Note app took me from academic probation to honor roll in one semester

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Eventually it dawned on me that I needed to take better notes that I could also reference and search through later. I built GPASpike: http://gpaspike.com Download link: http://gpaspike.com/download I created my first version over Christmas break last year, and got a 4.0 in the spring. I started to notice that all my classes very heavily built upon each other and I needed a way to keep those class notes very accessible. Since all of my classes by that point were economics based, I also needed something that could easily allow for math symbols and graphs, so I built something I could draw on. This will be ported to a webapp soon also. Also - I just realized how tiny the video is. I am working on making a new that one is larger.

    Grokkoli – an individualized/adaptive math-tutoring web app2021 · ▲13

    Hi All - I'm Eric, and I’ve been working on a math-tutoring application that continually adapts to a child’s learning needs as they answer questions: www.grokkoli.com/beta (introduces new concepts in granular steps, figures out where/how learners might be confused & attempts to resolve it, speeds kids past the stuff they understand clearly, tracks their recall, answer-speed, and more). Currently in beta, looking for families with kids in grades 1-6 to beta-test. Especially interested in taking on families that are finding math to be a challenge. Happy to share more details if…
