A new experiment in visual and interactive learning: Gurwi 📚🌍

Hello everyone, I’m Camilo, an independent developer from Colombia. Over the past year, together with my friend Jonnier, I’ve been working on Gurwi—a visual, interactive, and multilingual learning app designed to make knowledge more accessible.

The motivation came from my own experience: I studied in a poor city in Colombia, where the education system often failed to engage students. School made learning feel like memorization without meaning, while books showed me that knowledge could be exciting and transformative. Gurwi was born from that contrast—the idea of bringing the clarity and joy of reading into short, interactive lessons.

Here’s how it works:

  • Lessons are 10–15 minutes long, concise and practical.
  • Each time you press continue, you unlock a new page with a visual or interactive resource and questions that encourage active learning.
  • The text can be played in audio, with the option to rewind or fast-forward.
  • You can switch between Spanish, English, and Portuguese, making it useful both for learning subjects and for practicing languages.
  • Current topics include math, history, economics, biology, and programming. All lessons cite their sources so learners can verify the information.

At the moment, there are only a few classes available, but we’re adding new ones every week. Our hope is that Gurwi can grow into not just an app, but a platform for learning and sharing knowledge worldwide.

If you’d like to see it:

I’d love to hear your perspective: Do you think tools like this can meaningfully complement formal education, or do they risk oversimplifying complex knowledge?
