A fun primer on various subjects. It lacks some nuance in the content, but that's understandable considering the snackable format. It's great to pique your curiosity so you can then dive deeper into other sources yourself. The memory shield feature is useful, although I believe it would be much more effective if we were required to type in answers ourselves now and again to really test our knowledge, but I undertand the choice to not do that to keep things snappy.

While the app itself is 5/5, all paths I learned were lacking. The architecture path had very little images, which meant I often had to Google for a picture of what was being described. The Cold War path is very incoherent, jumping from the Cuban Missile Crisis to the Berlin Airlift to the Vietnam War, each of which got only five paragraphs so there's a lot of context missing. A timeline, more coherent introductions and more links between cards are a must and should be added.

Hi Jasper, we take pride in the quality of our content. We understand your critique of the Architecture pathway and are in fact in the process of adding more images to that pathway. We call the issues you describe around the Cold War pathway "the context-model problem" - we are solving it now and would love your help: https://discord.gg/SUxwJRdJM2.

It's a great app, I recommend it. I'm pretty sick, which means for me that learning is difficult since I don't have the mental capacity anymore, but with this I've been able to feel better about myself by learning small things in a reasonable way, and it holds me back from overwhelming myself. The information is presented in a pretty clear way, in small bits, and the questions are good and reasonably related to the topic.
