Show HN: Scatter – better way to learn new things with AI

https://www.scatter.study/

Hi everyone! I've created a web app where one can explore topics on mindmap-like canvas with text, images, videos, interactive nodes. One can also add sources, choose different models for different roles and many more.

I'm in my fifth year of psychiatry residency and have adhd and always hated learning from textbooks or lately through chat interface, where I easily loose information from sight, can't branch out and generally feel constrained. So i worked for the last 6 months on an app that would work best for me and trigger the hyperfocus and novelty seeking while learning.

I tried to apply studies on learning to make it work for everyone but especially for people with adhd and dyslexia. One can organize nodes spacialy, group them, color code, work not only with text but also other media, make interactive explanations, use reading ruler, use "information chunking" (one core concept per sentence, one sentence per line, most important words in the sentence in bold).

I'm also proud of how the "encyclopedic nodes" collapse their bullet points to keep the information in view.

The app is free and byok and source available. You can try the demo on the landing page :)
