What the Numbers are Telling Us
We’ve been rolling things out in a big way and in my opinion, it would be a huge fail if we didn’t use this momentum, attention and summer code partyin’ to learn something about the stuff we’ve built - specifically for me and my team, about the learning projects. Enter The Survey. We have a survey that is available upon completion of a Thimble project* that asks some pretty basic questions about level of previous experience, fun, learning and if/where people got stuck. It’s not meant to be the most robust thing ever, but instead to do some temperature gauging during this first wave of users/learners.
*Note: we have another version of the survey (duplicate except for the word “Thimble”) for the DIY projects, which are the projects that point people out to different sites or tools. But so far, there are very few reposes there (~8) so this analysis is focused on the Thimble projects.
We have almost 150 responses so far, which is way lower than the estimates of folks using Thimble so far (more in the thousands), but not a bad response rate given that the survey link is a little awkwardly presented - right under the copy-your-link-to-your-finished-project field in the ‘Publish’ flow.
