Microlearning apps with a TikTok-style feed to beat doomscrolling
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)

What it does
Free microlearning apps that teach personal finance, AI literacy, and everyday knowledge in five minutes a day. One-minute lessons, deep dives, no ads.
Scroll is a family of microlearning apps for money, AI, and everyday knowledge. One topic per app, five minutes a day, turning the time you spend on your phone into something worth keeping. No ads, no bank logins, real depth when you want it. We grew up on the swipe. Scroll keeps the habit, the dopamine, and the rhythm, and swaps the content for things that pay you back. Each app is its own focused product. They share the same five-minute rhythm. Learn the one that matters most to you today, add another later. Short cards on the surface, real long-form when you want it. No infinite feed. No engagement traps. The session ends when you've learned the thing. No ads. No bank logins. No surprise…from usescroll.app

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
