Lotus Path Learning Platform
An AI-powered learning platform offering custom tutorials, quizzes, and user-authenticated progress tracking.
Project Overview
An interactive web app that generates AI-written tutorials, hosts quizzes, and lets users track progress with a personalized dashboard. Built with Django, integrated with OpenAI, and deployed on Fly.io.
The Challenge
Learners often struggle to find clear, custom-tailored explanations of programming topics and have no simple way to test themselves or track their growth.
The Solution
The platform allows users to generate AI-driven tutorials on demand, take JavaScript quizzes, and store their learning history via user accounts. It's optimized for accessibility and clarity.
