<p>I used to teach a CSS to college freshman class a decade and a half ago.<p>An assignment that I had that they always seemed to enjoy was picking a stadium scoreboard (I initially forced Fenway park but loosened it up in later years) and recreating it responsively exclusively in html markup and hand coded CSS (JS only allowed to pass arrays).  Had to go through all 3 major media queries.<p>That assignment was in week 4 out of 15.  95% of the kids came in with no CSS knowledge at that time.<p>If you learned CSS through the aforementioned frameworks that abstract it into a mishmash of barely recognizable selector abbreviations I totally understand why you would think that it was complex and unapproachable. But once you understand positioning and the box model selector by selector sky's the limit.<p>Blame bootstrap for the nature of today's HEADER ROW BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK ROW BLOCK BLOCK ROW state of web design.   CSS has very little to do with that.<p>Edit: sorry for the run on sentences.</p>

<p>The biodiversity in West Africa in general is completely underrated.  I mean, Darwin solidified his trajectory in life  a few short days after the Beagle anchored off of Cape Verde (a place he initially detested then fell in love with).<p>I'm hoping that Cape Verde's World Cup success story translates to more eye balls on stories like this (with the mere mention of the country landing it in search results).  Which means more attention, money and research to West Africa's relatively fragile but diverse ecosystem.</p>

<p>Congrats man. I've been in edtech for the last 15 years.  I was working on something similar (socratic method, 1:1 LLM <-> student, skills based) but joined a company and had to shelve it due to a non-compete.<p>You've picked one hell of a time to enter the K12 market.   1:1 device backlash, AI tool scrutiny hightening, teacher exhaustion, no recovery in sight for the recent funding cliff.<p>Your pilot model is the way to go. My favorite tools all grew out of that model.  Stay patient, listen to the early users, encourage them to spread the word. Dont' be above grinding it out at a table at some of the smaller regional educaitonal confreneces.<p>Sounds like you're already doing this but take IXL head on. They are ripe for the picking.<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Apple sold over 500k (the last reported number) of Apple Vision Pros and they had/have a built in ecosystem and known developer tools.<p>It's been considered by all measures a flop.  (I have one and love it).<p>Snapchat has a 2nd rate social media platform after a new audience, they already failed with hardware once, they lost all momentrum relative to their geo spatial ad filters and Lens make app (blew up during COVID).<p>I dont know convinces anyone that they are due for an Apple like moment in AR at $2k+ per glasses.<p>This is why VCs/PEs tend to not like founders.</p>

<p>I run Linux across a dozen thin clients and a server class desktop in my home lab.
