ScrollMind

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…

ScrollMind launched on January 8, 2026 with 8 votes, #1,339 of 14,584 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches.

What it does

What is ScrollMind? It's a social media feed where every post is a visual lesson. Features include scroll-based learning (productive scrolling like Twitter/Reddit), an Intro to AI Course covering 12 concepts from neurons to overfitting across 100+ posts, and a visual-first design with interactive diagrams instead of walls of text. It's completely free and aims to help developers become builders. I'd love your feedback! Happy scrolling! 🚀

Master AI through bite-sized visual lessons in a scrollable feed. Free course, no signup wall. Built for engineers.

Master AI concepts through a bite-sized scroll feed. Visual explanations, memes, quizzes — no lectures, no prerequisites. From classical ML to neural networks to the full AI landscape — understand training loops, overfitting, and the three paradigms of learning through bite-sized visual lessons. Diffusion, latent space, CLIP, U-Nets, ControlNet — the entire pipeline behind every AI-generated image, demystified. Understand what's really happening inside large language models — from tokenization and attention to training, alignment, and hallucinations. 9 chapters. 50+ custom visuals. Real explanations, not stock art. You learn better by seeing concepts in action, not just reading equations.…from scrollmind.ai

    Hi HN, I'm Dom, a solo founder. I built Second Brain to solve a common issue I had with AI chats: the knowledge disappears. There’s no structure, no memory, and no way to reuse or build on them. So I built a tool that combines AI chat with a visual, interconnected knowledge system. Key features: - Save AI responses into editable docs (Notion-style Pages). - AI Visual board with multiple content & chat nodes (like Miro meets ChatGPT). - Add and chat with YouTubes, TikToks, Audio, PDFs, GitHub repos, Looms, websites, etc. - Organize using Projects and Smart Tags — then chat with full contexts.…

    I'm a teacher and built an AI presentation tool2025 · ▲260

    Hi, I'm a high school teacher from Australia and I've built what I'd like to think is a pretty nifty ChatGPT powered presentation tool for teachers. I'd love it if you could have a look at it and give me some of your feedback. I don't think there's much overlap with the HN crowd and school teachers, but I've been coming here for many years and thought I'd post here and see what you all think. Check it out if you have a minute and I'd be super happy to hear your feedback too. https://www.slidehero.ai/ You can jump in and have a play with the tool all you like ;) Cheers, Eli

    Hey HN, We’re the team behind HelpingAI, and we’ve been experimenting with ways to make LLM reasoning faster and more efficient, especially for complex tasks like math problems, coding questions, and logic puzzles. During a fine-tuning session of our older reasoning model, a bug accidentally introduced a think tag mid-response. Rather than break the model, it created a chain-of-thought style intermediate step — and the model got better. That bug inspired us to explore what we now call Intermediate Reasoning. We scaled this up by fine-tuning Qwen3-14B on 3 trillion tokens of…

    Hi HN! I built aifeed as a simple, real-time feed for AI-related links. It's meant for following new tools, articles and projects as they appear. You can also save interesting links to your favorites so they don't get lost. Submissions are community-driven, with light moderation and a small fee to reduce spam. Happy to hear any feedback.

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
