Ideas come to my mind about Treehouse.
What do we have?
Lots of video about programming but not everything is covered. For example, it's impossible to cover all basic API functions it's expensive, every video costs money.
You can make a structured content tailroed to the user knowledge.
- Questions about what user already know.
- Based on knowledge Treehouse gives a content from the official documentation about what's missing in student knowledge.
To do that:
- You need to structure official documentation.
- Create a script that feeds particular part of missing knowledge.
So, happy user receives what he needs.
You can even charge additional money for that.
I mentioned it before but not on this particular situation.
We can create custom made courses for the user. It's a complex system and requires some magic understanding but we can ask about what user eat and based on that imply what might be a problem while studying a programming.
For example, based on the scratches on the car I can forecast situations when a particular behaviour might lead to the car accident with this particular driver. Scratch on the right mirror means that user have problems with attention on the right side. So, I pass him on the right side very quickly.
I used to specialize in third tier equities in Russia. Small companies not traded on the exchange but owned by people. I analyzed acompany, check whether it's offcially showing the net income or CEO puts everything in his pocket. Sometimes, I had only Sales, Net Income and article with photo of a CEO. And it was enough to make profitable deals. By implying we can do many things.
This magic works!

34,475 PointsYet another idea come to my mind. Official documentation is often written in a non-human language. Not often we can see examples. What if Treehouse create a documentation that is written in a normal language with examples and interactive examples. Even MDN is sometimes hard to read.
What is the plus? People would pay for subscription even if they finish all courses. They've got used reading the Treehouse documentation. Of course Treehouse should bundle them and in lessons point out on Treeehouse documentation.
PS: I am just a middle user trying to help himself in a wild world of programming and help growth very promissing project to the top of internet pyramid.

33 PointsYou will also need to make sure the value is unique (shouldn’t be an issue if you enforce unique user names but if it’s possible for multiple people to use the same username then you’ll have to check for this) so you will need to check against your user database to see if that slug is already in use and if it is then append it with a number also the best way to built the car accident sutiation in the game is to speak with the people that have already been right there that is why the best way will be consulting with car accident lawyer https://www.wesettle.com/

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 17,939 PointsExactly the content we need! I would contact the support if I were you, perhaps they will look into it! You got my support on this.
Sometimes I feel like that Treehouse does provide consistent information about the language or the topic but gives no real life example on how to implement the knowledge you have received. I realize its their 'strategy' or business model to make the learning curve as easy as possible and user friendly but sometimes I wish they could go more in depth in certain topics. Recently they've added the Xamarin course, and since I am developing into Xamarin on my internship, I thought yes, finally a course that supports my learning needs but I got disappointed they didn't cover Xamarin Forms or cross platform development, which in my opinion is more in depth and harder to learn and is challenging for developers who want to make great apps for all platforms, and don't take me wrong here Treehouse has great courses on app development. f.e. the Android or Swift one, but not for cross platform development where topics like what is the difference between a PCL or native project is explained or what the benefits of 80% shared code are and that only 20% of the development scenario consists of native code, etc.
But based on your topic, yes I'd say this is exactly what Treehouse is missing. Something like a pre-check of what knowledge you already have instead of going through all the courses to only find out you already know this
