Roadmaps
A roadmap is a learning path drawn as a map: the topics, milestones, tasks and projects between where you are and what you want to be able to do. You generate one, follow it node by node, and back up the important milestones with proof.
Open Learn → Roadmap AI in the sidebar. You need to be signed in.

The Roadmaps page shows totals (Roadmaps, Learners, Completed,
Public), a search box — by title, #tag or keyword, Ctrl + K
— and the same tabs as Learn AI: For You, Continue, Explore,
Most Liked, Editor Picks, Most Interacted, My Likes and
My Roadmaps. Filter by level.
Following someone else's public roadmap costs nothing.
Generate a roadmap
- Click New roadmap.
- Answer What do you want to learn? — 4 to 120 characters. Be specific: "Become a junior DevOps engineer" works better than "DevOps".
- Choose your Starting level.
- Choose Visibility: private or public. You can change it later.
- Confirm. It costs 25 Jolt.
The roadmap appears stage by stage as it is generated, so you can start reading before it finishes.
Reading the map
| Node | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topic | Something to learn |
| Milestone | A point where you should be able to do something concrete |
| Task | A specific exercise |
| Project | Something to build |
| Decision | A fork — pick the branch that suits you |
| Note | Context or advice |
| Grouped | Several related nodes together |
Nodes marked Optional can be skipped without affecting your progress.
The side panel has two tabs:
- Progress — how far you are, and your proof checkpoints.
- AI Assist — a chat that knows this roadmap. Locked until you unlock it for 25 Jolt, once per roadmap.
Proof of competence
Some checkpoints on a roadmap ask for proof: evidence that you actually did the thing, not just ticked it. This is what makes a completed roadmap mean something.
The Progress tab shows Proof of Competence — N / M checkpoints declared. Without evidence your progress stops short of 100%: the page tells you the cap ("Without evidence, progress caps at …") and how much evidence you still need.
Declare a checkpoint complete
- Click the checkpoint (Click to declare), or Add evidence.
- Attach evidence — either:
- a PDF, up to 10 MB, or
- a public URL — a repository, a deployed site, a write-up.
- Add Notes if they help the reviewer understand what you did (optional).
- Confirm that the work is your own, and submit.
You see Declaration Submitted. Platform staff review declarations; if you need to change what you sent, use Re-submit with new evidence.
A link to a public repository with a short README, or a live URL of the thing you built on your lab, is the fastest to review. A PDF works for reports and certificates.
