I've spent countless hours of my life in what I call 'tutorial hell'. You know the drill: you watch a 10-hour video course on a new framework, you follow along, everything makes sense... and then you open a blank editor to start your own project and you feel like you've learned nothing. The problem for me is that passive learning just doesn't stick. It's like watching someone else lift weights and hoping you'll get stronger. Lately, I've been obsessed with a different approach. What if, instead of just watching, you had a "sparring partner" while you code? Someone who could: * Answer your specific question, right in the moment. * Generate a new, unique exercise for a concept you're struggling with. * Explain a piece of code you found online, line by line. I got so passionate about this idea that I decided to build it. I started working on a platform, [**DevApps Learn**](https://devappslearn.com/), with the goal of making learning to code truly interactive. At its core is a live coding environment and an AI tutor that's designed to be your personal mentor. My "North Star" for this project is simple: * **Learning by Doing:** The editor is front-and-center, not a video player. * **Instant Help:** The AI should help you get "unstuck" in seconds, not hours of Googling. * **Privacy First:** A big one for me. The AI can even analyze files, but it all happens 100% locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. I'm still early in this journey, building this mostly by myself, and I'm not trying to build the next billion-dollar unicorn. I just want to build a genuinely useful tool that solves the problem of "tutorial hell" that so many of us face. I'd love to hear from others who feel the same way. How do you break out of passive learning cycles? What tools or methods have actually worked for you?
