Some good content but very poor usability
While it has some good content, the website's usability is very poor due to it being overloaded with (low-quality) ads. I try to avoid it whenever possible and instead use other sources such as Stackoverflow and the official Spark API documentation.

Hi Andreas, Sorry for the late reply. I started this project out of passion for Apache Spark and to help the community with practical examples. As the number of users has grown, so have the costs of hosting and maintaining the site. Ads are currently what help keep the website running and freely accessible. That said, I understand your concern about usability. I do offer a minimal paid plan for users who prefer an ad-free experience, especially if you find the content valuable. I truly appreciate your feedback—it helps me improve the platform.
