I really love [https://discuss.codecademy.com/](https://discuss.codecademy.com/)

Our site is at [https://community.tillerhq.com/](https://community.tillerhq.com/)

We build product and experience loosely using Jobs to Be Done (as progress) model.

I think Code Academy gets at this. What is the member trying to do when they reach the site to ultimately improve their current situation? We’re also trying to achieve this and simplify.

I’d love to experiment with a format more like what’s on the Code Academy site, but don’t want to be disruptive to our members by experimenting on the live site. Is there a way to “preview” changes that affect layout?

I’ve also noticed that some minor formatting/aesthetic changes cause some issues with the TOC plugin we’re using I believe mostly due to latency (it takes a minute to catch up and reload properly after changes?) so we haven’t done much fine tuning as we rely on that feature heavily for our docs.

Also, if anyone has feedback on our site’s layout/organization that’d also be awesome. It’s helpful to get fresh eyes!

Thanks for a great product @sam @codinghorror 🙂 🎅 🎄
