Stop Reading. Start Seeing. Algorithms finally click when you watch the data move. Algora turns 11 core computer-science algorithms into interactive, step-by-step animations you control β€” and explains the reasoning behind every important step. EVERY ALGORITHM, FIVE WAYS - LEARN β€” a plain-English breakdown, an everyday analogy, and its speed/memory character. - VISUALIZE β€” play, pause, step forward and back at 0.5Γ—, 1Γ—, or 2Γ—, with the β€œwhy” behind key moves. - PLAYGROUND β€” feed in your own data (or a preset that exposes a worst case) and run it. - QUIZ β€” lock in what you learned with next-step and complexity questions. - PATTERN β€” the core strategy, its strengths, and its constraints on one card. WHAT’S INSIDE - Sorting: Bubble, Selection, Insertion, Merge, Quick - Searching: Linear, Binary - Trees & Graphs: Breadth-First Search, Depth-First Search - Interview Patterns: Two Pointers, Sliding Window BUILT FOR - CS students who want intuition, not just pseudocode - Bootcamp learners filling the fundamentals gap - Anyone prepping for technical interviews who’s tired of re-reading the same explanations WHY IT WORKS Reading about Quick Sort tells you what a pivot is. Watching the pivot get placed β€” step by step, at your speed, with the reasoning on screen β€” is how it sticks. Every number in every animation reflects the real algorithm state. Nothing is faked. FREE TO START Bubble Sort, Binary Search, and BFS are free forever, plus a preview of every locked algorithm’s quiz. Unlock the full library with Algora Pro: $4.99/month, $29.99/year (save 50%), or $49.99 lifetime β€” one-time payment, yours forever.

About

Genau

Features
Read full description

Genau is German vocabulary for English speakers, built on spaced repetition. It shows you each word at the moment you are about to forget it β€” and keeps every other word out of your way until its moment comes. A few German words a day. That is the whole ask. WHY THE GAPS MATTER Looking at a word repeatedly works briefly, then it goes. What lasts is recalling a word after a gap long enough that recalling it took effort. Genau finds that gap for every word separately: a word you find easy drifts further out of the way, and a word that keeps catching you comes back sooner β€” without you ever telling the app which is which. Two people learning the same list end up with two different schedules. That is the point. WHAT YOU GET β€’ Hand-checked German ⇄ English words, A1 through B2 β€’ The plural of every noun, the past and perfect of every verb, the case after every preposition β€” labelled in plain English, never in notation β€’ Separable verbs shown split, so you can see where the word breaks β€’ An example sentence on every word β€’ Every word spoken aloud, in one clear voice, recorded slowly on purpose β€’ Works offline after the first sign-in β€’ Your progress follows your account onto any device WHAT IT COUNTS A count of words you know, with no percentage anywhere. A word counts as known once you can go three weeks without it β€” earned, and impossible to game. One chart of cards a day: the week behind you, today, and the week ahead. The days behind are the record of showing up. The days ahead are where you watch the method work, as the daily load falls and the words mature. LEVELS AND PRICE All four levels β€” A1, A2, B1 and B2 β€” are open and free while Genau is in beta. Every word, no card limit, nothing held back. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No streaks to break. No lives, no gems, no leaderboards, no mascot. No ads. It will not let you grind ahead either: recalling a word you can already recall easily teaches you almost nothing, and selling you effort that buys nothing is not what this is for. It does not listen to you, and it has no microphone. Genau is what a German says when you finally get it right.
