Pybites Platform

I came through the Humble Bundle, will my Bite Tokens transfer to the new platform?

Yes.

I have an existing Newbie Licence, will that be transferred to the new platform?

Yes.

Can I login to the new platform using my existing credentials?

Yes. When you login for the first time to the new platform, all of your data from the old platform will be automatically transferred over. Your account on the old platform will then be locked and retired.

Can I use the old platform after signing into the new platform with my existing credentials?

No. Once you login to the new platform your account on the old platform will be locked and retired.

2.0 seems much faster than the old platform?

There are a couple of things we think have given this platform a nice performance boost compared to v1, check out Bob's LinkedIn post

Do I have to use the new platform? Can I just stay using the old one?

No. The old platform will be made read only and officially retired by the end of 2024 (date TBA).

Will my progress be moved to the new platform?

Yes! Bite completion progress and points will be moved to the new platform.

What information exactly will be transferred over to the new platform?

Quite a bit:
Username
Email
Password
Bite Progress
Bite Points
Bite tokens (called credits here) and redeemed Bite exercises
Newbie Bite access (if previously purchased or granted)

I'm currently subscribed to the existing platform, will my subscription automatically move across to the new platform?

What do I do if I'm an existing subscriber?

Your subscription on the old payment platform, Gumroad, will be cancelled. You'll need to resubscribe to Pybites Platform 2.0 via the Pricing page.

What if I have an annual subscription to the existing platform?

Due to the price change with Pybites Platform 2.0, we can't in good conscience just move your subscription over. We'll be refunding the difference on your subscription and ask that you resubscribe to the new platform.

When you say you offer "parity pricing" on Pybites Platform 2.0, what do you mean?

In our case parity pricing refers to adjusting our subscription fee based on the purchasing power of different countries. This ensures that the price of the subscription is fair and accessible to users worldwide by considering the varying economic conditions.

What does parity pricing mean for me?

It means that the price you see when you look at our pricing page, and the Stripe checkout page, is a price that is relative to the average cost of living in your country, making it as affordable as possible. This is in contrast to our previous model of charging everyone in USD.

What if my currency isn't available?

If your currency isn't supported, you'll see the price in USD, relative to your country's economic state. Please reach out to us at support@pybit.es if you have any queries so we can work with you on this.

Are the exercises the same between the old and new platforms?

Yes, almost. At the time of launch 419 out of 429 exercises from the old platform are working. There are a few exercises that were obsolete and that weren't able to be ported over to the latest version of Python. These have been retired. We will keep adding new ones of course.

What version of Python are your exercises run and tested on?

Python 3.12 (on the old platform we were using 3.10 and 3.7 for the pytest Bites)

What’s the difference between the bite exercise types? Newbies, Intro, Regular… what?

Why the new coding platform anyway?

Are there any features that didn’t come across from the old platform to the new one?

Are there any features that may come back?

Are there still features in production? What’s coming next?

My question isn’t answered here… what now?

How is the Pybites Platform different from Leetcode, Hackerrank and other similar platforms?

The Pybites Platform focuses more on "real world", practical Python-based challenges. Using our platform will help you learn libraries, modules and mechanisms you won't be exposed to on other platforms. The other platforms tend to focus on algorithmic exercises. We believe there's more to being a competent and successful developer than "just" knowing algorithms which is what makes our exercises so engaging and addictive. Expect to be challenged and learn things you will actually use every day as a developer!
