Tutoic is a learning app that is
- easy
- addictive
- teaches knowledge
- teaches skill
- general (any topic)
No way of learning exists yet that meets all of these requirements. School is not easy, nor addictive. DuoLingo meets the first three, but its users can't talk the language it claims to teach. In Brilliant you have an active role and you have to push yourself to keep going, that is, it's not easy and addictive enough.
Tutoic throws out all assumptions and tradition we have in learning, and builds the learning process –training a human brain using software– up from first principles.
Currently beta access is closed because I'm in a bigger overhaul that was informed by last period of user tests.
Follow me if you're curious! All my followers I will invite for tests on the next iteration.

had a vvery nice demo showing the 
#tutoic v1 teaching engine to a friend. I look forward to the v2 engine working that smoothly, but with the advanced capabilities it will bring.
built role selection as a clause in my ORM queries, only to be reminded Hasura subscription queries do not support support changing role per query because they use Websockets for authentication (bad), and they don't support doing subscription queries over HTTP. Oh well. #tutoic
Refined the algorithm design on paper to include a detailed design for the just-in-time part of the training algorithm. Luckily it worked, and my earlier decisions were not wrong (likely because I've been adding few constraints beyond first principles), and the just in time design is now ready for implementation #tutoic
Started some work on higher level system of learning algorithm #tutoic. The planned algorithm is the right one because it can be very efficient with memoizing, but now I'm just implementing the simple lazy version so I can work it into the app and validate. Didn't build much but tomorrow there's no day job so will build much more.
Made a really nice breakthrough in the learning algorithm. The design is now finished in my head, all that's left is to execute. It's made of two systems: the high-level system and the low-level system. I've finished implementing the low-level system today. What's left is high-level and integration into the app. Implementation-wise the last of those three will be the most time-consuming. #tutoic
