Shipped
-
Lesson search, career guide, this page
Live filter over every lesson in the sidebar, a first sketch of the career ladder, and this public build log.
-
Cisco and Security tracks: 34 lessons total
Ten new hands-on lessons in two new tracks, and an end-of-lesson quick check on every lesson, wired into the real mastery system.
-
Tech News redesigned as an editorial page
Feature story, sidebar picks, and a “how these are written” note. Every article links a primary source. Homepage got a scroll-position rail the same day.
-
Honesty pass from a design audit
The fake demo leaderboard became a real empty state, the news hub badge now matches the sourcing reality, and the subnet calculator recalculates as you type.
-
A terminal in the hero
The homepage illustration was replaced with a typeable demo shell (ping, traceroute, nslookup) plus W3Schools-style command exercises in practice.
-
24 standalone lessons, 4 live tools, a practice system
Learn split into per-topic pages; DNS/WHOIS, ASN and MAC lookups went live-API; drills, quizzes, challenges and problems launched with spaced repetition, streaks and mastery.
-
The light prototype launched
Design tokens with documented contrast ratios, the first ten pages, and a working subnet calculator. Everything since builds on this foundation.
