The Reading Experience
Each post has a full-width adaptive layout with:- A hero section with title, kicker, estimated reading time, and tags
- The cover image (when provided)
- The body rendered with rich formatting: bold, inline links, paragraph spacing, callouts, pull-quotes, inline images, and numbered steps for guides
- A sticky sidebar on desktop (or a collapsible Table of Contents on mobile) for quick navigation
- An Author Card at the end with a link to the author’s public profile
Upvoting Posts
If a post is genuinely useful, upvote it to boost its visibility. Academy upvotes work like the rest of the platform:- Upvoting requires Level 4
- You can cast 1 academy upvote per UTC day - across all posts combined, not per post
- The counter resets at midnight UTC
- You can unvote the same day to free up your daily slot, then vote on a different post
- A small timer on the upvote button tells you when your next slot opens
