CodeCub teaches you Python in tiny, deterministic lessons โ€” then makes sure you actually remember it. WHAT IT DOES โ€ข Bite-size Python: 54 hand-written lessons across 10 tracks, each just a few minutes long. โ€ข Real, instant checks: predict the output, fill the blank, order the lines, or pick the answer โ€” graded on-device, deterministically. No AI guessing, no running your code. โ€ข Spaced repetition that works: a true SM-2 scheduler brings each concept back exactly when you're about to forget it, so it sticks for good. โ€ข A real path: lessons unlock in order as you master their prerequisites, from print() all the way to classes and regex. โ€ข Streaks, XP and a daily review reminder to keep the habit going.
