Decimis † 𝕯𝖊𝖈𝖎𝖒𝖎𝖘 I first checked out this app in mid 2015 and used it for about 4 months before deleting it and reinstalling it again in mid 2018. In 2015, when SL was in its infancy, there was no community, no challenges, no code playground and no q&a section although there was a leaderboard. The tutorials included 5 or 6 programming languages, MS Excel, Photography, Christmas Photography and Makeup! Yes it was not just a programming app then. The photography and makeup tutorials had the most videos. However, I remember the Java tutorial having a couple of beginner Java programming videos from YouTube embedded in it. Times have changed. I don't exactly know when they changed this to a programming only app but it would have been in the 3 years I was away from Sololearn.

Sonic OG is also used as a slang term for pioneers or old members of a faction, group, or society, etcetera. Basically, anyone who has been around for a long time and seen the changes, basically. It's what we'd say decades back about anyone who was a senior member (and still do).
I can vouch for what you say because I was around back then as well. Back when the lessons were separated into different apps. I had an entire folder (still on my old phone) for those apps. I used to watch those tutorials as well. They were choppy and laggy.
If you can remember that far back, you are definitely a SoloLearn OG.

Sonic Wow so Sololearn was not a learn to code app back then? Can't imagine it.

You search in Google , there are a lot of resources here.

David Carroll OMG! or should I say Oh Jee! When I looked up OG, it said something about being authentic (like hiding behind an avatar?), old school (maybe) and incredibly exceptional (naaahh!). But OG is a term reserved for Original Gangsters like Michael Jordan and maybe even Katie Ledecky. I think it would be a mistake to place 'people' like 'Sonic the Hedgehog' in the same league. Now if you had said that about Bugs Bunny, I probably would have agreed 😀. Thanks anyway!!

Sonic Wow... I just learned something new about SoloLearn. Thanks for sharing that history. 👌
Also, it sounds like you might actually be a true SoloLearn O.G. 😉

David Carroll haha, all good.
⚡Prometheus ⚡ back then, I was looking for a mobile IDE. So I'd do searches for "CodeBlocks app" etcetera. Eventually, I came across things like "CppDroid -C/C++" but SoloLearn would pop as "Learn ____" apps like "Learn C++" and "Learn HTML".
CppDroid was very buggy and it would crash all the time. Code playground on SoloLearn didn't exist as a free range IDE. It was very limited to the lessons.
It wasn't until maybe two or three years ago that I came back to it because they would have small updates every now and then, and also add more lessons. I started checking them out. At the end of one of the lessons they asked if I wanted to join their new app called "SoloLearn".
Back then I was thinking, "Yikes, another app" because I already had about 8 of them. However it said that it combined the others.
I never used the other apps outside of the coding ones, and apparently no one else did either. When I logged in they combined the progress of the other apps and put them on here.

Over the years I came back every now and then to check on the updates. The transformation was huge, so they must have had a major success. I couldn't believe they actually had a full-blown social community for coding.
One of the major updates when all of the lessons were separate apps was adding a mini chat forum. That must have been the motivation to the changes.
I don't know when they got rid of the videos but it was definitely years ago. As far as their content, they were a classroom setting style, but every now and then you would get off brand videos that had PowerPoint'ish approaches. I can only imagine that they got rid of the videos mainly because of the "do-it-yourself approach" with the development of "code playground".
At some point they added an experience points system, an achievement/merit system (the badges), and posting system.
Throughout my history here, I'd jump on, meet a few good folks like yourselves, and then more or less disappear, come back and see new developments.
