I built a free web coding curriculum for beginners and teachers

I've been building websites for over 15 years. Soon after I learned, largely from haunting w3schools, I felt strongly that a) the basics were pretty easy to learn and b) there weren't any sites that were very good at teaching it.

Most sites assume too much prior knowledge. Most try to teach you things I've never used on the job. Most assume you need to be tested or want a certificate. Most sites are either for kids or for adults, when I feel the same information can serve both.

When ChatGPT debuted it was clear to me that it was an amazing education and production assistant. And that got me inspired to build out this project. It was clear to me then that while AI could do some coding, that knowing the basics was not going to become irrelevant. Also, that AI could make a site like this more useful than ever.

So I made this happen. And I wrote a solid chunk of the content by hand. It's a curriculum of super basic summaries. Each includes a demo, a code sandbox, and a chat assistant prompted to answer questions in a helpful way.

This is a free tool with no registration and the project is not-for-profit. The best possible outcome would be just knowing people had used it to learn and teach.

I'm hoping for any input people have. I'm certainly aware that there are more lessons to include. I'm more interested in whether people think this could be a useful tool. Why or why not.
