Welcome to Kodeco! As we transition from RayWenderlich, you will probably find some quirks and features that arenāt working right. Please comment on those below, so that the right people can take care of them. Thanks!
Profile photo doesnāt render on top right menu, nor Activity list:
Issues
- None of the dismiss buttons seems to work for me (
xon a modal or banner). Tested on theRead the full storybanner and bottom-right modal. I had to navigate to associated media for them to disappear. Tested on both Safari and Firefox. - If I login to another browser and navigate to a book Iām currently reading, it will clear the read status (which chapters Iāve read) of the book on the original browser.
- Tapping on the Light-mode for the code blocks in books doesnāt do anything.
Suggestions
- A detailed sidebar table of contents for books. Itās hard to navigate the page without one. This feature existed on raywenderlich.com
- If I dismiss the contents sidebar, there is a lot of wasted space that has a show contents button

FYI, the customize options for books donāt do anything. The text size only affects list items. Also, the TOC has no indication to what page youāre on.
I was hopeful that āclassicā mode would bring back the old design.
Bit of an aside, but raywenderlich.com was one of the most pleasant reading experiences around, and one of the big things that drew me to diving into Real-World Flutter. It just felt good to read on desktop and my iPad - almost as pleasant as a real book, which is rare.
Not saying this just to be negative, as Iām sure there has been a huge effort behind this rebranding, but for me, personally, the new design is just painful to look at across the board. Aside from many small issues Iām seeing everywhere (menus sticking, borders improperly rendering, lots of font mismatches, awkward browsing experience, navigation items floating outside containers), the design at large just feels unbalanced and unpolished. Iām probably too sensitive to UX, but I donāt even know if I can continue with the book.
raywenderlich.com will be missed.
Am I missing the dark mode toggle or is there not one?
From what I understand, dark mode is still being worked on.
Doh! Not what I was hoping to hear but thank you for the info. Guess Iāll have to wear sunglasses until they get it implemented. 
Very sorry about the issues you are experiencing ā we are still working on improvements and bug fixes on the book reading experience (and other places, as you point out) ā itāll hopefully be back to its former (but new) delightful self soon.
(although, Iām sorry to say āClassicā will not bring back the raywenderlich style.)
My suggestions in the process of using the new UI:
- The red part I think should be fixed when user scroll down. Because of these features I use quite a lot in the process of learning
- The blue part allows the user to scroll down
- Dark mode is necessary in our world
- At home page should show which ebooks or videos the user is regularly accessing (like a quick access feature)
- In addition, if you want to close this pop-up, you have to scroll to the top and turn it off. Why donāt we fixed the Close button on top ?
Hope someone else has the same idea as me

Thanks so much for taking the time to write out and illustrate the issues you are having, and sorry you are experiencing them.
Some of these issues are already being worked on, and should be fixed soon.
Could you elaborate on your 4th point ā the home page already includes books, videos and learning paths youāve last interacted with ā how would your proposed quick access feature differ from that?

Hi @jellodiil
At 4th) [Example for my case] Iām reading the book Combine: Asynchronous Programming with Swift
but you can see my home page doesnāt show it. Or I need to enable the āRecentlyā feature somewhere?
I see where you are coming from now.
Iāll log this request!

Privacy settings arenāt selectable in Firefox on macOS. On https://accounts.kodeco.com/privacy, the choices are āHelp make kodeco betterā¦ā and āRestrict usage trackingā. When I load the page, neither option is drawn as selected and neither option is selectable ā click on either one in Firefox/macOS and nothing happens. In Chrome and Safari on MacOS selecting one or the other works as expected. Iām on macOS 12.6.1, latest versions of Safari, Firefox, Chrome.
By the way, one odd (broken) behavior that Iām pretty sure also existed on raywenderlich.com privacy settings page is that a first-load of the privacy settings page shows neither option as selected. If a user never selects either option, which is in effect? Is it tracking or restricting tracking? Itās got to be one or the other, right? I assume itās tracking but neither is rendered on first load.
Thank you!
Thank you for reporting, and thank you for checking in multiple browsers.
Tracking is indeed the default, and should indicate as such.
Will get both issues looked at as soon as possible.
Hello @jellodiil ,
The code copy block seems have a very large border insets which overlaps the inner content:
Thanks, there seems to be some missing images in the WatchOS with with SwiftUI by Tutorials book. I reported this here: Missing image in Chapter 1+
Let me know if you want more info.
Thank you for reporting this! Weāll get on it!
Thanks for reporting ā these should now be fixed!
Sorry about that.
