The Problem:
I wanted to solve two things:
1. Sustained Exploration: How to learn effectively over a long timeframe, avoiding the "one-night research binge" that fades away.
2. Discovery: How to find meaningful learning goals when creativity is limited. Users often struggle to see beyond their immediate bubble.
The Approach:
1. Meaningful Goals (Ikigai): Ambitious transformations (like career shifts) require huge commitment. I use an LLM to help users connect their passions to "World Needs" and "Monetization"-mapping personal interests to viable career paths.
2. Two Learning Modes:
- Topics: For quick exploration based on personalized interest suggestions.
- Plans: Comprehensive, multi-month curriculums with interactive tasks, detailed explanations, and practical examples. The goal is to provide a structured, approachable path to real mastery, including certificate proposals to prepare for professional transitions.
3. Daily Habit (Bites): To make execution possible, I built "Bites" 90-second sessions designed to lower the barrier to entry so much that 'starting' becomes the path of least resistance.
Technical Stack: React Native (Expo), Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL. Retention is handled by a modified SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm.
It’s a solo project. I'd love to hear feedback.
