Around 150 hours of CI, long videos started to feel like a chore and I found myself struggling to stay focused. LearnInCI was born from hitting that wall—an opinionated set of tools for Comprehensible Input learners. LearnInCI turns long videos into short, swipeable chunks, making CI feel as effortless as scrolling through your daily feed. What it does: • Breaks long videos into short, focused chunks • Helps you build a habit with lightweight stats tracking • Designed to fit naturally into your routine No fancy features. No gamification. Just a small tool for the long journey. It’s still early, and I’m building this for a small group of learners including myself. Expect regular content updates and new features. See you at 1000. Privacy Policy: https://learninci.glitch.me/privacy-policy User Agreement: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
