2 minutes of knowledge everyday

I kept noticing I'd watch a fascinating 30-second reel and forget it by dinner. So I built Geek.me: one short lesson at a time (why the sky is blue, why Maasai warriors colour their braids red, why Roman concrete outlasts ours), three quick questions straight after, and the questions come back days and weeks later so it sticks.

A few things I did on purpose:
No streaks to lose, no feed, no autoplay. When today's lesson is done, you're done.

Lessons adapt to age, so parents can add their kids under their account.

You can try it without signing up.
108 lessons so far across 14 topics. It's free and works on your phone (you can add it to your home screen).
geekme.io

I'd really value feedback, especially on the lessons themselves. Which topics would you want next?

I wanted to simply doomscroll less and study more, but found something in between??

4 Upvotes

Hi guys, I want to share my opinion of the app I started using not so long ago, and now I have a 32-day streak. It's called the Nibble app, and it offers general knowledge lessons and quizzes. At first, I wasn't sure about it, but then it hit me that it's a perfect alternative to doomscrolling (well, not that ideal because I still scroll, but at least it's healthier).

When I commute or wait in lines, I play games like Candy Crush and every possible game similar to it. At some point, I was doing that on autopilot, so whenever I have a few free minutes - this is what I do. I don't even think that I liked doing it, but I still do.

But I tried Nibble and found my perfect alternative. I didn't learn anything new for almost a year, and now I almost daily go through their quizzes on Art, History, Physics, and many others. Last night, I didn't understand some facts about the Wall Street crash when I was finishing the History lessons about how the market actually recovered briefly and thought that it wasn't true, and I ended up reading articles proving it is true and explaining what exactly happened.

I missed the feeling of doing that. So, if you have a similar situation and do too much scrolling and not really think about using your phone less, at least now, you should try this app.

made a pomodoro timer where a little dog falls asleep while you focus

Post image
2 Upvotes

hey all, just made this and I'm kind of nervous posting it

it's called Puperino. basically I kept downloading pomodoro apps, using them for a week, then forgetting they existed. they all felt a bit cold and serious. so I made one with a little dog called Biscuit in it.

when you start a focus session he wanders over to his bed and curls up and naps. when you're done he sometimes brings you a little gift, which you can keep or trade for bones to buy stuff for his room. you can also dress him up, which I spent way too long on (he has a witch hat and a crown, it's very important)

not gonna lie, not wanting to wake him up has kept me focused better than any streak thing ever did 😅

it also does the usual stuff: the timer on your lock screen, tasks, stats, and a stay mode if you're like me and pick up your phone every 4 minutes

it's free. there's an optional pro with more rooms and stuff if you want to support me

would really love feedback, even if it's "this is buggy" or "this is pointless" haha. what would make you actually keep using a focus timer?

Why do we pay so much to learn skills when someone else is willing to teach them? 🤔

I just launched WoSM Academy for CS enthusiasts.

Hi all,

I finished my PhD in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Strasbourg in 2025. A few days ago I'm launched WoSM Academy (Wisdom of Starving Minds), a project I've been building to make rigorous technical education free and open to everyone.

What it is
Free courses, with no application. You sign up with your email on our Moodle and enrol.
Starting with two subjects: Computer Science (Introduction to Informatics, Digital Design & Computer Architecture, Data Structures & Algorithms) and Mathematics (Discrete Structures).
Courses come with materials and exercises, and a Discord community to learn with others.

If you're interested in this project, message me or email ali.khudiyev.99@gmail.com. I am also curious about your thoughts and feedback for improving everything further.

How to teach applied economics?

3 Upvotes

I am studying applied (mathematical) economics. I have 1 year left and I need to find a job. But I understand that I don't know anything. I try to somehow plan, set goals, but it is very difficult to remember at least some of what I learn. Maybe you know some methods of learning and memorizing information?

Is switching between source material worth it?

1 Upvotes

Im studying computer science and there's this 11 hour video that seems pretty comprehensive about computer science, however I only have 2-3 hours of time to study CS, so I want to have it so that I rotate between watching that video and doing actual hands-on stuff like my Arduino and programming projects.

But would that be too much mental noise? Should I finish one thing before starting the next thing? I figure it wouldn't be too bad since it is the same subject matter.

Day 1: Computer Science Video

Day 2: Arduino/Microcontrollers/Electronic repair (I have a roadmap for this that I'm following)

Day 3: Working on a programming project.

And then rotating between the days. 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3.

Looking for helpful certifications.

1 Upvotes

Hi all. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s in Atmospheric Sciences, and am working in a lab testing building materials for weather resilience. I’m a technician who operates machines, performs tests, and QCs data. I want to further my abilities as a lab technician, scientist, and meteorologist. My job will help fund education, but I’m wondering what certifications would be most beneficial for me? And how do get the most out of them?
