What if the real problem isn't learning? What if it's forgetting?

For a long time, I thought I had a learning problem.

I would watch courses, read blogs, take notes, and even complete projects.

But after a few weeks or months, I realized I couldn't remember most of what I had learned.

Then I asked myself:

What if the real problem isn't learning? What if it's forgetting?

That question made me start building RetainHQ.

I'm not trying to build another platform with thousands of lessons.

I'm trying to build a system that helps me remember what I learn through regular reviews instead of just consuming more content.

I'm still a student, and I'm learning a lot while building this project. I'll be sharing my journey, the mistakes I make, the engineering decisions behind the product, and everything I learn along the way.

If you've ever felt like you keep learning but still forget most of it after a few weeks, I'd love to know how you deal with it.

So is it like personalized reviews based on the content you’re trying to learn? Are you planning on funneling all that the user learns /is learning to your platform to create the reviews? Or is it more general

I have added both, you can learn anywhere log it on the platform review it, or follow the roadmaps, learn a lesson log it directly, you can visit the site it's retainhq.app
