I'm still looking into Meta Trails but can you speak to how it is better than web apps that are so common like Codecademy? With those, it seems like it's easy to just go through the motions and complete the tasks without actually learning anything. Is Meta Trails even close to those coding teachers or is it entirely different?

Sorry for the late reply.

Meta trails is a companion to tools like Codeacademy or Team Treehouse. What we've found is its really hard to answer questions like 'Do you know CSS' its much easier to ask smaller questions like can you postion an element on a page, can you style typography correctly. By asking these smaller questions you can gauge where you are and whats missing.

Meta Trails asks you those questions, its more of a tool than a platform.
