Due to the recent data leak all API endpoints requiring authentication have been disabled until I get around to implementing a password reset and can re-encrypt all account data. Essentially the site is read only at the time. In addition, I rewrote the code editor from the ground up. Unfortunately, the new editor still needs a lot of debugging. Please let me know what bugs you encounter with it. I am aware that tab creation/deletion/reordering is buggy.
VExcess Academy is similiar to Khan Academy, however we mainly focus on computer science. Students can create programs using the online editor and share them with the community.
Also Important: This project is still under development so expect new features to show up, features to temporarily stop working, and some features to permanently disappear.

Support the Founder
I (VExcess) have spent hundreds of hours working to provide this software to everyone free of charge. However, hosting a website isn't free (Finance Logs) and I also need to pay for college. If you have money to spare and my work has provided utility to you consider donating to me. You can donate Solana to my wallet address at 4c83DZVr5wKfsWW62AvYamX6gjugCyuwQmST2meWnno2. IMPORTANT: Only send Solana to my wallet; sending other crypto currencies (e.g. Bitcoin or Ethereum) to a Solana wallet will result in the coins being lost forever into the void of cyberspace.
Our goal is to create a high quality free online education environment focused on computer science.
