Ideas
Learn to code by building something you want
Twenty ideas, each read by the studio as a project of yours would be. Every page shows what the first version keeps and leaves out, the path the studio planned step by step, what it teaches, and the first things each step is checked on.
Pick one to see its path, or bring your own: the studio plans from whatever you write.
