TinkIT
From your first prompt to your first real product.
TinkIT is a gamified learning platform that takes a complete beginner from their first AI prompt to a real, shipped product. It is not a video course, it is a learning engine.
The hook is an interactive map of the whole software ecosystem. From there, learners follow a personalized path of short, block-based lessons, each built as a tiny story: the situation, an analogy, a visual, a hands-on try, the typical mistake, the precise detail, a challenge, and the result.
Instead of watching, learners practice in real simulators for the CLI, Git, HTTP, environment variables, DNS, database security, Stripe and Docker, guided by Tink, the mascot. A six-question wizard turns what you want to build into an ordered path and a recommended stack.
It runs on Next.js and Supabase with Stripe Checkout and webhook-verified access, plus a continuously verified tool directory so comparisons never go stale.
