PolitiFace
Most Americans can't name their own senators. I caught myself doing it despite reading the news every day, and realized the news doesn't actually teach you anything, you need active recall, the way language apps and Anki users have known forever. So I am building Politiface: a flashcard app for the US government, powered by FSRS-4.5 (the spaced repetition algorithm Anki shipped in 2024). It schedules each politician right before you'd forget them, so what you learn actually sticks.
PubQ
The only scheduler built for Substack Notes. Write your Notes in batches, schedule them to post at peak time automatically. Free to start.
