JEWEL: a personal CFA study space

2024Education

A calm study space for a CFA candidate: ten subjects in one place, progress across all of them, a daily study goal and a way back to wherever she left off.

Problem

CFA prep material is spread across dozens of files. Every session started with hunting for the right one and guessing how far along each subject was, and generic study apps felt noisy and impersonal.

Solution

JEWEL is a small, quiet website built for one person. The landing page leads into a personal dashboard with all ten subjects, from Alternative Investments to Economics, an overall progress bar, manual completion marks, the last subject opened and a daily study goal in minutes. A light and dark theme follows her preference. Everything is stored in the browser, so there is no account to manage, and the original subject files are served exactly as provided, with checksums to prove nothing was altered.

Outcome

She opens one link and picks up where she left off. It is live on Vercel, and it taught me that a product for one person deserves the same care as a product for thousands.
