An open source, cross platform self paced learning app which gives you quizzes, text documents to read in a similar format to Wikipedia pages or Kinnu info slides, automatically revolving cards of text to glance at, a resizable and responsive UI that allows you to put it anywhere and still be useful, and an assistant to clarify information, chat with, and assist in creating documents to run in the app by using documents you feed it, which can be things like course work for uni or school, or informal self interests.
I have in fact wrote an app in python last year for a programming class that does the responsive UX design, the revolving text, and has a fair amount of settings (such as dark/light mode switching, text colour customisation, the ability for the window to be always on top and to remove the title bar when needed, and to import CSV files into the program to be part of the text reading database). I plan to continue adding features because I see it as a worthwhile endeavour since it assisted me in other highschool classes, and expanding it and making it available to anyone would be cool as hell.
Also everything will be locally ran because fuck the cloud, fuck SaaS and fuck tools that require internet to function.
Dood this sounds like such an amazing idea! Care to share (or collaborate)? This would fit right in with the other applications I’m developing and I would love to contribute
I’m currently pretty busy with university, so I won’t be able to be part of the development for some time, but I have the source code and files for my app so I’ll eventually upload it to either GitHub or gitlab. It’s also licensed under the GPLv3.
I don’t mind if you’d like to build your own one in the meantime, and even if neither of us end up contributing to each other’s projects, it’ll still mean there’s some more competition in locally ran FOSS education software, since features can be exchanged, improvements can be made based on comparison, and as a whole it improves the situation for people with alternative learning styles.
Also your projects seem pretty awesome, I like how they all have set use cases and don’t overly generalise.
