Right now I have my single-file web app projects as inventwithpython.com/project.html but would it be "better" if I put them at project.inventwithpython.com instead? I'd register a domain name for them if it weren't for the cost.

Doing a soft launch of a "no borders" geography quiz where you have to identify countries based on land, water, and rivers rather than borders. Also it's a generic globe as well. You can save the .html file and it works offline forever. https://inventwithpython.com/no-borders-geography.html

Stanford and Princeton are moving back to proctored exams and blue books. The reason: finished work alone no longer reliably shows what students learned. AI detector tools have false-positive risks and can't anchor misconduct cases, so universities are instead tracking process—drafts, oral defenses, revisions. A shift in what counts as evidence.
