I am a developer with over 10 years of experience. I wanted to create a way of learning programming topics in a simple and easy manner.

Microideation is a shorts-based app that contains topics in programming explained as 30 seconds read. Each topic has links to other related topics and you navigate them using swipe gestures.

This was developed as a personal part-time project during the 2020 lockdown period. Currently it's all self hosted and also I have created over 200+ shorts ( ideations ) on following categories.

Java

Spring framework

Data structures & Algorithms

Databases

React

There are also ideation series that explains a particular concept as list of related shorts. All the ideations and series can be viewed and switched using simple swipe gestures.

I request the HN community to check it and provide feedback on the concept and implementation.

I intend this to be a community driven platform where experts ( ideators ) can create content on their area of expertise that can be discovered by the interested users.

Thank you for the feedback. We are adding more content on different languages and topics. You may also suggest categories or languages that you would like to see :)

Thank you for reporting this. Sorry for the inconvenience I will check into it. For trying out the app, you may also just access as "Guest"
