dev's Classic Expository Style pass over the websites is the base; re-applied from this branch only where a fact was missing or wrong: real volume titles and status, no stale counts or timing claims, the four-volume teaching guide and slide pages. Lecture lists regenerated by tools/lectures.py; the PPTX note appears on all four volume pages.

**The TinyTorch Globe.** Create an account and join the global community to track your progress and connect with other builders.
|
||
|
||
|
||
**Learn together, build together, grow together.**
|
||
|
||
TinyTorch is more than a course. It is a growing community of students, educators, and ML engineers learning systems engineering from first principles.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Community Dashboard (Available Now)
|
||
|
||
Join the global TinyTorch community and see your progress:
|
||
|
||
1. **Create a community account** to connect your profile with other builders.
|
||
2. **Build and complete modules** with `tito module start` and `tito module complete`.
|
||
3. **Review your progress** in the dashboard and run the milestones your modules unlock.
|
||
4. **Choose what to share** when joining the community.
|
||
|
||
## How to Join the TinyTorch Community:
|
||
|
||
There are two primary ways to join and engage with the TinyTorch community:
|
||
|
||
### Option 1: Explore the Live Dashboard
|
||
|
||
You can explore the interactive TinyTorch Community Dashboard directly in your browser:
|
||
|
||
```{=html}
|
||
<p align="center">
|
||
<a href="community/community.html" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" style="background-color: #ff6600; color: white; padding: 15px 30px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; font-size: 20px; margin: 10px 2px; cursor: pointer; border-radius: 8px; border: none;">
|
||
Explore Dashboard <span class="badge badge-light"></span>
|
||
</a>
|
||
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
### Option 2: Join via TinyTorch CLI
|
||
|
||
Download the TinyTorch CLI to set up your environment, manage your profile, and contribute to community statistics directly from your terminal.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# First-time setup (creates your local profile; does not join the community)
|
||
tito setup
|
||
|
||
# Or, if already set up, log in
|
||
tito community login
|
||
|
||
# View your profile
|
||
tito community profile
|
||
|
||
# Check your community status
|
||
tito community status
|
||
|
||
# Open the community map
|
||
tito community map
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Features:**
|
||
|
||
- **Optional profile** - `tito setup` asks for your name, email, and affiliation; every field can be left at its default
|
||
- **Progress tracking** - Automatic milestone and module completion tracking
|
||
- **Local by default** - Your profile is written to `~/.tinytorch/profile.json`, and module progress to `.tito/` in the project
|
||
- **You choose what syncs** - Nothing is uploaded until you log in with `tito community login`. Login shows exactly what a sync sends and asks whether later syncs may run automatically
|
||
|
||
**Privacy.** The local profile at `~/.tinytorch/profile.json` stores the name, email, and affiliation you enter; all three are optional and default to placeholder values. A sync uploads to the TinyTorch website (tinytorch.netlify.app, backed by Supabase): your account email, used as your user ID; which modules you completed and when; which milestones you unlocked or completed and when; your completion percentage; and your current streak. It never uploads code, notebooks, or test output. When you log in, `tito` shows this list and asks whether it may sync automatically after you complete a module or milestone (logging in from a terminal that cannot prompt counts as yes). If you agree, or later run `tito community sync --enable-auto`, it syncs after each completion without asking. If you decline, or run `tito community sync --disable-auto`, it never syncs on its own and stops asking. If no choice is saved on this machine, `tito` asks after each completion in a terminal and uploads nothing when it cannot ask. Setting `TITO_NO_SYNC=1` turns automatic sync off entirely. `tito community sync` always uploads on demand.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Check Your Environment Speed
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
tito benchmark baseline # times plain NumPy on this machine
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`tito benchmark baseline` times a few NumPy operations (elementwise ops and a matrix multiply on 100×100 arrays, and a two-layer forward pass) and reports each time and their geometric mean. It checks your environment, not your TinyTorch code, and gives no score. Results are saved locally under `.tito/benchmarks/`; nothing is uploaded, and there is no community leaderboard.
|
||
|
||
`tito benchmark capstone` is reserved for measuring your Module 20 model but is not implemented yet: it reports an error, saves nothing, and points you to Module 19's `Benchmark` class, which you can run on your model directly.
|
||
|
||
