Khan/khan-exercises
Jun 2012 - Nov 2015
A (deprecated) framework for building exercises to work with Khan Academy.
Role in this project:Front-end Developer
Front-end DeveloperContributions:1011 commits, 63 pushes in 3 years 4 months
Contributions summary:Peter appears to be a front-end developer, as the commits primarily involve creating and modifying HTML files that implement exercises within the Khan Academy framework. The code changes focus on defining the structure and content of these exercises, including questions, solutions, and hints, which suggest a focus on user interaction and presentation. These commits also include modifications for decimal display, and the layout and styling of elements within the exercises.
