Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a quick update on a journey I’ve been on for the last few week.
It started with a simple observation: why is it so hard to find a specific chapter within the hundreds of NCERT PDFs? We rely on these books for almost every major exam in India, yet the digital experience often feels stuck a decade behind.
We’ve been building quietly, but in just the last few days, we’ve shipped a major piece of the puzzle. We just hit a small milestone today with our v1.0.4 release, and I wanted to share the progress.
The Latest Progress (Built this week):
- Deep TOC Search: We realized early on that just searching for book titles wasn't enough. Over the last few days, we finished a pipeline to map out every single chapter title from the entire NCERT catalog. You can now search within books instantly.
- Contextual Help (Piku): We introduced a humble AI librarian named Piku. Instead of just matching words, Piku tries to understand why you’re studying (like UPSC or JEE) and suggests the right chapters based on current syllabus trends.
- Focus-First UI: We’ve been obsessing over a clean, Material 3 design. We believe a study tool should be professional, fast, and stay out of your way.
The Bigger Picture:
Building this has taught us that modernizing education isn't about "disrupting" the system; it’s about being a small, helpful part of a much bigger story. We’ve had a lot of late nights trying to get the chapter mappings exactly right, and we’re still learning every day.
We aren't making big claims. We’re just trying to make the path a little smoother for the next generation of learners, one code at a time.
