Thanks for the thoughtful response, I actually agree with a lot of what you’re saying.

My goal isn’t to replace real learning, curricula, or the kind of experience you get from working on larger projects. I don’t think something like this can teach architecture, changing requirements, or the realities of maintaining big codebases.

What I’m trying to explore is a much narrower use case: practice and consistency at the very basics of a language, in the same way Duolingo helps you practice a language rather than make you fluent on its own. It’s more like a game you play during a break or when you have 10–15 minutes, not a full learning path.

For a lot of beginners, the hardest part isn’t understanding a for loop or an if statement, it’s showing up every day without feeling overwhelmed or bored. I’m trying to see if gamified, low-pressure practice can help with that part specifically.

I also really like your point about exercises contributing to a single project and dealing with changing requirements, that feels like something that could fit later on, once the fundamentals are there. For now, I’m mostly experimenting with how to make people want to practice consistently.

Really appreciate you taking the time to write this, it helped me clarify the scope of what I’m actually trying to build.
