    Hey HN! I’m excited to show you my app that lets you learn any topic in a structured, bite-sized way. Each lesson has an audio version, some visuals, and interactive quizzes. They’re personalized to your background and goals, and you can pick a concept inside a lesson and ask it to go deeper. When my co-founder was at NotebookLM, he realized the biggest bottlenecks in learning are that people don’t have time or feel like they’re not smart enough. We wanted to see if software can take the mental load of figuring out what resources to use and what order to learn them in, and make lessons easy…

Each day, it presents the user with a new fact or piece of knowledge about anything from history and science to art and culture.

    Save All uses quizzes, notifications, and emails to stop you forgetting what you've learned. Unlike other spaced repetition apps, we've (really) prioritised making Save All as simple as possible - minimalist design, no distractions, and minimal cognitive load placed on users. We achieve this simplicity by using machine learning (e.g. large language models like BERT, GPT) to reduce the number of decisions users have to make. You don't have to decide whether you remembered a card, we know whether you did. You don't have to decide how to be quizzed on your information, we'll decide for you.…

    Itsumo is a language learning app that generates short lessons from stories about topics you choose, at your level. Instead of working through a fixed curriculum or another flashcard deck, you can make a lesson about whatever happens to be interesting to you that day, with audio, tappable words, and grammar notes.

It supports Japanese, Polish, Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and Italian. I built it because…
