Tutorials are a trap. Most people

Tutorials are a trap.
Most people spend 80% of their learning time searching for what to learn next. They wander through YouTube playlists and Medium articles, only to end up in "Tutorial Hell"—feeling busy but going nowhere.
I got tired of the noise. So I built PATHFINDER🚀
The goal was simple: Turn any complex skill into a visual, agentic roadmap. No more guessing.
I started with "Machine Learning." Instead of a static list, PATHFINDER generated a living dependency tree.
You need Linear Algebra before you touch a Weight Matrix.
You need Calculus before you optimize a Gradient.
Green nodes for mastery. Amber for current focus. Rose for the deep dive.
It’s an entire learning ecosystem in 5 screens build using @Paper:
- Skill Tree: The "Map" that shows how concepts actually connect. - Resources: Curated, live-pulled courses and books. - Progress: Real-time tracking with streak indicators to keep the momentum. - Quiz: Interactive knowledge checks to kill the illusion of competence. - Roadmap: A 6-month strategic execution plan.
Pathfinder is officially live. 🚀 TRY: https://heartfelt-duckanoo-4d1dfa.netlify.app/ Stop scrolling. Start building. Build your path. Find your way.
