We are building GitHub for Education
Dear HN, Today we're launching a massive update(0.3.0) to our AI facilitated inquiry based learning app, SocratiQ. Our first users are learning everything from Electrodynamics to Single-cell evolution to World History. We are now making it easier for them to understand where they stand and share their learning with others. 1. Insights: SocratiQ now shows your learning insights with a learning map (Like GitHub's Contribution Chart) and Topic Mastery across your explorations. 2. Teach the World Project: You can now publish your workspace for others to "fork" and continue their exploration. We…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Dear HN, Today we're launching a massive update(0.3.0) to our AI facilitated inquiry based learning app, SocratiQ. Our first users are learning everything from Electrodynamics to Single-cell evolution to World History. We are now making it easier for them to understand where they stand and share their learning with others. 1. Insights: SocratiQ now shows your learning insights with a learning map (Like GitHub's Contribution Chart) and Topic Mastery across your explorations. 2. Teach the World Project: You can now publish your workspace for others to "fork" and continue their exploration. We believe that LLMs have opened the door for super-important ideas in EdTech. For example, inquiry based learning was always prohibitively expensive because you need highly skilled humans providing feedback at critical junctures. We are using this opportunity to democratize access to inquiry based learning for everyone. SocratiQ offers rich text/media notes for teachers to create / curate reference material. The learners can then study on their own or with their peers, getting personalized feedback / lessons / guides. Teachers can add notes to the student responses or AI questions / feedback to offer further clarification or guidance. Students can take rich notes, collect reference material in the app. We are also building more course creation and study tools into the platform. Teachers / Students can publish their exploration for the world to view, learn from or continue their exploration. In short GitHub for education. We firmly believe this is a very plausible future of textbooks, homework and assignments if not classrooms. What do you think?

I am aged 11 and founder of https://sprout9.net/ a platform for students to find great tutors. Please forgive me if I get this wrong and post it incorrectly. I would like fellow hackers to give me some constructive feedback on my MVP please. Ideas and suggestions as how I can improve my version 1.0 and how I can get the word out so I can help many students as possible. Thanks alot! Azaan

Hi HN, I'm a solo developer learning to code, and I'd love to share my second real project: MapMyLearn, an AI-powered app that automatically generates personalized learning paths based on any topic you input. What it does: Takes a topic (e.g. "history of capitalism", "learn Rust", or "data storytelling") Uses AI to break it down into a structured course with modules and submodules Each submodule includes: - Detailed, pedagogical content (developed based on online sources to mitigate hallucinations) - A quiz of 10 questions - Recommended resources - An AI chatbot for Q&A - Optional audio…
- IBI built a tool that helps you understand new codebases faster2025 · repoiq.be · ▲7
After years of struggling with onboarding to new projects, I got tired of spending weeks just trying to grasp the basics of a codebase. The README rarely tells the whole story, and "just read the code" isn't practical for large repos. I built RepoIQ to create personalized learning paths through any GitHub repository. It analyzes the codebase structure, identifies key components, and creates a step-by-step guide tailored to your learning needs.

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
