I got fed up with Quizlet’s limitations for STEM, so I built a cleaner alternative with native LaTeX support. Looking for brutal feedback!
Hey everyone,
As a student, I’ve always used flashcards to study, but I ran into the same issue over and over: Math and Science on most platforms suck. Either you have to upload gready screenshots of your equations, or the LaTeX support is hidden behind a massive paywall/clunky UI.
So, I decided to build my own tool called Notum Learn.
What I tried to solve:
- Native LaTeX: Write equations directly ($\sum, \int, \oint$) and have them render perfectly without needing images.
- Clean & Zen UI: No cluttered banners or "Quick Tips" everywhere. Just you and your cards.
- Actually Responsive: Built it to work properly on both my 16" laptop and my phone during commutes.
- Speed: Using SvelteKit and Supabase to make it feel instant.
It’s currently in beta, and I’m looking for some "early adopters" who are willing to break it and give me some brutal feedback. What sucks? What’s missing? Is the UI intuitive enough?

I’m just a solo dev trying to make studying a bit less painful for STEM students, so any advice (or bug reports) would mean the world!
TL;DR: Built a Quizlet alternative for STEM students with proper LaTeX support. It’s in beta and free to use. Need your feedback!
