🐛 Bug Reports & Feature Requests

Hi everyone! Will here.

While I've tested Explic thoroughly, as a solo dev, bugs can hide anywhere!

If you encounter any issues or have a cool idea for a new feature (maybe a new "Socratic Personality"?), please drop them in this thread. I'm fixing things in real-time today!

Is AI Chat killing our ability to think? 🧠

As a builder in the AI space, I've noticed a pattern:

When I ask standard AI chatbots for code or solutions, I get the answer instantly. It feels great for 5 seconds. But then I realize... I learned nothing. If the code breaks later, I'm stuck because I skipped the "struggle" of understanding the First Principles.

I spent the last 3 days conceptualizing Explic to solve this. It's an AI that politely refuses to just dump the answer. Instead, it acts like a Socratic tutor, guiding you to unfold the logic yourself.

The question for you: Do we need more tools that make us "faster," or do we need tools that make us "smarter"?

Explic.app - The Anti-ChatGPT. It makes you think, not just copy-paste.

The Socratic AI coach for deep work. Explic prevents "cognitive atrophy" by guiding you through problems layer-by-layer. Using First Principles, it helps you find the logic yourself instead of handing you the final answer. Master the concept, don't just solve it.
