What it does
Your skills are fading. SkillFade shows you. We consume tutorials but rarely practice. SkillFade tracks what other apps ignore: 📉 Learning Decay — Skills degrade daily without reinforcement ⚖️ Input/Output Imbalance — See your learning-to-practice ratio 🎯 Practice Scarcity — Know which skills need real application No gamification. No streaks or badges—just honest data. Privacy-first. No third-party analytics. Full data export. Calm design. Never pushy. Weekly emails max.
SkillFade is a skill decay tracking application for developers and self-directed learners. Track learning decay, practice scarcity, and input/output imbalance. A calm mirror, not a coach. Free and open source.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.

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
