Field notes
The lesson path assigns concrete topics to its ranks: early belts cover movement and insertion, while later ones include text objects, the dot command, and Vim golf. The install instructions offer platform-specific downloads and say Node.js is built in, but require a terminal at least 80×24 characters. The page lists a one-time $19 license for the remaining belts.
