Hi PH community! I created Walnut because I find YouTube a very distracting place to learn, and that's just how their algorithms work — to keep you entertained and not necessarily learned. Walnut is a new and distraction-free way to learn with educational videos. Every video is followed by a set of interactive quizzes to help you reinforce what you just learned. If you're feeling confident, you can also try out Challenges. You'd get a personalized Path based on your current knowledge level. A Path is like a playlist, but with checkpoints and game rewards. I'm looking for your feedback — what do you like and not like? What do you wish to see more of? I want to hear them all. Cheers!

@harrison0723 I absolutely love this; I wish I had it when I was in school. Speaking of which, have you considered reaching out to schools and get Walnut into classrooms? I see a huge potential in making this like a custom tool/medium for schools.

@amrith Thanks! And potentially. Walnut right now is designed with just learners in mind. I can imagine some sort of solutions built upon this for schools/teachers, just have to learn more about their pains first :)

At first glance, the website impresses with its visual aesthetics. Indeed, there are no distractions to learn the subject you are interested in. Are there going to be more categories? Is there a way to request topics of interest? I'll definitely check Walnut more profoundly. Thank you for sharing!
Harrison Lo
@veronika_rovnik Thanks Veronika, you can simply request topics in the feedback box within the app or website!

@ljupcho_naumov Thanks man!

Honestly, the internet needs something like Walnut to exist. The web is a powerful place for learning, but without a support structure in place a lot of that knowledge just disappears. Have watched this make a lot of progress over the last few months - downloaded it this time. Best of luck to you Harrison!

Looks fantastic! I've definitely been struggling to learn things because they were so dry and boring. Looks like with Walnut I will be able to have fun while learning, and it can captivate my attention. I'm really excited for this and can't wait to see more content!!

@james_tseng Awesome man! Hope you learn something new today on Walnut
