Hi everyone! 👋

I'm a computer science student, and I've been building this project called RetainHQ.

When I learn online, I usually face two problems:

• Learning resources are scattered.
• Even after finishing lessons, I forget a lot of what I learned.

So I decided to build a platform that combines structured roadmaps, lessons, and active recall in one place.

The idea is:

📍 Choose a roadmap (for example, Python Software Engineering)

📖 Learn one topic at a time with lessons

🧠 Before moving on, recall what you learned by answering questions from memory instead of just reading the solution.

The screenshot shows the recall page after completing a lesson.

I'm still building it, so I'd really appreciate your feedback.

• Does the overall idea make sense?
• Would you use a roadmap like this instead of watching random YouTube videos?
• Does the recall page look simple enough, or would you change something?

Thanks for checking it out! 😊

For a long time, I thought I had a learning problem.

I would watch courses, read blogs, take notes, and even complete projects.

But after a few weeks or months, I realized I couldn't remember most of what I had learned.

Then I asked myself:

What if the real problem isn't learning? What if it's forgetting?

That question made me start building RetainHQ.

I'm not trying to build another platform with thousands of lessons.

I'm trying to build a system that helps me remember what I learn through regular reviews instead of just consuming more content.

I'm still a student, and I'm learning a lot while building this project. I'll be sharing my journey, the mistakes I make, the engineering decisions behind the product, and everything I learn along the way.

If you've ever felt like you keep learning but still forget most of it after a few weeks, I'd love to know how you deal with it.
