No streaks or badges—just honest data. Privacy-first. No third-party analytics. Full data export. Calm design. Never pushy. Weekly emails max.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built SkillFade after realizing I'd "learned" the same things multiple times. I'd finish a course, feel accomplished, then months later discover I'd forgotten almost everything. The problem isn't motivation—it's visibility. We don't see our skills fading until we need them and they're gone. SkillFade is intentionally boring: - No AI recommendations - No social features - No streak anxiety It's just a mirror that shows you what's decaying and what's staying fresh. The freshness algorithm is simple: skills decay ~2% daily without practice, with a small boost from recent learning. Nothing fancy—just math that reflects reality. I'd love feedback on what metrics would help you most. What would you want to track about your own learning?

Turning the invisible problem of skill decay into a visible dashboard is a sharp insight. It feels built for a specific, disciplined audience.

A go-to-market question: For a tool that's "intentionally boring," what's your primary channel to find the professionals who will value that honesty most? Are you reaching them through communities, content, or a different path?

Thanks for the kind words! You're right — this is built for a specific audience, not everyone.

For go-to-market, I'm focusing on communities over ads:

1. Developer/maker communities — Places like Indie Hackers, HackerNews, and niche Slack/Discord groups where people already talk about learning, productivity, and skill-building. These folks are self-aware about their learning habits.

2. Content that resonates — Writing about the problems (tutorial hell, forgetting what you learned, input/output imbalance) rather than pushing the product. People who've felt that frustration will find their way here.
