Learning
How long does a lesson take?
Lessons are intentionally short. Most are designed for a focused daily practice session that can fit into a busy schedule.
Learning
Which skills can I learn?
The catalog covers AI engineering, prompt engineering, AI agents, JavaScript, Python, React, TypeScript, APIs, databases, design thinking, communication, and career skills.
Learning
Do I need prior coding experience?
No. Beginner skills start with fundamentals, while intermediate and advanced skills are clearly labeled so you can choose the right level.
Learning
Can I learn on mobile?
Yes. The core learning flows are browser-based and responsive, so you can review lessons and progress from a phone, tablet, or desktop.
Progress
How does XP work?
XP is awarded as you complete lessons and challenges. It contributes to your level, progress state, and leaderboard ranking.
Progress
What are badges?
Badges mark learning milestones such as lesson completion, level progress, streaks, and broader course achievements.
Progress
Is my progress saved?
Signed-in learners can sync progress to their account. Signed-out learners can still practice, but account sync requires sign-in.
Progress
Can I restart a skill?
You can revisit any available skill and repeat lessons for practice. Saved progress remains tied to your account.
Certificates
Do completed skills include certificates?
Eligible completed skills can produce shareable certificates. Some branded pack flows issue a final pack certificate instead of one certificate per skill.
Certificates
Are certificates publicly shareable?
Yes. Certificate pages are designed to be shareable, with public verification details when the certificate has been saved or verified.
Certificates
What does Polygon verification mean?
Polygon verification means a certificate or achievement has supporting blockchain metadata for public read-back. If blockchain services are unavailable, the app shows a retry-safe state.
Account
Do I need an account?
You can browse public learning pages without an account, but sign-in is required for saved progress, rewards, certificates, and profile features.
Account
What happens if sign-in fails?
The app should show a recoverable sign-in state. Retry sign-in after checking your browser session and network connection.
Support
How do I contact support?
Use the support page linked in the site footer. The active brand routes support requests to the correct brand contact.
Support
Where can I report a certificate issue?
Use support and include the certificate ID, skill name, account email, and the exact issue you see on the certificate page.
Platform
Is the content only for developers?
No. The catalog includes technical skills and non-technical skills such as design thinking, personal finance, storytelling, project management, negotiation, and content strategy.
Platform
How are skills ordered in the catalog?
The catalog is sorted from the latest updated skills first, with visible filters for level and popularity.
Platform
Does the app work for hackathon preparation?
Yes. Hackathon-focused tracks combine short lessons, practice, and certificate-ready progress for teams preparing to ship a project.
Platform
Can schools or communities use it?
Yes. The platform is structured around short repeatable lessons, making it suitable for cohorts, clubs, hackathons, and self-paced communities.
Hackathon Packs
Is this a one-time payment?
Yes. Hackathon Packs are a single one-time purchase — no subscription, no auto-renewal. You keep access to your track for the full hackathon window.
Hackathon Packs
Do I need to attend a hackathon to benefit?
No. The 14-day track stands on its own as hackathon prep. The co-branded certificate and hackathon perks are a bonus if you do compete.
Hackathon Packs
What's the difference between the tiers?
Hacker gives you the 14-day prep track and certificate. Champion adds Mahesh Chand's full Winning Strategy video series. Founder remains a teaser tier for future concierge-style add-ons.
Hackathon Packs
Can I upgrade later?
Reach out from your profile and we'll credit what you've already paid toward a higher tier while your hackathon access is active.
Pro
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel in a couple of taps from your profile — you keep Pro until the end of the period you've already paid for.
Pro
What happens to my progress if I cancel?
Everything you've earned stays. Your XP, streaks, badges, and certificates are yours to keep on the free plan.
Pro
Monthly or yearly — which should I pick?
Yearly works out to about ₹58/month, the best value if you're committing to the habit. Monthly is the flexible way to try Pro first.
