User Journey

Inspired by gtypist and OpenCode TUI interfaces:

1. Startup: User enters their name
2. Language Selection: Choose from available languages/frameworks
3. Section Selection: Pick Fundamentals, Levels, Snippets, or Projects
4. Lesson Selection: Browse available lessons/exercises
5. Learning Interface:
   • Top Panel: Lesson title, description/problem statement, session timer
   • Bottom Panel: Neovim editor for code writing (checklists for projects)
   • Controls: Navigation shortcuts, complete/finish buttons

Requirements & Technical Details

• Navigation: Mouse input + keyboard shortcuts (j/k for navigation, Enter to select)
• Code Persistence: Code saved only during session; progress persists across sessions
• Progress Tracking: Markdown report files with checklists (e.g., "Progress Report - Username.md")
• Timer: Tracks total session time
• Editor: Embedded Neovim for advanced code editing
• Platform: Linux/macOS/Windows (terminal-based)
