I created SkillUpper because I was thinking about how Computer Science learning could be more interactive.

Codecademy pioneered a more interactive REPL style of learning for basic programming.

I felt that this interactive step-by-step approach could be used to learn other parts of Computer Science more efficiently.

Because of algorithms being highly represented in software engineering interviews, it seemed like a good place to start. But this step-by-step format could also be used to teach other parts of Computer Science.

Any SkillUpper for salary negotiation?
My business partner and I are professional negotiators for software engineers. Happy to chat further inquiry@dangoormendel.com
Have you worked with Project Euler by chance? If not, you might find aspects of it valuable for this project.

Are you aware of https://exercism.io/ (volunteer run)?
Like zybooks?
I haven't personally used zyBooks, but they seem to have a similar vision. Although from what I can see on the Internet, reviews of their materials seem to be mixed.
