    This is great, Gabe.

    One small piece of feedback: on my Pixel, the Android keyboard obscures the green button. So when I'm answering a numerical question, I use your number pad to enter the digits, and then use the enter key on my Android keyboard. This feels weird, but I guess with regular use it wouldn't.

      Thank you, I will look at that bug and get something deployed tonight! I only tested on Mac/iPhone, so I appreciate the feedback.

    I made something similar for my partner a while ago for math drills but this is way better (and more comprehensive). I gave up after 3-5 modules. Kudos.

    A good project. It’s great that the tasks are generated deterministically, without using AI-generated answers

      Thanks! Yeah, that was a dealbreaker for me since I didn't want to bother with AI slop. So it took a while and a ton of testing/validation, but happy with how it came out.

    Dude, hell yeah! I was just shopping for this exact thing not that long ago [1]. I've never been great with math and wanted something I could practice with away from my laptop. Love that it works in the browser, too. Well done, this is really nice.
