Building Aulo: trying to solve tutorial hell for people learning to code

I’m building Aulo, a small app for people learning programming who keep jumping between tutorials without knowing what to study next.

The main bet is that beginners don’t need more content. They need a better progression loop.

Current flow:

Pick what you want to learn -> Get one focused next step -> Study it -> Answer a quick check
The roadmap adapts based on what you understood

I’m still early and trying to figure out the right positioning. Right now I’m debating whether to focus on:

Self-taught beginners or Bootcamp students or Devs learning a new stack or People preparing for interviews

Would love feedback from other builders: which audience sounds strongest, and what would you test first?

Also happy to connect with anyone building in education/dev tools.

Something that helped me avoid getting lost while self-studying coding

One thing I struggled with while learning programming was not knowing what to do after finishing a lesson.

I’d complete a tutorial, feel like I understood it, then immediately start looking for another course because I wasn’t sure what the actual next step should be.

The useful shift for me was treating learning less like “consume more content” and more like a progression loop:

What did I actually understand?
What still feels unclear?
Am I ready to move forward, or do I need to review a gap first?

That sounds basic, but it helped me avoid randomly jumping between topics.

I’m building a small app around this idea called Aulo. It gives one focused next step, asks a quick check after each lesson, and adjusts based on what you understood.

The app is free and I would love feedback from bootcamp students, grads, or people self-studying.

If you’re in this same stage, reach out. Maybe we can help each other.

Criei um app pra resolver “tutorial hell” e queria feedback de quem já lançou SaaS

Estou construindo o Aulo, um app pra quem está aprendendo programação e fica pulando entre tutorial, curso e vídeo sem saber o que estudar depois.

A ideia é simples: em vez de entregar mais conteúdo, ele dá um próximo passo focado, faz uma checagem rápida do que a pessoa entendeu e adapta o caminho com base nisso.

O problema que estou tentando validar é: muita gente que aprende sozinha não trava por falta de conteúdo, mas por falta de direção e continuidade.

Ainda está bem inicial, então queria feedback de quem já passou por validação/distribuição de SaaS: Isso parece um problema forte o suficiente? Vocês posicionariam mais para iniciantes em programação, bootcamps ou devs tentando evoluir? Faz sentido testar com ads ou tentar comunidade/conteúdo primeiro?

Se alguém também estiver nessa fase de validar um produto, me chama. Talvez a gente consiga trocar aprendizados.
