Show HN: I built an app to learn anything I want during my school breaks

https://www.sophros.me
1•macraft•1h ago
Hey everyone,

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.

Here is the link: sophros.me

So what do you guys think? Would you use something like this?
