Kinnu is a gamified learning engine to explore new ideas and master anything. Take 1 part science of learning, add 1 part gaming overworld, shake and serve. We want to change the way 1b people learn and that means rethinking how we learn from the bottom up.

Great app. True meaning of learning made fun. I have few suggestions. 1. As we get older mobile screens are too small to read and hold in hand for long duration. This is true for people in knowledge areas such as professors and scholars. Can there be a web app? To see it in big screen? 2. Highlighting text and exporting notes. It would be easier for us to once we learn we make a note of it. The app itself is good with spaced repetition etc. but I would like to export and print notes sometimes to handout them as references to students. 3. I think a subscription model is incoming which is more than welcome. I would recommend if there is a education discount it would be great. Thanks 🎉

@samarth_reddy thank you! this is great feedback. 1. we have messed around with this and will continue to do so for exactly the reasons you mentioned. We do think that there's a lot of 'vampire time' where a phone is the better medium, but both media have their place. 2. yes! also something we have in the pipeline (you are on it) 3. we actually have no idea what business model will be. I think a lot of people have subscription fatigue so we're looking at other ideas. We also want to make sure we don't exclude anyone. Learning should not be discriminatory on income. Thank you for your feedback and ideas!

@samarth_reddy Thank you for your amazingly helpful comments! While there is no web app (yet!), we already go through a lot of effort to publish all of our content on our website https://kinnu.xyz/kinnuverse/. However, so far you cannot fully engage with the most valuable aspects of the website (tracking your progress as you learn) using the website. I will make sure we re-open the debate about that!

I really like the simplicity of learning a new topic, without the pressure to 'get out the books' - super easy to upgrade my understanding of topics. Are you adding links for further reading, after I have finished a path? Kudos on the onboarding as well - I can immediately start exploring pathways, which makes it so much easier than signing up for any learning system elsewhere.

@filip_filipov thanks for your feedback Filip! In a related idea to adding further links: a 'moment of delight' our users are reporting is when they can immediately use what they know, so we're experimenting building that in to the product directly. And thanks re. onboarding! We love the idea users can just experiment with the app without creating account, it's a much more 'honest' experience

@filip_filipov Great to hear you are enjoying the app - the idea to add links is an amazing one that we will definitely consider for our product roadmap - seems to be quite a popular request from the community!

Kinnu is such an exciting project, and I always get a buzz when a new pathway pops up on my phone. Artificial Intelligence, Greek Philosophy, Film Theory — what will the octopodes come up with next??

@hugh_davies Thank you! What would you like for us to come up with next? How about psychedelics? Data science? World history? Neurodiversity?

I love Kinnu! It’s great for memory retention and learning about complex topics. Eg I was able to cite off the top of my head a fact about the Great Recession of 1929 recently thanks to their pathway on macroeconomics, which is my current favourite 😊

@mona_hakim Glad to hear you're enjoying the app Mona! If you liked the Macroeconomics pathway you might also like our fresh-off-the-press pathway on AI which we wrote in collaboration with DeepMind's Director of Product Mehdi Ghissassi.

As a humanities researcher just starting out in higher ed teaching I've previously wondered about the market for something like Kinnu. I'm excited to see it's being developed by such experts in the field of learning technology design. With such a team I have no doubt it will be an enormous success and look forward to following its progress.

Free, Self-Directed, and Engaging, with more learning paths to come. What more can you ask for? Maybe one day this type of learning taking place on individual devices will be the alternative to expensive colleges.

@dan_shibu you're talking our dream Dan. Humans will always have a role for the empathy and connection, but tech and product can play a huge part in increasing access to knowledge - beyond just access to content which has been the focus of most 'edtech' companies to date.
