Hi everyone, I built BrainScroller because I noticed most of us don’t have a problem with screen time — we have a problem with what we feed our minds.

The app uses the same swipe we’re addicted to, but instead of random dopamine hits it delivers curated learning feeds: philosophy, history, science, world news, etc. You scroll like social media, but you keep knowledge like an encyclopedia.

This started as a personal experiment to fix my own doomscrolling habit, and it slowly turned into something real. I’m still learning a lot and improving it, and I’d love feedback from this community (especially about onboarding, feed quality, and monetization).

Happy to answer anything and show the backend if useful. Thanks!
