model is but presumably it won’t be free for 1on1 use forever but I can easily see the business subscription model working perhaps well enough for individuals to have free 1on1.
Like many of us here big appreciation for the write up as opposed to video I think I got a good idea of how it worked and it’s key selling points just from the text and screenshots.
