Didacu – The fastest way to learn something new

Hi HN,

I built didacu because I kept bookmarking articles and tutorials I never read. The friction of learning something new hasn't kept up with the speed of everything else.

You type what you want to learn. You get an interactive course in seconds with slides, quizzes, images, and cited sources. You can also drop in a PDF or image and it turns it into a course.

The courses are designed around short-form slides you swipe through, one concept at a time. No walls of text. Quizzes are woven in so you're testing yourself as you go, not just passively reading.

There's a Claude Code skill (`/didacu-create-course`) that generates courses from your terminal. Onboarding onto a new repo? Generate a course from the codebase. Need to understand unfamiliar documentation? Drop it in and get a structured walkthrough. The best moment to learn something is when you need it.

Credit-based, not subscription. A full course costs about $2 at the best tier. Free tier gives 1 credit/week (free courses are shared publicly). Credits only deduct on successful generation.

What's different from just reading docs or asking a chatbot: The output is a structured, navigable course. Not a wall of text you have to parse. Every source is cited and clickable. Quizzes test retention. And you can tap any concept and a focused deep-dive course generates instantly.

Available on web, mobile app (closed beta), and the CLI skill. Multi-language (English, Spanish, Portuguese).

Solo founder, bootstrapped, launched on Product Hunt today.

Would love feedback from HN on the course quality. Try a technical topic you actually want to learn.
