Congratulations, this is really a nice project.

Beware, when signing up with my email the white overlay signup container became empty (full width, a few pixels tall, no content inside). I clicked outside it to close it, header still showing the blue login/sign up button.

Reloading the page showed me as logged in (my email in the header)

At every step, you need to run code to advance. On that page (https://futurecoder.io/course/#AddingStrings) you first need to run `'hello' + 'world'` in the shell as instructed. The next step is an exercise: you have to output the same thing with a space in between words, so code such as `'hello' + ' ' + 'world'` is accepted. The 'Next' button only appears at the end of the page.

You're not the first person I've seen get confused about this, I'll need to find a way to make it clearer that the interface is waiting for you to run something.
