August 2026Platform
Back to a pure static site
We removed the entire backend. The Academy is now plain Markdown, prerendered and served from GitHub Pages — faster, simpler, and with nothing to sign into.
- Accounts, progress tracking, graded quizzes, comments, feedback, the guestbook, and certificates have all been retired
- No database and no analytics of your learning — every lesson is open to read with no sign-up
- Every page is prerendered at build time, so the site loads as fast as static HTML can
- Moved hosting from Vercel to GitHub Pages, deployed by GitHub Actions on every push
- The old data model is documented in dbms.md in the repository, for anyone curious
July 2026Community
Resource voting & leaderboard
The Resources page grew a community layer — vote for what helped you and see what rises to the top.
- Upvote any community resource (one vote per member) with a live count
- Switch between the list view and a votes-based leaderboard, filterable by type
- Every submission credits the member who shared it, with an optional LinkedIn link
- Two-column feedback & guestbook, plus a full admin data manager for every table
July 2026Curriculum
Video-led Foundations track
We rebuilt the curriculum around short, focused video clips paired with hands-on steps.
- CRM Analytics Foundations + Setup & User Provisioning, taught with clip-based lessons
- A fully custom video player — no YouTube branding, smooth play, and a “lesson complete” screen
- Interactive lesson steps, cards, and links; interview-question study sheets per section
- Members-only lessons with a soft sign-in gate
July 2026Exams
Secure exams & certificates
Graded, tamper-resistant exams that actually gate progress — and a certificate when you finish.
- Server-side grading — answers are never sent to the browser
- A rotating question set per attempt (7 drawn from a larger pool), 85% to pass
- Per-skill performance breakdown on the results screen
- Shareable, downloadable certificate once every track is complete with a 75%+ average
July 2026Members
Learner dashboard & accounts
Sign in with Google and track everything in one place.
- Google sign-in, member profiles, and a personal dashboard
- Progress-by-section rings, a skills chart, and average score at a glance

July 2026Platform
Installable app, analytics & polish
The site became installable, measurable, and a lot more playful.
- Installable PWA with a service worker and offline support
- Analytics wired up: Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Vercel Analytics
- Refreshed theme (Space Grotesk + Plus Jakarta Sans), custom favicon, and breadcrumbs
- Guestbook with drawings, and a feedback inbox with threaded replies
