At least their code is on github and you can inspect..

Fair enough. You can also build the binary yourself, since it's all open source. https://github.com/exercism/cli/releases

Looks like it just downloads/uploads plain data to the web service. I thought that in this age of internet technologies a web site would be enough.

What about curl, wget, httpie?
Or how about lynx or w3m?
Plenty of people want to utilize CLIs and it's definitely beneficial when learning to program to get as much experience on a command line as possible.

#9Extremely confusing website, are the exercises somewhere on the website or do I need to download an application or are the exercises on Github or what?
The screenshots make it look like CodeAcademy with messages/comments, but I can't find the exercises anywhere.

#10whats the purpose of a desktop app for this?
There's no desktop app. There's a CLI, a collection of problems and their respective tests, and a website for some collaborative code review.
