Everything you need to build for real

LearnToShip combines structured project specs with AI-powered guidance to bridge the gap between tutorials and real development.

Real-World Projects

No toy examples. Build weather apps, task managers, e-commerce sites, and full-stack applications that belong in a portfolio.

Progressive Hints

Stuck? Get a nudge, a direction, or detailed guidance. Three levels of hints that teach you to think, not just copy.

AI Code Review

Submit your code and get pedagogical feedback — not just 'it works.' Understand why something is good or how to improve it.

Progressive Difficulty

Start with beginner projects and work up. Each challenge builds on skills from the last, creating real competence.

Portfolio Builder

Every completed project becomes a portfolio piece. Share a public profile with live demos and GitHub links.

Milestone Checkpoints

Each project breaks into 3-5 milestones. Stay on track and build confidence with every checkpoint you clear.

How it works

Four steps from “I finished a tutorial” to “I built this myself.”
