Learn something new every day — in the same time you'd spend doomscrolling. Swipe an endless feed of real encyclopedia articles, stop on whatever grabs you, and actually keep what you read. Most feeds are built to keep you numb. This one is built to make a fact stick. Every article you open can be turned into a short summary you'll finish, an explain-it-simply version when the topic is dense, a set of flashcards, or a quick quiz — so the thing you read at 11pm is still in your head next week. A daily streak, a reading goal in minutes, and a weekly report keep the habit honest. WHAT YOU GET - An endless feed of fascinating articles you can filter by topic — space, history, science, art, weird trivia - Long articles turned into a 1, 3, or 5-minute read, plus an "explain it simply" version and a "why it matters" take - Flashcards and multiple-choice quizzes generated from any article, so reading turns into remembering - Articles read aloud hands-free while you walk, cook, or commute - A personal library: bookmarks, named folders, and full reading history you can go back to - A daily streak, streak calendar, progress dashboard, and weekly report that show the habit adding up PERFECT FOR - Doomscrollers who want the same thumb habit to leave something behind - Students and lifelong learners who study best in five-minute pieces - Trivia and pub-quiz people stockpiling facts worth repeating - Anyone with a commute, a queue, or ten idle minutes to fill WHY NOT JUST BROWSE THE ENCYCLOPEDIA YOURSELF? Because a raw encyclopedia page is a wall of text with no reason to come back.
