This learning tool turns learning content* into an organised, curriculum-like quiz experience. It makes sensible lessons, containing quiz questions and motivating you with progress! You can usually see all lessons at a glance on one page[

* a PDF (like a lecture slideshow), PPTX, Wiki page, or a Youtube video
- Each lesson has a topic-based emoji ()and shows a proportionate visual pie chart for your progress
- There is a single "unlocking" path, with 2 teaser lessons, which always gives you one simple "Next Step"
- And by viewing the overview, you can view a wall of Golded lessons to tell when you are nailing the recall-level understanding on the content.
The content/quiz questions are inspired by Active Recall (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006) and the Minimum Information Principle from Anki. And it's freemium with 2 free runs :) You can also highlight your PDFs for studying.
I built the lessons aspect with care, taking lessons from what hadn't worked before:
a) using something visually and uniquely memorable for you - a unique emoji chosen by AI for each lesson!
b) doing question generation -after- choosing sensible lessons, so questions are tailored to the PDF-specific lessons...
c) making it a "one-way learning path" was to make learning easier: previous semantic(vector DB-like) maps of concepts/trees were unencouragingly overengineered!
Fun fact on the name - "Revision" means "to study for an exam" in a lot of places, like the UK... less Stalinist, you see.
I have future plans ofcourse! Now I'd love feedback and thoughts - so do get me started on preprocessing or the psychology of learning... Let me know your thoughts.
I’d also like the ability to make flashcards directly from a webpage with the intermediate step of making a pdf.
Lastly, is spaced repetition on the roadmap, or is anki export the only way to get sr?
