WebTerm Learn

@daiaoki Checking every command as you go is where this gets hard, because on a real terminal there are usually five ways to get the same result, and a learner who reaches the right end state with different flags than you expected should still pass. Does the check compare the command string, or the resulting state of the sandbox filesystem?

Just tried it. Really good git lessons. The other format that's on https://webterm.app/ is good too.

The line about refusing to leave the AI's work as a black box is the right one, and it goes further than the terminal. I shipped a render queue an agent wrote, approved the diff twice without reading past the function signature, and lost three days to a stale job id. So the lesson I'd add is reading a diff, not typing commands, because the way people get hurt now is approving code rather than writing the wrong line. Free and no signup is the reason this one actually gets used.

The no-signup and free approach makes this really easy to try. I especially like the balance of hand-drawn explanations with a real terminal instead of learning everything from static examples.

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Dai, the maker of WebTerm.Earlier this year I launched WebTerm here: a browser terminal where running `rm -rf /` breaks nothing. More than 1,000 people use it every day now.Its UI is stripped down to almost nothing, which experienced developers liked. But it's for trying a command the moment you think of it, not for learning things in order, and there was nowhere to explain anything properly.Engineers who want to get better keep asking me what they should be learning. AI writing the code doesn't end that. How much of the AI's work you refuse to leave as a black box is what decides whether you can step in as a professional, and the more work AI absorbs, the fewer chances there are to build that experience. So I built WebTerm Learn.Hand-drawn slides teach the idea, then you type the real commands in a real terminal. Every command is checked as you go.The curriculum is a 3D world map. Each course is a land, so you always know where to go next.Missions drop you into real incidents: a release that took down production, a secret pushed to a repo.Pilots meet an engine failure in a simulator, not in the air. Developers should have the same thing.Terminal, Git, and Vim today, with data analysis, software development, networking, and security to come. All free, and the first lesson takes about a minute.Whatever you think, I want to hear it. I'll read every comment and reply.
