Show HN: Microlearning apps with a TikTok-style feed to beat doomscrolling (usescroll.app)

I wanted to kick my doomscrolling habit, so I built a microlearning app that uses a TikTok-style algorithm, same addictive feed mechanics, but you actually learn something.

I started with a general version, Scroll: Daily Microlearning (microlearning.usescroll.app), but quickly realised it works better when focused on a single topic. So I split it into:

Scroll: Personal Finance (https://finance.usescroll.app)

Scroll: Learn AI (https://ai.usescroll.app)

Scroll: Daily Microlearning (https://microlearning.usescroll.app)



After I read the micro article and scroll down a bit to click on an answer in the quiz, then click on the answer, there should appear one more button on the bottom right [Done] or [Complete] or [Continue] to give me a final confirmation and satisfaction that it's done. Right now, after I choose the answer, the answer is highlighted, great, and ... nothing - I have to scroll all the way up and use the back button (top left arrow), which kind of gives of the feeling like I accomplished nothing and need to retrace my steps back.


Agreed. I'm currently working on these minor issues. Thanks for raising this. Much appreciated.


I'm missing font-size adjustment.
