Skill Quest is an interactive, gamified web application that helps you visualize and track your learning progress through skill trees. Designed to work with MakerSkillTree SVG files, it takes the concept of skill trees -- visual learning paths -- and adds gamification elements to make learning more engaging and rewarding. Think of it as a "RPG for real-life skills" where you:

• Visualize your learning path as interactive skill trees
• Track progress with XP, levels, and achievements
• Stay motivated with streaks, badges, and activity tracking
• Manage multiple skill trees across various categories

Try the project here.

Maker Skill Trees are printable templates that can you can use to visualize your skill progress, identify skill gaps and get inspired to try new things. Skill Quest attempts to digitalize the process of creating and sharing skill trees.

This tool is specifically designed to work with SVG files generated by the MakerSkillTree Generator, creating a seamless workflow from skill tree creation to progress tracking.

• Local Progress Tracking: Full-featured offline-first application using LocalStorage
• Skill Tree Management: Import, organize, and categorize SVG skill trees
• Gamification System:
  • XP & Level progression
  • Achievement unlocking
  • Daily streaks
  • Visual effects (particles, confetti)
• Interactive Viewer: Click-to-complete skills with customizable colors
• Dashboard Analytics: Comprehensive stats and activity tracking
• Data Management: Import/export functionality and profile customization
• Responsive Design: Works on desktop and mobile devices

Today, Skill Quest is a personal tool that helps individuals track their learning progress locally. Users can:

• Import skill trees from MakerSkillTree
• Track personal learning metrics
• Visualize their progress
• Maintain their data locally

We envision transforming Skill Quest into a collaborative learning platform where users can:

• Community Leaderboards: Compare progress with others
• Collaborative Challenges: Team-based learning quests
• Skill-based Matchmaking: Connect with peers learning similar skills
• Reward Marketplace: Exchange XP for learning resources

• Skill Completion Sharing: Post when you complete skills with resources used
• Learning Resource Database: Crowd-sourced links, tutorials, and materials
• Study Groups: Create or join groups for specific skill trees
• Mentor Matching: Connect beginners with experienced learners

• Resource Attribution: Tag resources (videos, articles, courses) to specific skills
• Quality Voting: Community-voted best resources for each skill
• Learning Path Recommendations: AI-suggested resources based on your progress
• Progress Journals: Document your learning journey for each skill

• Cloud Backup: Sync progress across devices
• Public Profiles: Share your skill tree progress publicly
• API Access: For developers to build integrations
• Data Export: To portfolio websites or LinkedIn

• Local progress tracking
• Basic gamification
• SVG skill tree support
• Responsive design

• User authentication
• Cloud sync
• Public profiles
• Basic resource sharing

• Learning resource database
• Community challenges
• Advanced analytics
• Mobile application

• API for third-party integrations
• Learning platform partnerships
• Certification system
• Marketplace for learning resources

We are actively seeking developers, designers, and content creators to help us make Skill Quest the best learning tool it can be. If you're interested, please check out our Contributing Guidelines for more details. Depending your profile, here is a list of ideas we are looking for:

• Designers:

  • UI/UX improvements. As you will notice, it is currently very miniamlist and colorless, there are plenty opportunities to make it more visually appealing and interesting.

• Developers:

  • Frontend development. We are currently using pure HTML, CSS, and JS for the frontend to make it accesible to any developer with the basic knowledge of web tech. We welcome any contribution to implement design ideas or new features.
  • Backend development. We are currently using LocalStorage for data management, but in order to accomplish future goals, we need help to develop a backend system to handle user accounts, data sync, and API integrations.

• Content Creators: We still don't have the infraestructure to link learning resources to specific skills but you can help us create a comprehensive resource database where users can find the best resources for each skill. Here are some ideas we are looking for:

  • Tutorials and guides for specific skills
  • Video tutorials and guides
  • Blog posts and articles
  • Learning resources (books, courses, etc.)

It can be resources already created or you can help us create them.
