How? I think the value would be in the real-life back-and-forth involved with really trying to understand and answer the questions, and in tailoring the questions to where you know the person answering needs to go next.

There might be some branching, but mostly it'd be a straight line from "you are here" to "now you know enough". The back-and-forth shouldn't be with the person asking the questions, because then that's called teaching, not self-taught.

What they're asking for is a syllabus.

I've had the idea-man work done for a wildly expansive version of this for a few years now. I should spend some time on that.

Why doesn't the OP just make this an app?
