Progress and drafts are stored locally.
Your learning progress and current sample draft live in VS Code’s private extension storage for each workspace. No account, API key, or server is involved.
Learning stays on your device.
The While extension and this website handle information differently. Here is each, in plain language.
The While extension
Version 0.5.1. Manual lessons work offline. Optional hooks communicate only locally.
Code matching is optional and bounded.
Only after you turn it on for a workspace, While reads your selection, or up to the first 200 lines of the active file, capped at 16 KiB. It never scans or indexes the repository.
Automatic hooks send only the minimum, and only locally.
If you connect them, hooks pass lifecycle information such as event type, session and turn identifiers, workspace, and time to a receiver on your own computer. While does not forward prompts or replies and does not read Codex transcripts.
Exports happen only when you ask.
An export contains the learning outcomes and timestamps you select, saved to a file you choose. There is no automatic upload.
This website
No analytics, trackers, accounts, or forms.
The site adds no analytics or advertising scripts and asks you for nothing.
The sample lesson runs in your browser.
Answers you choose are not stored or sent anywhere. Refreshing the page resets it.
Hosting
Hosted with Sites. Like any website, the service that delivers these pages may keep ordinary request logs.
