What We're Building

At Rollercoaster.dev, we're crafting a unique platform centered around Open Badges ↗ , designed specifically for the neurodivergent experience.

📊 Track and Showcase Progress

Track progress on any goal that matters to you – learning, work, hobbies, community action, personal growth, and more. Our flexible system adapts to your unique journey, letting you document and celebrate achievements in a way that makes sense for you.

Key Features:
  • ✓ Flexible goal tracking
  • ✓ Custom achievement paths
  • ✓ Progress visualization

🎨 Visualize Your Journey

See your progress and achievements in meaningful, visual ways. Our platform offers different views and representations of your journey, helping you recognize patterns, celebrate milestones, and stay motivated through visual feedback.

Key Features:
  • ✓ Multiple view options
  • ✓ Pattern recognition
  • ✓ Visual milestone tracking

🌱 Pause and Restart with Ease

Life isn't linear, and neither is progress. Our system supports natural ebbs and flows, letting you pause during challenging times like burnout or low motivation. When you're ready to return, you'll find your progress preserved and tools to help you pick up where you left off.

Key Features:
  • ✓ Flexible pausing
  • ✓ Progress preservation
  • ✓ Easy resumption

🤝 Connect with Community

Join a community that understands. Share experiences, learn from others' journeys, and find mutual support. Our platform facilitates meaningful connections through shared achievements and collaborative learning paths.

Key Features:
  • ✓ Shared achievements
  • ✓ Learning communities
  • ✓ Mutual support

We believe this system can empower neurodivergent individuals to navigate their goals, document their unique paths, and build confidence along the way.

Our Vision: Tools Built From Lived Experience

Standard productivity tools often fall short for neurodivergent individuals.

The Challenge

Rigid schedules and linear lists don't always align with how our minds work best. We understand that neurodivergent strengths are different, and navigating goals requires tools that offer flexibility, clear steps, and genuine understanding – not just another calendar.

Our Solution

At Rollercoaster.dev, our vision is simple: Create the tools we wish existed, built by and for the neurodivergent community.

Our Goals

🎯 To Empower Users

Breaking down overwhelming goals into manageable, actionable steps that make sense for you.

🌊 To Offer Flexibility

Adapting to your fluctuating energy and focus, free from rigid timelines and expectations.

🤝 To Foster Community

Building connections through shared understanding and mutual support, because we truly 'get it'.

We're building this because we understand the need firsthand. It's about creating solutions that embrace and support the diverse ways neurodivergent minds thrive.

Where We Are & Where We're Going

Our journey is underway! Here's a glimpse of our progress and planned next steps:

1Core Engine
Near Completion (Alpha)

We're finalizing the backend API (`bun-badges`) and shared data structures (`openbadges-types`) based on the Open Badges standard. These form the foundation of the platform.

See progress:
bun-badges ↗ openbadges-types ↗

2Building Blocks
Next Up

Development will begin on a library of reusable interface components (Vue) specifically for interacting with Open Badges.

🔨Component library development starting soon

3The Platform
Planned

Bringing it all together into an intuitive workspace (`badges.rollercoaster.dev`) where users can manage, visualize, and share their badges and learning journeys.

🎯Platform development planned for Q2 2024

4Community & Growth
Ongoing/Future

We're actively seeking neurodivergent collaborators to join the development and design effort. Following the initial build, we'll focus on securing funding and initiating testing phases.

🌱Join us in shaping the future!

We're excited about building this incrementally and transparently with the community.
