doomscroll vs Skim

Turn any GitHub repo into a deck of swipeable code cards. Master codebases through spaced repetition — the same technique used to learn languages, now applied to code. HOW IT WORKS • Paste any public GitHub repo URL • We extract the key functions, types, and patterns • Swipe right if you understand it, left to see it again • Cards resurface using spaced repetition until you master them FEATURES • Supports TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Rust, Go, and Swift • Syntax-highlighted code cards with context • Three-tier mastery system: unseen → learning → mastered • Streak tracking to build a daily learning habit • Per-repo progress saved locally • Recent repos for quick access • Beautiful dark interface built for focused reading • Haptic feedback on every interaction WHY DOOMSCROLL Reading code is hard. Codebases are overwhelming. doomscroll breaks repos into digestible cards and uses spaced repetition to make the knowledge stick. Swipe right when you get it. Swipe left to see it again. Swipe up to skip. Master a card after 3 correct swipes. All data stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no tracking.

Pick how you want to learn: Deep Understanding, ELI5, Memorize, or Quick Review. Skim's AI breaks the document into bite-sized cards in that mode. Upload any document — PDF, Word, PowerPoint, plain text, or Markdown and get tailored cards. Swipe any term to ask Skim about anything unclear, quiz yourself to see what stuck, and track your progress along the way. Same dopamine, actually useful. HOW IT WORKS 1.

Quiz yourself to see what actually stuck 5. Track your streak and watch your progress unlock GREAT FOR • Students prepping for exams or working through textbooks • Researchers digesting papers and reports • Professionals navigating contracts, briefs, manuals, and decks • Self-learners working through online courses and books • Anyone who's collected docs they meant to read FOUR WAYS TO LEARN • Deep Understanding — comprehensive, concept-first • ELI5 — plain language and analogies • Memorize — quiz-dense, atomic facts for recall • Quick Review — punchlines only, for the refresh ASK SKIM ANYTHING Tap any term in a card for an instant explanation.
