I'm 14 and built a course tracker because Udemy's dashboard is not good enough

Source: Dev.to

Background

I’m 14 and in 9th grade. I’ve bought way too many online courses. Udemy sales are tempting—“$9.99? That’s basically free!”—and before I know it I have dozens of courses with no idea which ones I’ve actually watched.

The Problem

• Udemy’s My Learning page shows a massive list of courses with 0% progress bars, making it hard to organize or prioritize what to study next.
• Learning across multiple platforms (Coursera, YouTube playlists, freeCodeCamp, bookmarked tutorials) leaves everything scattered.

Solution: CourseBound

I built CourseBound, a simple dashboard that lets you:

• Add courses from any platform
• Track your progress
• See what you should focus on next

I created it using AI tools (Claude, Cursor) while learning web development. The site is completely free; I’m not trying to sell anything.

How to Try It

If you have a graveyard of unfinished courses, give it a try: coursebound.org

Feedback

I’d love to hear what features would actually help you finish courses instead of just collecting them.

What’s your unfinished course count? I’ll go first: 34 😅
