I recently noticed a problem with my routine: whenever I had a short break at school or just a few free minutes I wasn't doing anything productive.
So I built an app that lets you learn literally anything you want during those short gaps in your day. You can learn about how to start a business, deep work, or even quantum mechanics.
Here is how it works: You choose a topic decide how many articles you want the course to be and pick how long they should be. The AI then generates a custom course for you.
I chose a daily article format over a traditional heavy course because I wanted to help build a habit. It’s specifically designed to be readable and easy to digest during quick 5-minute breaks even if it's loud around you.
I have a lot of ideas for expanding it but I want to see if this MVP resonates with anyone first.

So what do you guys think? Would you use something like this?
Another AI course generator when Khan Academy and Duolingo already exist.
Educational AI wrapper—Duolingo, Khan Academy AI, and paid tutors already own this space.
Topic-based conversation generator when Talkpal and Lingodeer already do this.
Bartending trainer with inventory-tracking—free competitor to paid apps, but crowded category.
Micro-learning unlock reframes distraction recovery productively, not just punitively.
It flips the doomscroll mechanic into a micro-learning loop with swipeable "Intel Cards" and a fun unlockable retro "Intel Archive" terminal for deep dives — neat UX framing. The no-login PWA and terminal aesthetic are clever hooks, but the concept is familiar; success will depend on content depth, retention mechanics (spaced repetition/personalization), and how sticky the loop actually is.
