xXTrade Learn: eight guides that ship as plain HTML

What shipped

Eight guides at /learn, all on 13 June 2026, across three commits (52f5a66, 7caf086, cd64145). They cover perpetual futures, trading gold with crypto, exclusive-stock perps on private companies, why after-hours trading is a worse deal than 24/7 markets, dark pools and off-exchange trading, what a Hyperliquid frontend actually is, how the 3D floor was built, and what a trading competition becomes inside a shared room.

Why they are not React pages

The xXTrade app preloads a large JavaScript bundle, because it is a trading terminal. A guide is not a trading terminal. Each Learn page is therefore a hand-written static HTML file with its own inline CSS, served straight from the filesystem through a rewrite — at launch they made no script and no stylesheet requests at all. Someone arriving from a search result gets text, immediately, on a bad connection, and the trading stack is never downloaded to serve them a paragraph.

Each guide carries its own title, description and canonical URL, plus Article and FAQPage structured data. None of that is generated: there is no build step behind /learn, which is the trade-off — adding a guide means writing a file.

Honest note on the dates

All eight were published on the same day and had not been revised since. That is visible in their markup and there is no point dressing it up: the Learn corpus was a batch, not a cadence. This news section exists so that what we ship actually gets written down when it ships.

Updated 3 September 2026: the Learn pages now load one external script — Google's preferred-source button. It is the first script any of them has ever requested, so the "no JavaScript" claim above is true of their launch and no longer true today.
