BightPath Knot Lab

BightPath Knot Lab is an offline-first knot-literacy studio for scouts, weekend sailors, gym climbers, camp counselors, and theater fly-crew volunteers. Name the working end. Finish the next wrap. Then load the line.

See the bight, standing part, and working end in color, then prove you can finish the next wrap before that knot goes on a live line.

This is not a tying diary, not a GPS log, and not a rope sandbox. Every knot is a seeded step sequence with next-wrap quizzes, lookalike traps, and job-based recommendations—no freeform canvas.

Thirty-six seeded lessons
Walk wrap by wrap with illustrations that keep the working end, bight, and standing part color-coded so you always know which part you are holding.

Next-wrap quizzes
Mid-knot stills offer four plausible finishes. Instant coaching copy explains a miss so lookalikes stop fooling you when it counts.

Lookalike trap bench
Practice the pairs that get mixed up under pressure: granny vs reef, bowline vs cowboy bowline, clove hitch vs constrictor.

Use-case matcher
Need a hitch, bend, or loop for a guyline, docking line, hammock, or backdrop? Get a recommendation for that job.

Misuse cards
Each knot states what it is not for. No rescue-certification claims. No medical advice. Honest limits so the wrong knot never goes on a live line.

Catalog and skill tree
Search and tag by hitch, bend, loop, stopper, and lashing families. Unlock outdoor ranks by completing seeded quizzes rather than keeping a personal tying journal.

Built for real conditions
TalkBack step announcements, high-contrast cord palettes, and extra-large Next Wrap targets. A knot-of-the-day widget with reminders. Offline catalog and on-device preferences for handedness, stepper speed, and contrast. No account required.

Practice the wrap. Prove it. Then load the line.
