Maps and indexes for learning almost anything.

Resources
- SkillTree (LearnDB) (Website) — an open-source “universal map for learning”: quality resources for any topic, organised by subject and format and tagged with difficulty, prerequisites, and traits like visual or interactive, with direct links out.
- Learn X by doing Y (Website) — a project-based-learning search engine that points you at concrete projects to build, on the idea that you learn a skill best by making something real with it.
- Opinionated Guides (Website) — one engineer’s curated, no-BS map for teaching yourself engineering, music, design, and philosophy — the good resources kept, the junk filtered out, meant to be the friend you come back to for “where next?”.
