    <h2 class="reveal">Our Mission</h2>
    <p class="reveal">
      At <strong style="color:var(--bright);">AcadTools.Online</strong>, our mission is to democratize academic planning.
      We believe that every student — regardless of their institution, financial background, or country —
      deserves access to accurate, reliable, and completely free tools to track their academic journey.
      From a student in Lahore calculating their semester GPA to a PhD candidate in London predicting
      their final CGPA, we are here for all of you.
    </p>
    <p class="reveal">
      GPA tracking is not just a number — it determines scholarship eligibility, graduate school admissions,
      honour roll standing, and in many cases, a student's entire career trajectory. Yet most students still
      calculate it manually on paper or with error-prone spreadsheet formulas.
      <strong style="color:var(--bright);">We built AcadTools to change that.</strong>
    </p>

    <h2 class="reveal">The Problem We Solve</h2>
    <p class="reveal">
      Every educational system handles grades differently. Some institutions use a 4.0 scale, others use
      a 5.0, a 10-point scale, or a percentage system. Some weight AP and Honors courses differently.
      Some calculate CGPA cumulatively while others recalculate per semester. Students who transfer between
      universities or countries face a nightmare of conversions.
    </p>
    <p class="reveal">
      When students search for <em style="color:var(--acid);">"GPA kaise calculate karte hain"</em> (how to
      calculate GPA) or <em style="color:var(--acid);">"CGPA calculator Pakistan"</em>, they deserve to find
      something that actually works — immediately, accurately, and without paywalls. That is exactly

        <div class="team-name">Hassan Anwar</div>
        <div class="team-role">Founder &amp; Lead Developer</div>
        <p class="team-bio">
          Hassan built AcadTools out of a personal necessity — frustrated by manually calculating his GPA
          across multiple semesters with different grading schemes, he decided to build the solution himself.
          What started as a single GPA calculator quickly grew into a full academic toolkit used by thousands
          of students worldwide. Hassan focuses on combining cutting-edge design (the DevKit system) with
          mathematical precision and speed. He actively reads every piece of user feedback and personally
          ships most updates. You can reach him directly through the
          <a href="/contact">Contact page</a>.

      </div>
    </div>

    <h2 class="reveal">Our Technology</h2>
    <p class="reveal">
      AcadTools is built as a static, fast-loading web application using pure HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript.
      This means there are no slow frameworks, no bloated runtimes, and no dependency on any third-party
      services for core calculations. Everything runs in your browser — your data never leaves your device
      unless you create a free account to save your results.
    </p>
    <p class="reveal">
      Our UI is built on the <strong style="color:var(--bright);">DevKit design system</strong> — a custom
      dark-first component library featuring animated backgrounds, glassmorphism elements, and neon accent
      colours. Performance is a top priority: pages load in under a second on any connection, and all
      calculators produce results in under a millisecond.
    </p>

    <h2 class="reveal">Our Story</h2>
    <p class="reveal">
      AcadTools was founded in early 2026. The original version was a single HTML page with one calculator.
      After receiving hundreds of messages from students asking for more tools, more grading systems, and
      a way to save and compare results, the project grew into the full-featured platform you see today.
    </p>
    <p class="reveal">
      The name "AcadTools" is a fusion of <em style="color:var(--acid);">Academic</em> and
      <em style="color:var(--acid);">Tools</em> — exactly what it is. No fancy branding or vague startup
      jargon. Just honest, functional tools for the academic world.

    <div class="faq-list reveal">

      <div class="faq-item">
        <div class="faq-question">Is AcadTools.Online completely free?
          <span class="faq-chevron">⌄</span>
        </div>
        <div class="faq-answer">
          Yes, entirely. All 8 calculators and every feature on the platform are free to use without
          registration. Creating an account adds bonus features like saving your calculations and
          viewing your GPA history, but the core tools will always remain free forever.
        </div>
      </div>

      <div class="faq-item">
        <div class="faq-question">Do I need to create an account to use the calculators?
          <span class="faq-chevron">⌄</span>
        </div>
        <div class="faq-answer">
          No. All calculators work instantly without an account. Simply open the tool, enter your data,
          and get your result. An account is only needed if you want to save your results, track trends
          over multiple semesters, or set GPA goals on your personal dashboard.
        </div>
      </div>

      <div class="faq-item">
        <div class="faq-question">How accurate are the GPA calculations?
          <span class="faq-chevron">⌄</span>
        </div>
        <div class="faq-answer">
          Extremely accurate. All formulas are based on the standard GPA calculation method: (Grade Points × Credit Hours) summed and divided by total credit hours. This is the same formula used by virtually every accredited university in the United States, Canada, UAE, and Pakistan. Results are calculated to 2 decimal places and double-checked against multiple university official calculators.

      <div class="faq-item">
        <div class="faq-question">Which countries and grading systems does AcadTools support?
          <span class="faq-chevron">⌄</span>
        </div>
        <div class="faq-answer">
          Our tools primarily support the 4.0 GPA scale used in the US, Canada, Pakistan (HEC), and
          UAE universities, as well as percentage-to-GPA conversion. We also support weighted GPA for
          AP/IB/Honors courses common in US high schools. If your institution uses a grading scale we
          don't currently support, let us know through our Contact page and we'll add it.

          <span class="faq-chevron">⌄</span>
        </div>
        <div class="faq-answer">
          Yes, AcadTools.Online is committed to keeping all core calculators free. The project is
          currently self-funded by Hassan Anwar as a contribution to the student community. In the
          future, we may introduce optional premium features (like advanced analytics or exports) for
          those who want to support the platform, but the core experience will never be paywalled.

          Absolutely. All GPA calculations run entirely in your browser — no data is sent to any server
