This is a great project to see. I'm also an early fan and customer of Math Academy and am glad to see something like this focused on micro skills. As much as memorization is dismissed, having automatic recall base skills lets you get much further, much faster in harder ones.
Thank you! Yeah, Justin Skycak's writing really turned me on to the benefits of automaticity. Once you're aware of it you start to notice everywhere you lack it and how much it'd help in raising your ceiling.
One small piece of feedback: on my Pixel, the Android keyboard obscures the green button. So when I'm answering a numerical question, I use your number pad to enter the digits, and then use the enter key on my Android keyboard. This feels weird, but I guess with regular use it wouldn't.
Thanks! Yeah, that was a dealbreaker for me since I didn't want to bother with AI slop. So it took a while and a ton of testing/validation, but happy with how it came out.
I made something similar for my partner a while ago for math drills but this is way better (and more comprehensive). I gave up after 3-5 modules. Kudos.
Dude, hell yeah! I was just shopping for this exact thing not that long ago [1]. I've never been great with math and wanted something I could practice with away from my laptop. Love that it works in the browser, too. Well done, this is really nice.

This is great, Gabe.

Thank you, I will look at that bug and get something deployed tonight! I only tested on Mac/iPhone, so I appreciate the feedback.
A good project. It’s great that the tasks are generated deterministically, without using AI-generated answers

Thank you, and great writeup! I'm in a similar position and wrote about my journey a couple of years ago here: https://gmays.com/how-im-relearning-math-as-an-adult/
