Track user progress separately by certifications paths (with API endpoint)

[rafaelpac]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The only public progress indicator of a given user is the total points count.
But those points are a sum of the number of solved challenges on all certifications paths.
I think it would be cool if we had the points separated by certification path and also indicated as a percentage.

Describe the solution you'd like

On a user page, instead of having the total points progress, display the points separately by certification path.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It would be great if this is also queryable as an API endpoint.

That heatmap is kind of complex and has always been somewhat problematic. I'm not against improvements, but this sounds like added complexity. I'm not sure exactly how you envision this @rafaelpac, perhaps a mock or something might help.

I potentially like the idea of having some user info being available via an api. Not sure if we want to open that up for extra external traffic though.

Hi, thanks for your interest!
Today, if I go to my page, this is what I see:

I have got 96 points from the Responsive Web Design path and 77 from the JS Algorithms and Data Structures path.
That sums up to 173 points. I am not sure where the other 2 points came from.
I would like to see something like this:

I would like to use this to track my kids progress (with a little python script that I wrote).
To do that today I would need to use something like Selenium, login with their usernames, find the points elements in the DOM and sum them.
It would be much easier and less prone to errors if I could check their public page at once or even better if I can get it from an API.

Hi there @rafaelpac I think you might be interested in https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/classroom From the README:

For a while now teachers have been asking for a way to get a birds eye view of multiple students who are progressing through the course. This is why we set out to make freeCodeCamp classroom mode, an interactive dashboard for teachers to view multiple freeCodeCamp users’ progress on their courses.

Is that more or less what you're looking for?

[rafaelpac]

Thanks @ojeytonwilliams! This looks great indeed!
But I am not sure if I know enough to use this, is there a demo version of it running publicly somewhere?

[ojeytonwilliams]

I'm afraid it's still in the early stages, so there won't be a fully functional version for a while. It's more that should, hopefully, meet your needs once it is up and running.

What I recommend is to get in touch with the devs that are focusing on that (either via Github or in the chat https://chat.freecodecamp.org/channel/classroom)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Our profile is due for a redesign and we should make the number more meaningful. It will most likely be a tooltip or a dropdown that reveals more info about the user's points.

I will work on a mock/wireframe next week, share it here, and we can continue the discussion.
