How to add iOS Lead Essentials Program mention?

[bogdan-poplauschi-coda]

Hi guys and thanks for taking the time to create and maintain this directory, it's really useful!

I wanted to contribute by adding a mention to the iOS Lead Essentials Program by Essential Developer (you probably know about it), but I'm not sure how to fit it to the current structure:

• it's not a blog, so it shouldn't go under Blogs (unless you think it should)
• there's no Courses / Programs section, should we create one?
• other ideas ...

Not sure if this is relevant, but I did finish this program and I'm recommending it.

Thank you!

Thanks so much for the kind words and the suggestion, Bogdan!

I'm afraid sites like that don't fit well into what the directory was intended to do. It was primarily supposed to be a list of sites that were regularly publishing article content, like blogs. It did expand a bit to YouTube channels and Podcasts, but the thing all those types of sites have in common is that they all publish an RSS feed.

The feed_url is required in the JSON right now because the primary way this content is consumed is through RSS readers, and the feed link is needed for that.

It's possible that the site could be expanded to include sites that don't publish regular content that could be consumed by RSS, but that's not on the short term plan right now.

I'll close this for now, but it's definitely something I'll bear in mind for the future. Thank you!
