The Vault

Trading education platform · 2024

A platform for learning, practice and progression

I built The Vault from scratch for a trading community, bringing courses, videos and trading tools into one place. As the sole developer, I built everything from interactive chart exercises and progression unlocks to payments and the automated video pipeline.

Built around the learning journey

  1. 01

    Learn

  2. 02

    Practise

  3. 03

    Unlock

A place to do more than watch.

Courses, practical exercises and progression in a platform built for the community.

01 / The starting point

One home for the community's learning.

The community needed a platform that brought its courses, videos and trading tools together, making it easier for students to learn. I built The Vault from scratch to give that learning a home of its own.

The brief went beyond hosting videos. Students needed ways to practise, interact with the material and progress through their learning journey. It was also an opportunity to have an in-house platform built around the community.

02 / What I built

The whole platform, from the ground up.

01Platform development

Bring the learning into one place

I built the entire platform from scratch as its only developer, bringing courses, videos and trading tools into one place. The platform was built around the trading community and the way its students learn.

02Interactive learning

Make practice part of the experience

I built interactive charts and technical exercises so students could put what they were learning into practice alongside the videos. Active participation became part of the platform itself.

03Progression

Give students a journey to follow

I added features students could unlock as they moved through their learning journey. The aim was to make the experience more interactive and give students encouragement to keep learning.

04Payments & coaching

Build in payments and paid coaching

I built the payment functionality and support for paid coaching as part of the same platform, bringing the commercial side of the community together with its learning experience.

05Video automation

Automate the video pipeline

I built the pipeline that imports videos from Discord and processes them for use in The Vault. Video handling was part of the platform's engineering, alongside the student-facing features.

  • Workflow automation
  • Video processing
  • Platform integration

03 / The result

An interactive platform the community could call its own.

The community responded positively to The Vault. Students could work through technical exercises alongside the videos, with features to unlock as they progressed through their learning journey.

The result was an in-house learning platform tailored to the community, providing an alternative to paid external platforms. Courses, tools, practice and coaching could all sit within the same experience.
