Could StudyNI become an app?

StudyNI started as a way of making CCEA revision less of a guessing game. Past papers contain a huge amount of information about what actually gets examined, how often certain topics come up, and what hasn't appeared in a while. Students are usually left to piece all of that together themselves, subject by subject, year by year.

I started structuring historical CCEA exam data properly, so a student could actually see which topics were highly likely to come up, which were common, and which were occasional, and use that to make better decisions about what to revise next.

Originally that was mostly a website. Then I had the fairly obvious thought: why isn't this something a student just has on their phone?

That's the part I'm building now. Moving from 'useful revision website' towards something a student would actually open every day: topic tracking, confidence ratings, revision streaks, a plan that adjusts based on how you're actually doing, and eventually some AI-assisted revision features on top.

This is still very much in progress, not a finished product I'm describing after the fact. I'll probably write about this again once more of it actually exists.
