I wanted to kick my doomscrolling habit, so I built a microlearning app that uses a TikTok-style algorithm, same addictive feed mechanics, but you actually learn something. I started with a general version, Scroll: Daily Microlearning (microlearning.usescroll.app), but quickly realised it works better when focused on a single topic. So I split it into: Scroll: Personal Finance (https://finance.usescroll.app) Scroll: Learn AI (https://ai.usescroll.app) Scroll: Daily Microlearning (https://microlearning.usescroll.app)

Hi HN, I built https://rebrain.gg. It's a website which is intended to help you learn new things. I built it for two reasons: 1. To play around with different ways of interacting with a LLM. Instead of a standard chat conversation, the LLM returns question forms the user can directly interact with (and use to continue the conversation with the LLM). 2. Because I thought it would be cool to have a site dedicated to interactive educational content instead of purely consuming content (which I do too much). An example of a (useful-for-me) interactive conversation is:…

Hello HN, I’m the solo developer behind ScrollMind. I built this because I was frustrated with the two extremes of learning AI: Academic Textbooks: 50 pages of Greek notation before you write a single line of code. Hype Twitter/YouTube: "Build an LLM in 5 minutes" tutorials that skip all the engineering fundamentals. I wanted something in the middle: Engineering intuition. What is it? ScrollMind is an interactive guide to Neural Networks that works like a social media feed. Instead of 2-hour lectures, the content is broken down into bite-sized "posts"—diagrams, interactive quizzes, and…

I built this PWA to fix my own attention span. It turns the "doomscroll" mechanic into a micro-learning loop for Game Theory, Psychology, and Strategy (e.g., Winner's Curse, OODA Loop). Instead of infinite feeds of noise, you swipe through high-signal "Intel Cards." As you progress, you unlock a hidden "Intel Archive" which switches to a retro-terminal UI for deep-dive reading. Tech stack is React/Vite. No login required to try the core loop.

Hi HN, Would love your thoughts on Open Paper Digest. It’s a mobile feed that let’s you “doomscroll” through summaries of popular papers that were published recently. Backstory There’s a combination of factors lead me to build this: 1. Quality of content social media apps has decreased, but I still notice that it is harder than ever for me to stay away from these apps. 2. I’ve been saying for a while now that I should start reading papers to keep up with what’s going on in AI-world. Initially, I set out to build something solely for point 2. This version was more search-focussed, and…
