Visible progress, not private working data
Build & Evidence
A concise public record of website milestones, corrections, evidence boundaries and preserved versions. Unverified outcomes and private project records are intentionally excluded.
Latest Visible Stage
A coded educational site with guided learning paths, four local practice activities, an action-based Young Thinkers prototype and preserved earlier versions.
Timeline
Visible Milestones
18 July 2026
Think Smarter AI Was Founded
Jacob W. founded the project around the principle that AI should improve human thinking, not replace it.
29 July 2026
The Website Moved from Carrd to Coded Source
The homepage source was stored in a private GitHub repository and deployed through Cloudflare Pages to the live custom domain after review. Carrd was retained temporarily as a rollback option.
29 July 2026
About, Start Here and Build Log Were Added to the Site
The first multi-page navigation, mobile menu and practical learning page were released through reviewed website changes.
30 July 2026
The Current Visual System and Founder Page Were Introduced
The public site moved beyond its Carrd-era styling, added a dedicated Founder page and explained how human direction and AI assistance are separated.
30 July 2026
The Site Added Its First Interactive Practice Activity
Website v0.4 added the Thinking Check, a transparent account of how AI helped build the website and an exploratory public Case Study 001 page.
30 July 2026
The Three Audience Priorities Were Added to the Site
The website added a plain-language beginner guide and an honest Young Thinkers roadmap. The roadmap states that no child-ready activity has been validated or released.
30 July 2026
Website v0.5.1 Expanded the Thinking Check
The practice activity added more realistic choices, response-specific explanations and a percentage result. The New to AI guide also added a neutral list of official AI services for first-time testing.
31 July 2026
Website v0.6 Added Tailored Paths and Optional Result Sharing
The Thinking Check expanded into a thirty-question bank with separate Beginner, Everyday and Advanced ten-question pathways. After seeing a result, an adult visitor can choose whether to share one completed response set for aggregate learning. The release added explicit consent, a privacy notice, server-checked pathway scoring, a deletion receipt and a short-retention database boundary. The quiz still works without sharing.
2 August 2026
Website v0.7 Added an Advanced AI Project Guide
The site added a human-led project-management guide for advanced AI users, a local three-round Project Triage activity, a reusable project brief and clearer access from the homepage.
2 August 2026
Website v0.8 Added Learning Paths and Claim Checking
The site grouped its guidance into a Learning Hub, simplified the primary navigation and added a local ten-decision Claim Check Lab using fictional source material. The lab does not submit or store responses and is not a validated assessment.
2 August 2026
Website v0.9 Released the Young Thinkers Lab for Adult Review
The release turns the Young Thinkers roadmap into an adult-review prototype with three story-driven missions, fourteen closed-choice decisions and a static strongest-path guide. Gameplay choices stay in the page and are not submitted or scored. Intended age, safeguarding ownership, learner release, child testing and learning outcomes remain unverified.
2 August 2026
Website v0.10 Candidate Adds Signal Launch
The candidate adds an original action-based signal sorter beside the retained question missions. It is designed so adults can aim six fictional claims at evidence rings with touch, mouse or keyboard controls. It has no score, timer, leaderboard, drag requirement, submitted action or saved state.

What Is Being Tested Next

Intended age, content ownership, safeguarding, broader device checks and learner-facing release remain open. Search usefulness and learning outcomes remain unverified.
