I struggled with learning new things… so I built something to help me

A while back I noticed something weird. I'd spend hours every day doom scrolling Reddit, YouTube, Instagram... and feel bad that I didn’t really learn anything. And when I wanted to learn, I'd run into the same problem. "What should I even learn today?"
Wikipedia is amazing, but opening it without something specific in mind is like walking into the world's biggest library and hoping a random bookshelf has the coolest information ever. Anywhoos, long story short, instead of learning something, I channeled my inner engineer (and because I have mild ADHD) to build an app. The original idea was simple: every day you'd get one interesting topic to learn about. That's it. As I kept working on it (and after plenty of brutally honest feedback from my wife), it slowly turned into something much bigger and frankly the coolest thing ever (Im totally not biased here)

Now it has professionally written bite-sized articles (5 mins or less to read), audio versions you can listen to like a mini podcast, daily facts, word games, and a bunch of topics across science, history, space, technology, food, and more.

It's honestly become part of my morning routine over my morning latte, and I've learned way more random things than I ever expected.

If I’ve caught your attention, and you’re intrigued to check out what this crazy Redditor is talking about, you can check it out at gekno.app.

Also, I'm truly not trying to sell you anything. The app does have some paid “premium features” but I really just want people to fall in love with learning like I have. So I'm giving away free lifetime Premium access to any interested. No catch, no gimmicks, no strings attached, nadda—just leave a comment and I'll send you a code.

I'd also genuinely love feedback. If there's anything that would make learning every day more fun, I'm all ears.
