Show HN: Learnprints – a full learning OS I built solo on nights and weekends

https://learnprints.ca
1•Jessyabc•1h ago
I’m 25, work full-time at my family’s cabinetry company, and spent the last 9 months solo-building Learnprints (learnprints.ca) on nights and weekends with a ~$2,500 budget and a lot of searching and learning.

The frustration that started it: every learning tool I tried was optimized for engagement, not understanding. Anki is great but gives you no structure. Notion is a graveyard. AI chatbots answer questions but don’t build knowledge.

I wanted something that actually closed the loop.

What Learnprints does: You give it any topic — quantum mechanics, corporate tax law, Renaissance art, anything — and it generates a Learnprint: a research-grade structural blueprint of that topic. Not a summary. A map of how the concepts relate, what the invariants are, what you need to understand before you can understand the next thing.

From there it’s a full loop: ∙ AI chatbot to clarify any concept inside the blueprint ∙ Spaced repetition that forces understanding, not memorization ∙ A cognitive mirror that builds a learning profile from how you actually practice ∙ A practice hub where you can upload assignments, get an AI tutor, draw on a canvas, and get passive feedback on your scratch work via vision AI

The whole thing is designed around one idea: depth compounds. A Learnprint you build today makes every future thing you learn in that domain faster.

The stack (full transparency): ∙ Frontend: Lovable, Cursor, Claude - Opus and Sonnet and a bit of Codex (AI-assisted React) ∙ Backend: Supabase (Postgres + Edge Functions) ∙ AI: GPT-5.2 for vision, GPT-4o-mini and GPT-5.2 for tutor and segmentation/structuring, LlamaParse for document extraction, Perplexity for the research layer ∙ Hosting: Vercel

What I’m looking for: Launching at $15/month (CAD) with a goal of 10 paying users in 30 days. I have no marketing background — I’m a salesperson by day job and a builder by obsession. Roast the product, roast the pricing, tell me what’s missing. I can handle it. I want to improve and provide the educational tools I needed when I was in school to everybody.

Founder here. A few things I couldn’t fit in the post: Here’s what the app looks like: https://imgur.com/a/1Z6sjVP

Honest state of the product: the core loop is built and working — blueprints, spaced rep, practice hub with AI tutor and vision-based canvas feedback. Shipped the practice hub this week. Rough in places, I’m one person.

Why $15/month: I wanted to price it as a serious tool. If it doesn’t save you more than $15 in tutoring or wasted study time it’s not doing its job.

Happy to go deep on any technical decisions or the product philosophy in the thread.
