🚗 Intro: The Need for an Online Theory Course
When I started building TheorieNet, I noticed one thing: many people in the Netherlands struggle with the CBR theory exam, especially expats and first-time learners.
As a developer and problem-solver, I knew this could be tackled with a well-designed online learning platform.
🛠️ The Tech Stack
The site is built using:
Frontend: React + Tailwind CSS
Backend: Node.js + Express
Database: MongoDB
Auth & Payments: Firebase + Stripe
Hosting: Vercel for frontend, Render for backend
I also integrated:
Quiz engine for practice tests
Progress tracking
Promo codes & discount system (like our current WIN20 promo 🎉)
📈 Challenges I Faced
Localization – Multilingual support for Dutch and English learners
Mobile-first UX – Most users learn from their phones
Exam-style quiz logic – Simulating real CBR exam pressure
🧪 Lessons Learned
Don’t overbuild – Launch fast, improve later
Talk to real users – Feedback made the platform better
Marketing matters – A great product is invisible without visibility
🚀 Try the Platform (And Save 20%)
