The Problem Frame

Tutorial Hell
is fractured.

Developers bounce between disparate tools: docs, code runners, LeetCode, and YouTube. Progress is lost. Momentum dies. Context switching kills learning velocity.

Technical Implementation

Engineered for
Scale & Velocity.

Next.js 15+ App Router

React Server Components for zero-JS initial payloads. Route groups separate marketing from platform. Dynamic routes with async params.

Tailwind CSS v4 + PostCSS

Custom design tokens via @theme inline. Glass morphism utility system. 12 custom keyframe animations. Noise texture and grid overlays.

Feature-Driven Design

Domain logic lives in src/features/*. Each module owns its components, engines, and providers. Route files stay thin — under 10 lines.

Modular Service Layer

Placeholder services (CompilerService, AIService) designed for drop-in replacement. Interface-first architecture for future backends.
