I've been using Python for a while now and tried to see what you website offers me, but the thing is that I couldn't find a reason to use it over stackoverflow. What is the actual benefit of using your service?

Hi @raha_golamini I am glad that you asked this question because our mission is not to compete with a multi-billion company like StackOverflow. The main benefit of using 30 seconds of code is to understand how specific functions work inside the language of your choice since we, as a community, carefully collected over 500 snippets and documented each one of them. On the other hand, StackOverflow is more like grab-and-go to all of your problems. Some of their solutions are not carefully explained, which is a problem for beginners as they copy and paste code that they don't understand. I talked about this recently at GitHub Universe so if you'd like to hear the whole story about the project you can do so:

I hope this answers your question :) Have a nice day, Stefan

Dear @stefan_fejes, The thing you said about copy and pasting the code and not understanding it is actually very true. I didn't have a background in coding and found it very hard to understand some stuff on StackOverFlow, but used it anyway because it worked! So, I am going to give your product a chance :)

This is definitely something that I was searching for, when I was learning to code in JS. Website itself looks great, also checked a mobile version in emulator, working fine --> which is always a plus. Color palette could be a bit better, but it's absolutely fine for a start, I would go with a different color for a menu and background beneath the main section. Congrats on a launch! )

I like 30 seconds because there is a good chance I will find "the right answer" to a common problem. I see that there have been other comparisons to StackOverflow already, but the challenge on StackOverflow is that any question will typically have multiple answers, and each answer will have multiple comments concerning its strengths and weaknesses. I would rather be able to grab one well thought-out solution to a problem that's part of a curated set!
