My first software project – a website to set goals and track progress

Two years ago, I started building this site that allows people to document their learning and progress in real time. The idea is: as you learn new things, you document your progress piece by piece, creating a collection of failures, breakthroughs, and knowledge. Along the way, your friends can cheer you on, and the community can give you tips and feedback. Over time, we'll create a public collection on how different problems were solved. With each progress, the site prompts you to reflect on questions like, "If you could go back in time, what do you wish you had known?" This was my first web…

In plain words

This website lets people document their learning and progress in real time as they work toward goals. Users record failures, breakthroughs, and knowledge piece by piece, while friends can cheer them on and the community offers tips and feedback. The site prompts reflection after each progress update and builds a public collection of how different problems were solved. Built with Angular, Python, Postgres, and AWS, it's designed for learners who want to track their journey and learn from others' experiences.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Two years ago, I started building this site that allows people to document their learning and progress in real time. The idea is: as you learn new things, you document your progress piece by piece, creating a collection of failures, breakthroughs, and knowledge. Along the way, your friends can cheer you on, and the community can give you tips and feedback. Over time, we'll create a public collection on how different problems were solved. With each progress, the site prompts you to reflect on questions like, "If you could go back in time, what do you wish you had known?" This was my first web dev project, and everything was self-taught. It's been both a great passion and a significant learning experience! All feedback is welcome, big or small. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful. Stack: Angular, Python/Postgres, AWS, PWA service workers for notifications.
