Find the next challenge without hunting through concept pages first.

Every entry here is still the existing Challenge mode inside a shared concept page. The hub only makes those tasks visible by topic, concept, and starter-track path while reusing the current canonical content and local-first progress store.

Guided paths

Use starter tracks when you want challenge discovery to stay ordered.

These cards reuse the current starter tracks instead of inventing a separate challenge curriculum. The path stays small, the concepts stay canonical, and the challenge links still land in the existing concept pages.
