A latticework of powerful ideas — audio-narrated, cross-linked map with spaced repetition. Learn in layers. Headed for the app stores.
01 · The Human Friction
Why this exists.
Most mental model collections are static lists or disjointed blog posts. People read a concept, nod along, and forget it within 48 hours. There was no interactive system that let you explore the graph of cognitive frameworks while retaining them through disciplined spaced repetition.
02 · The Solution
How it was built.
Designed a non-linear knowledge graph where every concept is a node linked to related models. Integrated layer-based learning (skim, understand, master), synchronized audio narration for commuter listening, and an adaptive spaced-repetition review queue based on the SM-2 algorithm.
03 · Engineering Highlights
Concrete Capabilities
- Cross-linked concept latticework with bidirectional relationship traversal
- Studio-grade audio narration recorded for every mental model node
- Automated spaced-repetition algorithm adapting to individual retention curves
- Offline-first mobile PWA ready for iOS and Android app stores
