The latest changes and improvements, newest first.

The Android app is out. It's the same site with your progress synced, opens from your app drawer without browser chrome, and Chrome will now offer it when you visit on an Android phone. iPhone users can still add it to the home screen from Safari. Both routes are on the Get the app page.

Every article row on a course page now has a small tri-state box: empty, a dash for learning, a tick for completed. Press ↓ and ↑ to move between rows, m or space to mark one, Enter to open it, e to edit it and h to hide it. s adds the switch version of a trick under it, or on calisthenics shows your last few logged reps. On an article, m cycles your mark and e opens the editor. The ⌘K switcher runs page actions too, not just navigation. Press ? anywhere for the full list.

If you are partway through a course, the homepage now opens with "Your progress in" that course: a bar for what is done and what is in progress, each chapter linked straight to its place on the course page, and one button that drops you back on the skill you were working on. New here? You still get the tour.
2026-09-09
There is finally a page that says what this place is for and how it is meant to stay: courses written and improved by the people who use them, content free forever, no streaks, badges or nagging. Read it at About, linked from the footer. The FAQ got a refresh at the same time, with new answers on the app, taking a course offline, and how to make your first edit.
2026-09-09
A course's Discussion button now shows "N new" for anything posted since you last looked, across the course thread and every article thread. The discussion page merges them into one feed, each thread in its own card and article comments labelled with where they came from. Long threads fold: click the line beside a reply chain to collapse it into "Show N replies". Times read "5 minutes ago" instead of a date, with the exact date on hover.

The site lost its banners, taglines, gradients and most of its boxes. What is left is type, whitespace, one card surface and two colours that mean something: green for done, amber for learning. Under the hood it is faster too - the font is served from our own servers, the hero no longer jumps while it loads, and the account menu and quick switcher use the browser's own popover and dialog so Escape and click-outside just work.
2026-09-06
The three advice boxes under the editor - link check, lint, suggested links - are one Checks panel now, problems first. Building a header clip from a YouTube link shows a running count of seconds, names the actual cause if it fails (private, age-restricted, rate-limited and so on) and offers a retry; you can minimise it to a corner chip and keep writing. And a proposed new article now previews at the exact slot in the chapter where it will land.
2026-09-04
Signed-in newcomers get a short checklist on the homepage: mark a skill as learning, complete one, vote on a comment, review a suggested edit, suggest one yourself. Each step ticks itself the first time you do it and stays ticked. We also stopped saying "enroll": marking any article adds its course to your list, and the old "Delete my progress" is now a plainer "Leave course".
2026-09-02
Every chapter on a course page can be folded shut from its header, so you can tuck away the levels behind you and the ones you are not ready for. What you fold is remembered per course, and a folded chapter still opens when a link or a tag filter points into it. Each chapter header also carries its own small progress bar, green for completed and amber for in progress, matching the big one at the top.
2026-08-30
Every article now carries tags - carving, obstacles, static, the body part trained. A Filter button on the course page lists the tags in use; pick one and the list narrows to matching skills, chapters and all, while your progress bar stays put. Tags show as chips on each row and on the article itself, where they link back to the filtered list. Writing or editing an article? There is a Tags field with the course's existing tags one click away.
2026-08-12
Landing a trick regular and landing it switch are two different victories, and now they count as two. Snowboard tricks that can be ridden switch have a toggle on their article page - flip it and the switch version joins your course list as its own entry, with its own learning and completed status, counting toward your totals. If you don't ride switch, nothing changes until you opt in.
2026-08-11
Calisthenics keeps score now. Every skill measured in reps or seconds - push-ups, plank, and the rest - has a small progress log on its article: pick a date, type a number, hit Log. One entry per day (logging again overwrites it), and any entry can be edited or deleted later. Come back in a month and watch how far the numbers have climbed.
2026-08-08
Search got a whole lot faster. Press ⌘K (or Ctrl K) anywhere - or tap the search icon - and a quick switcher pops up that jumps straight to any course, article, or page as you type. Highlight a course you're enrolled in and press Tab to search only inside that course. Course pages got friendlier too: chapters no longer collapse, and opening a course scrolls you right to the skill you're currently working on.
2026-07-03
The jargon finally has a home. Each course now has its own glossary that gathers the terms it uses - carve, switch, negative - with a short definition for each. Articles can link straight to a term, so an unfamiliar word is only a tap away from its meaning. Spot one that's missing or off? You can suggest an edit to the glossary just like any other article.
2026-07-03
Writing or editing an article just got easier to connect up. As you type, a panel spots where you've mentioned another article in the course - or a glossary term - without linking it, and offers a one-click "Insert link" to wire it up in place. It also nudges you about prereqs you haven't linked yet, so lessons stay stitched together.
2026-06-05
Any course can now leave the browser. Open a course page, find "Read it as a book," and download the complete course - every chapter, its description and images - as a PDF to read anywhere or an EPUB for your e-reader or Kindle.
2026-06-04
Fixing an article no longer means hunting for the edit button. Every paragraph now has its own little pencil - hover it (it's already faintly visible on touch screens) and click to edit that text right where you read it. Tweak the wording, hit "Submit fix," and it goes through the same community review as any other edit.
2026-05-31
Articles that were just added or freshly edited now wear a small "Updated" tag in the course list, so you can spot what's changed at a glance. The tag shows for two weeks after an edit and then quietly steps aside.
2026-05-21
Every course now has a printable checklist. Open any course page, scroll to "More on this course," and hit "Print / save as PDF" to get a clean handout of every skill with a tick box next to it. Take it to the gym, the park, or the slope and mark things off with a pen.
2026-05-18
You'll now get notified when someone replies to your comment, so you can follow a conversation without having to scroll back and check for yourself.
2026-05-18
Comment threads go deeper now. You can reply directly to a reply, so back-and-forth discussions stay grouped together instead of piling up flat.
2026-05-16
We redrew the Progresspedia logo. It's simpler, a little friendlier, and finally looks the way the place feels.
2026-05-16
Open any course and you'll see a progress bar at the top. It's actually two bars stacked up: the green one counts the articles you've finished, and the orange one shows how much you've been learning along the way.
2026-05-16
Not every article in a course is going to be your thing, and that's fine. You can now hide the skills you're not interested in, so your course page only shows what you actually want to work through.
