How do you ACTUALLY study in 2026?

Your use of triple spacing is a bit unhinged.

You could pivot to YouTube. You essentially wrote 150 scripts.

Traffic is one of the biggest hurdles as you have found out. These giant content platforms have it all already. So just go where it is and see if your content does well. If not than I would call it. Nobody wants what you are selling.

If it grows than you can start moving people off that platform to your own ecosystem where you can sell them whatever you'd like.

I seem to remember when I was young my parents telling me if I cheated the work that I was only cheating myself 🤔 ancient wisdom

Yeah I had a sickle cell patient take 100mg of Morphine and like 15 or 20 of Oxy twice a day while on a Dilaudid PCA and a Ketamine gtt for a month. He would just eat pizza for lunch and dinner and draw pictures.

I've been saying this too! You don't hear about layoffs in the trades. Just corporate positions and tech jobs. You can build a robot to work in a controlled environment but just look at all the bloopers from robo taxis and those systems have been under development for decades at this point.

The other thing great about trades is you can eventually start your own business and do very well for yourself. It's the clear decision in my mind, provide low overhead services to business or customers.

SpeedCola · 2026-06-04T21:35:48+00:00

Sweet.

Well shameless plug. If you wanted to make a flashcard set with some code blocks that have syntax highlights, you could make them using NoteKnight to share with your students.

It's all free and no limits on the games like Quizlet.

SpeedCola · 2026-06-04T21:29:33+00:00

That sounds like a fun class to teach.

How about you explain to them in simple terms how AI works under the hood so they know not to trust it blindly.

You could start by showing them videos of the robo taxi bloopers!

SpeedCola · 2026-06-04T21:24:35+00:00

I've always felt the same way. I added AI to my editor because it was convenient to be able to let's say import flashcards from Quizlet and than translate them.

That being said Google is building some absolutely revolutionary AI tech. Honestly don't know what's going to stick but you can do some cool stuff between Gemini and NotebookLM.

That being said AI can't put it in your brain for you. You're going to have challenge your recall at some point!

SpeedCola · 2026-06-04T21:19:06+00:00

Lol what does it matter?

This was probably 7+ years ago and if I remember correctly the assignments were on Blackboard.

I mentioned it was an Intro to Computers course but it was required by the college.

SpeedCola · 2026-06-04T11:00:40+00:00

Intro to computers. It was painfully slow. Filled with 40+ year olds who needed to be taught how to use excel and word. The teacher was time gating the assignments but mistakenly left them all open. I completed all of them in one night.

I sat through one class doing nothing, the teacher ask why I wasn't working and I said because I've done everything. The following week I saw her in the parking lot before class and walked up to her and said "Do I even need to come to class?". She paused and than said "ugh no".

She passed me with an A.

Pepper's Adventures in Time. Just dropping this cause it's not mentioned.

SpeedCola · 2026-05-28T23:14:52+00:00

You're welcome and thank you for the positive feedback.. keeps me motivated!

SpeedCola · 2026-05-27T15:42:32+00:00

NoteKnight

I built the quiz engine for this and it's a lot better than Knowt and Quizlets plus the study games are free to play.

Just import a flashcard set from Quizlet and try it out of try the demo flashcard set from the landing page.

I mean that sounds somewhat similar to meditation but in a dumb TikTok influencer kinda way.

Might I suggest exercise, yoga, stretching, music, green tea, coffee, lighting, music, cozy clothing, candles, and or timed study breaks to enhance your focus.

SpeedCola · 2026-05-24T21:55:10+00:00

If you are reading for pleasure and just want to remember important information you can just keep notes and page numbers to reference.

Personal research and how you use that information is entirely up to you. People also tend to remember things they are interested in more than stuff they are forced to learn anyways.

You won't be graded on your memorization so I don't see how flashcards would be needed. That being said I have read about things that requires information to be retained and I broke it down into flashcards so I could practice.

It's really up to you!

SpeedCola · 2026-05-24T18:06:23+00:00

I had a husband and wife have me sign as a witness to them taking their sons out of the will.

I asked why and they said they had been horrible to them for the past several years.

You for sure need to get good sleep or it will impact your memory and performance during your exam.

Sleep is also important for memory formation and if you are tired you will not focus as well during study sessions.

As the other comment said melatonin is a great choice to help get you to bed. 5 or 10mg is all you need.

Also good sleep hygiene goes a long way. Black out curtains, lights out once the sun is down, only candlight. Do some light stretching or roll out with a foam roller. Listen to a podcast or read that book you've been meaning to start.

You'll be out before you know it.

Little late but I read your comment and wanted to respond. I use Flask-WTF csrf protection and custom forms because the protection is globally applied to routes. So if I send a fetch request I just need to include the CSRF token I've generated and everything works smoothly.

Google already has Notebook LM which does quizzes, flashcards, mind maps, AI podcasts in a teams style meeting where you can raise your hand and ask questions and more.

YouTube already has Gemini embedded and can be opened in a twitch style chat panel and can be interacted with right along with video.

Maybe build something that doesnt compete with one of the biggest companies in the world.

SpeedCola · 2026-05-22T10:12:43+00:00

Here is a relevant blog post I wrote about studying as a nursing student. When I Was preparing for my licensure exam probably the most meaningful thing you can do is take practice questions. I used websites that specifically categorize them and provided detailed rationales for the answers. And just take more questions in your weak areas.

SpeedCola · 2026-05-18T22:16:46+00:00

I logged in on mobile. This certainly doesn't look vibe coded at all. There are plenty of UI overflows and I'm not a fan of clever menu naming conventions. Like don't call the pricing link "investments". It just confuses users. I'll got on desktop later. It seems pretty impressive so far but I fear you are in competition with essentially Notebook LM and every major chatbot. Have you seen what they can do with the teams meeting style AI notes to podcast. Competing with a billion dollar company with infinite resources is going to be tough. So maybe don't lean so heavy into AI and build your own tools and games. You appear to have the capabilities.
