Built an RPG-style System Design learning app because normal studying was getting painfully boring.

The idea is simple:

solve system design challenges

gain XP

level up

unlock harder systems

Currently focused only on HLD and still in MVP stage, but the core progression loop is working and I’ve started tracking analytics/events to understand user behavior.

Would genuinely love feedback from developers/builders on:

what feels interesting

what feels weak

what would make you keep using something like this daily

I turned System Design learning into an RPG game

I got tired of learning System Design and LLD through endless PDFs/videos, so I started building an RPG-style learning app for it.

The idea is basically:

- complete architecture/design challenges

- gain XP

- level up

- unlock harder concepts/systems

- make learning feel more like progression instead of studying

Right now it’s still an MVP:

- mostly frontend

- progression system works

- analytics/events added through Supabase

- core gameplay loop is functional

Would genuinely love feedback from people who are learning/interviewing for backend roles.

Especially interested in:

- what feels boring/confusing

- what would make you continue using it

- whether the RPG progression actually feels motivating

I’m building a small learning app (Knowfeed).

The idea is simple:

Instead of endlessly scrolling random content, you go through short paths that are meant to actually stick.

Earlier feedback I got:

“It’s interesting… but you won’t remember much.”

So I made some changes:

- added clear outcomes to each path

- introduced small reflection prompts

- improved flow so it feels like progression, not a feed

Now I’m trying to validate one thing:

👉 does this actually help you remember anything?

You can try it here:

https://know-feed.vercel.app

If you do, I’d really appreciate:

1. What did you actually remember after using it?

2. Where did you feel like dropping off?

Even a single line helps. Be as honest as you want.

I tried fixing “mindless scrolling” instead of fighting it.

Built a small app where you go through short learning paths instead of random content.

I’ve been improving it based on feedback (added outcomes, reflection prompts, better flow), and now I want to see if it actually works.

If you do, just tell me:

1. What did you actually remember after?

2. Where did you feel like dropping off?

Even one-line feedback helps a lot.
