This is true. A first version of the app was launched 2 years ago.(Android only, manually created courses, webdev only).

Thank you
People often do their 10 minutes of daily fata.dev during their commute where mobile/offline access is ideal. The UX is optimized for mobile but you can also do it on your computer, it's a progressive web app that is installable as a desktop app:
I do ~10 minutes per day, wouldn't really make a difference in my AI productivity boost calculation (which 10-20% boost BTW)
Completely agree and I tried to avoid the Duolingo approach which optimizes for "engagement" over learning. I would love to hear any feedback you have after using the app for a bit: djoume [at] fata.dev
Very nice! I went with a different approach so that 1) I could make it usable on a phone and 2) It could work with any programming language/framework
Thank you. Try out this course and let me know what you think

For me I found that I learn best when I have a concrete use case.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I agree that people have tendencies towards certain interests, I can't remember a time where I wasn't interested about computers, even long before I had access to one.
That being said, people are also inspired by other people or by products, and there are ways to make the learning more effective.
No tools is going to turn you into a good engineer, fata makes it easier to practice regularly and it's that practice that will make you improve your skills
Thanks for the feedback. What similar app are you thinking of?
Does not happen often but now and then my basic x86/arm asm skills have been helpful to debug or just understand at a deeper level how something works.
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated, will fix the copy.
Rust, Go, Typescript, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, React, Dart, CSS for now. Rails is almost done, Django, fast API, JVM languages coming soon after.
You can try the first module of any course without login, all beginners courses are free after login, a subscription is required for advanced courses
I'm working on a Duolingo for programming languages and framework. Unlike Duolingo it's a real space repetition system
