Feature: [Your idea]

[kvutien]

A suggestion for a new feature or enhancement to be applied across the ProtoSchool site.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a beginner I'm always lost when I explore the IPFS github and IPFS JS. I find the same feeling here because they are organised by topics, instead of organised by the need of progression of a beginner.

Describe the solution you'd like
Organising by topic is fine for someone who is familiar with the subject. But for a beginner, all topics are the same importance, unless we learn incidentally by reading that we should start here and there.

How about presenting the tutorials by progression? For example start by showing a drawing with boxes named as the tutorials, from left to right in order of progression, and also group the tutorials by pages: one page of tutorials for true beginners; one page for people who know already what are a PKI, a hash, a websocket; one page for typical use cases (the decentralised blog) to motivate the reader; one page for more advanced topics (libp2P, multistream, protoBufs).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Keep the same presentation as today, but add a number and/or a tag to each tutorial.

Additional context
I'm learning IPFS because I want to use OrbitDB to complement an open source collaborative blockchain toolbox for humanitarians. Machu Picchu.

Thanks for the suggestion! Although we haven't made it explicit, when you're within a course, the tutorials listed are ordered from easiest to hardest. We have indeed thought of adding difficulty tags to content as well. In your case, I'd suggest doing through the IPFS course in the order listed. Decentralized Data Structures, Merkle DAGS, and Content Addressing are foundational to most of our content, and if you're a JavaScript dev then the coding challenges are also listed in the order I'd recommend.
