I've always been struggling with finishing long courses (or even non-fiction books) and December last year I had to face a pile of unfinished material that I told myself I’d go back to “when I had time”. which never happened.. so I decided to test the micro-learning format (just 10-15 minute chunks per day, that’s it) and since I kept seeing RiseGuide ads on Facebook, I decided to give it a go and started with this app. want to share my thoughts:

What I used it for: right now I’m most interested in improving my communication skills and general public speaking confidence, so I’d normally do about 10 min with my breakfast and sometimes “review” newly learnt technique at night before bed (helps replace some of that tiktok doomscrolling time)

What I liked:

• bite-sized format: I noticed it was easy to finish a lesson. the format is short enough that it removes the initial “dread” of starting entirely for me.
• the features are super interactive - flip cards, quizzes, you don’t get bored and don’t lose attention and can even interact with their “AI coach” feature. also very clean ui
• the frameworks they teach are based on real experts like Simon Sinek who I already admire and whose content I enjoy

what I didn’t like: -

- I wish there were more videos - some of the concepts would be easier to learn visually for me personally

- some of the context didn’t feel deep enough. which is where I think the long courses still win. obviosuly, if you’re trying to become a pro TED talk speaker or write books maybe 15 min on an app isn't going to get you there.

Also, it is in the end a subscription, which I know some people are not a fan of.

Curious if others think micro-learning is better than smt like YouTube? is this the future of learning?

I wanted to share my honest experience with Flextail products, specifically because they seem to be censoring negative feedback on their official website and Judge.me. If you see only 5-star ratings there, it’s because they don’t publish anything else.

MAX PUMP 2 PLUS

• Misleading Power Bank Feature: This model is explicitly marketed as a power bank, but it's hit-or-miss. Due to weird protocols, most original cables won't charge a phone from it. It only works with the cheapest, chip-less cables. Some loud creaking noise while charging.

• Low Pressure: The 4.5 kPa rating is very weak. It works for a basic sleeping pad, but fails on anything slightly more rigid, like a small boat or a kid's snow tube. It simply doesn't create enough pressure.

• Design Flaw: The rubber charging port plug is too soft and pops out constantly at the slightest touch.

EVO TIRE PUMP 200 (150 PSI)

• Poor Build Quality: While it inflates fast, it is extremely loud. The control wheel is stiff and hard to rotate.

• Broken Socket: The tolerances are so bad that my charging cable got stuck. When I pulled it out, the entire internal socket almost came out with it.

Conclusion on Censorship

I tried posting this feedback on their official channels, but it was never published. They are inflating their scores by suppressing honest reviews. This is basic Chinese mass-market gear sold with "premium" marketing. Be careful.

I have 3 more flextail products but have not tried them yet. Will update review later.

used innisfree (green tea serum) for about a month now

pros: lightweight, hydrating, feels nice

cons: not sure if it does anything beyond hydration

overall i like it but idk if i’d repurchase yet

thoughts??

I’m talking about that one purchase that makes you feel like you won at life every time you use it.

Hi! So after noticing that I wasn't getting sales on my book, it's on Amazon KDP, I decided to post a few complete chapters for free on Wattpad. But I still wasn't able to get views so I need someone to read the books and tell me whether the problem is the story or the cover. You can comment here on Reddit, or Amazon. The books I wrote are called:

1.Nakahara Restoration

2.Is Life Really Boring?

3.A Desire For Home
