ScrollWise
TikTok-style knowledge app — short-form educational content you can scroll through and actually learn from.
Overview
The idea was simple: what if learning felt as addictive as scrolling TikTok? ScrollWise serves up bite-sized educational content in a vertical swipe format. Each card teaches you one thing — a concept, a fact, a mental model — and you just keep scrolling.
Challenge
Making educational content feel snackable without dumbing it down. Also, the scroll performance had to be buttery smooth — any jank and the whole illusion breaks.
Approach
Built in Flutter for the smooth scrolling and animation capabilities. Used Hive for local caching so content loads instantly, and Supabase for the backend content management. I also built a separate admin dashboard (scrollwise-admin) in React for managing and curating content.
Outcome
The format works better than I expected. Short, focused content with good pacing keeps people engaged longer than traditional learning apps. The admin dashboard made it easy to experiment with different content structures.
