🚀 How to Deploy on GitHub Pages

1. Create a new GitHub repository (e.g. cfa-tracker or your personal site repo)
2. Upload all these files to the repository root
3. Go to Settings → Pages → Source and select main branch, / (root)
4. Your site will be live at https://yourusername.github.io/cfa-tracker/

⚠️ The site uses fetch('data.json') which requires HTTP. It will NOT work if you just open HTML files locally with file://. Use GitHub Pages or a local server.

✏️ How to Add Notes & Questions

Open data.json in any text editor and find the topic you want. Fill in the "notes" and "questions" fields:

{
  "id": 1,
  "name": "Time Value of Money",
  "notes": "Paste your full study notes here.\n\nYou can use multiple lines.\nUse \\n for line breaks in JSON.",
  "questions": [
    {
      "q": "What is the formula for future value?",
      "a": "FV = PV × (1 + r)^n"
    },
    {
      "q": "What does NPV stand for?",
      "a": "Net Present Value — the difference between the present value of cash inflows and outflows."
    }
  ]
}

After editing, commit and push to GitHub. Your site will update automatically.

📊 How the Study Tracker Works

Daily Hours

• Enter how many hours you studied today on the Dashboard
• Click Log Hours to save it
• Data is saved to your browser's localStorage (stays on your device)

Daily Goal & Rollover

• Set your daily minimum hours goal (e.g. 4 hours)
• If you study less than the goal, the missed hours roll over to the next day
• If you study more, the surplus reduces the next day's target
• Example: Goal = 4h. You study 2h on Monday → Tuesday target becomes 4 + 2 = 6h

Topic Checklist

• Click any topic row on a Subject page to mark it complete/incomplete
• Or use the checkbox on the left
• Completion data is saved in localStorage

Heatmap

• Shows your last 90 days of study activity
• Darker blue = more hours studied that day
