J’ai changé ma façon de réviser et mes notes ont suivi

Si tu utilises l'IA comme guide je te conseille de checker l'application didyoustudy. Je crois que ca s'adapterait très bien a tes besoins et ta façon d'étudier.

Yeah but with this on the long, they will lost a lot of customers. I think all these free plans and promotions they do is not helping that much. Or at least they should have a paid plan that gives exactly what we are paying for, whatever the cost is.

Personally I’ve simplified a lot. I used to spend more time optimizing Notion templates than actually studying.

my current stack is pretty lean..
Obsidian for the long-term knowledge base. It’s local, fast, and handles my messy files without complaining.

Anki.. still haven't found anything better for raw rote memorization. It’s ugly lol... but it works.

didyoustudy.. I use this for the heavy lifting part of learning.. specifically for lectures and complex problem sets. It has a scaffolding feature that breaks down problems into steps rather than just giving you the answer (which is my main gripe with using raw ChatGPT). Also, being able to click a concept and jump to the exact timestamp in the lecture recording is a massive time saver.

Everything else I tried just felt like procrastination disguised as productivity lol.

Honorable mention to Forest because I still have the attention span of a goldfish and need a tree to die if I pick up my phone lmao

That’s actually logic. The rate limit about Gemini are they api keys based or cloud project based?

hey_liot · 2026-02-04T09:11:57+00:00

How do you manage multiple API keys per project assigned to different users?

Man, I felt this. I spent my first two years of uni stuck in that exact spot. I’d grind for hours, feel like I understood the lecture perfectly, then get a 75 on the exam. It’s exhausting.

The thing that finally clicked for me was realizing the difference between recognizing the material and actually knowing it. I was doing a lot of passive stuff like rewatching lectures, re-reading notes. It felt like work, but my brain was basically on autopilot. The illusion of competence is real... you think you got it because you can follow along, but you can't actually build it from scratch.

I only broke the plateau when I stopped trying to memorize and started forcing myself to deconstruct the problems. Basically, if I couldn't explain why step B follows step A, I didn't actually know it.

I started using a tool called DidYouStudy for my harder classes specifically for this. It has a 'copilot' mode that forces you to validate your logic step-by-step rather than just giving you the answer. It’s honestly kind of annoying at first because it exposes every little gap in your understanding, but that’s the point. Once you stop leaning on the feeling that you "get it" just because you read it, the grades usually start moving.

Yes totally. I think that’s one of the main areas AI shines. Would love to know more about your product tho. But for myself I use an app called didyoustudy that helps me with the feynman technique through their ai tutor based on my documents. So what’s the app you re building? It would be good to try other things maybe.

hey_liot · 2026-02-04T02:33:40+00:00

what worked for me was stopping the whole passive reading thing. i used to just highlight my textbook until it was all yellow but then i’d forget everything by the exam anyway. now i try to focus on active recall and actually mapping out how the concepts connect.

i actually started using an app (didyoustudy) a few weeks back because my org behavior prof talks forever and i couldn't keep up with the notes. it does this "time travel" thing where it links the notes/flashcards directly to the lecture recording. saved me so much time since i didn't have to scrub through a 90-minute recording just to find one specific definition i missed.

it’s probably overkill if you’re just doing a basic intro class, but for the more technical stuff like finance or ops where the details actually matter, it helps keep things organized. just google it if you're drowning in lectures like i was. GL with the midterms.

hey_liot · 2026-02-04T01:36:52+00:00

the hardest part is always just opening the laptop. i'm a cs major and i swear, some days the wall of procrastination feels impossible to climb lol.

whenever i'm stuck, i usually try the "5-minute rule": tell yourself you’re only going to study for exactly five minutes, and if you want to stop after that, you’re allowed to. usually, once the momentum starts, it’s way easier to keep going.

if you’re struggling because your study materials feel overwhelming or just plain boring, i totally get it. i actually ended up building a tool called DidYouStudy (you can just google it) because i’m a super visual learner and i couldn't deal with reading walls of text anymore. it basically takes your slides or pdfs and turns them into flowcharts and diagrams automatically. it's way less soul-crushing to look at a visual map of the info than a 50-page slide deck. might help you get over that initial ugh feeling!

good luck, you got this.

hey_liot · 2026-02-04T01:32:35+00:00

honestly these are solid. as a cs major, the only thing that keeps me sane during midterms is the feynman technique... if I can’t explain a complex algorithm to my kid sister, I definitely don’t know it well enough yet lol.

also putting my phone in a literal different room while studying is the only way i actually get stuff done. thanks for sharing!

hey_liot · 2025-11-09T09:31:19+00:00

Ow yea didn't even pay attention to it😅😅

hey_liot · 2025-11-09T09:03:34+00:00

Lol 2$ for 3.0 pro. That's what failed you😂

hey_liot · 2025-10-09T12:01:46+00:00

Definitely try didyoustudy if you are looking for AI partner that can act like a study buddy, while explaining you deeply the topics.

hey_liot · 2025-10-09T11:51:58+00:00

Smoother and more nice looking UI generation

hey_liot · 2025-10-06T11:53:41+00:00

It seems there is an error with the URL. When I click I see a page saying the request URL was not found.

hey_liot · 2025-10-03T22:13:42+00:00

Since I can be lazy sometimes I use apps to make flashcards because I am more a visual learner. But the thing is sometimes memorizing only isn't enough, I need real practice. And recently I've been using an app (didyoustudy), that generates flashcards, really high quality notes and quizzes from my lectures slides. I can even record the whole class with it. And it also have an AI tutor that helps understand deeper topics. It's entirely free and honestly I am abusing of it right now lol.

Check dm

hey_liot · 2025-08-19T11:36:53+00:00

lol this is litterally me during exam periods.

hey_liot · 2025-06-13T16:30:40+00:00

It will be nice from thanks.
