Solo dev from Belarus β built an app that shows which skills you're forgetting
Hey Product Hunt! π I'm Pavel β solo iOS developer from Belarus.
Think about this for a second.
Students spend months preparing for exams β then forget 80% of the material two weeks later. Developers learn React, TypeScript, Docker, AWS β but only use two of them on their current project. Language learners grind Duolingo every day β then can't hold a basic conversation after a month off.
We're all learning constantly. But nobody tracks what's quietly disappearing.
There's actual science behind this: the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve shows ~50% of what you learn fades within 24 hours without reinforcement. The knowledge doesn't vanish overnight β it decays slowly, invisibly, until one day you open that project and think "wait, how did I do this again?"
Most apps help you learn. Almost none help you not forget.
That gap is what I spent 6 months building for β alone. No team, no funding, no safety net. My first ever shipped app.
Skill Decay Tracker gives every skill a live health score (0β100%) that decays over time based on the forgetting curve. When something starts fading, the app generates a 2-minute AI micro-challenge to bring it back. Coding, languages, music, exam prep β anything.
Honestly? Shipping something for the first time is terrifying. I have no idea if this resonates with anyone outside my own head.
So I'd love one thing from you: does this click? Is "I'm slowly forgetting this" a pain you actually feel?
π What skill are you quietly losing right now?
