Show HN: Rebrain.gg - Doom learn, don't doom scroll
Hi HN, I built https://rebrain.gg. It's a website which is
intended to help you learn new things. I built it for two reasons:
1. To play around with different ways of interacting with a LLM.
Instead of a standard chat conversation, the LLM returns question
forms the user can directly interact with (and use to continue the
conversation with the LLM). 2. Because I thought it would be cool
to have a site dedicated to interactive educational content instead
of purely consuming content (which I do too much). An example of a
(useful-for-me) interactive conversation is:
https://rebrain.gg/conversations/6. In it I'm learning how to use
the `find` bash command. (Who ever knew to exclude a directory from
a look-up you need to do `find . -path <path> -exclude -o <what you
want to look for>`, where `-o` stands for "otherwise"!) Still very
early on, so interested in and open to any feedback. Thanks!

| One potential direction, simple cards that are True/False.

|
| The very first question is full of obvious bugs.
|
| You have 'find . -name "notes.txt"' selected, it then says 'You
| submitted: ls -R | grep notes.txt: find . -name "notes.txt"',
| then it responds:
|
| 'Thanks -- your answer looks like it was partially entered.
|
| 'You picked find . -name "notes.txt" (good choice). The
| submission shows an escaped/unfinished string: find . -name \\.
| The correct full command is find . -name "notes.txt", which
| searches recursively from the current directory for files or
| directories named exactly notes.txt.'
|
| There seems to be some weird kind of quoting issue going on
| there. I would fix obvious issues like that before sharing this
| with the world.

| It's worth sharing because it's cool, even if it's not perfect
| yet!
|
| You'll never make every single person on HN happy. But if you
| share your stuff early and make one person happy at the very
| least that means you should keep working on it!
|
| Don't let perfectionism get in the way of good enough :]
