Show HN: Like Duolingo but for learning EV tech (looking for alpha users)

by janosch_123 on 1/3/25, 5:41 PM with 0 comments

I build electric cars and am now distilling my knowledge into a duolingo-style learning app for you.

This is my first stab at the Q&A mechanic, a quiz with 10 questions, you then get 3 bars showing you strengths and weaknesses and signup form thereafter (still crude, written today!).

The full app will:

make you traverse a skill tree based on modules & goals like:

- I am interviewing tomorrow to be a Battery Software Engineer and need to cram

- I want to build an electric car

- I want to build a drone from scratch

- I need to understand rapid charging for my job

- ...

The app will have a free tier and then a pro-tier with advanced features. In principle this can scale to "all of STEM" incl. physics, nuclear, chemistry etc., but I am starting with the niche I know of course.

I am quite well plugged into the DIY EV community and have built my own cars, this is how I am sharing what I learnt since 2018.

Now looking for alpha testers, if you are up for that, please fill out the form or email me at hello@foxev.io I would like to bounce ideas off you :)
