I intentionally avoided gamification, streaks, subscriptions, and engagement tricks.\nThe goal was calm learning — fewer distractions, more focus.

For those who’ve built or used learning tools:\n– Does “calm” resonate, or is it too niche?\n– What trade-offs have you seen when avoiding gamification?

Not here to promote — genuinely looking for perspective.","time":1765813714,"title":"Ask HN: Is building a calm, non-gamified learning app a mistake?","type":"story"}],[45124003,{"by":"MaxLeiter","descendants":375,"id":45124003,"kids":[45125819,45124947,45125234,45124523,45124841,45124293,45128491,45127257,45128247,45125377,45128208,45125632,45126121,45124637,45124209,45133600,45206578,45125864,45125631,45124671,45124678,45124991,45124391,45127838,45128082,45124982,45133471,45124782,45127035,45124202,45125166,45132385,45125549,45156038,45126670,45125621,45125626,45125657,45130794,45125818,45128759,45125254,45124482,45124949,45127886,45127293,45128631,45124387,45125925,45124290,45124267,45171992,45180986,45180984,45128875,45124380,45136909,45130284,45125466,45124271,45184397,45184379,45124715,45124474,45125999,45128303],"score":1103,"time":1756965389,"title":"30 minutes with a stranger","type":"story","url":"https://pudding.cool/2025/06/hello-stranger/"}],[44062227,{"by":"nexo-v1","descendants":193,"id":44062227,"kids":[44066694,44070862,44064291,44062318,44068814,44065722,44070709,44063630,44067914,44071100,44065291,44073271,44070837,44068422,44067026,44075750,44073052,44065143,44072043,44063073,44065885,44063761,44069565,44062960,44073293,44064362,44066570,44074796,44070075,44067434,44130934,44065125,44063116,44069001,44068326,44067726,44072637,44064837,44070296,44067082,44070649,44063514,44065135,44065367,44066798,44062903,44064207,44063767,44063359,44064378,44063251,44063313,44069924,44066264,44063304],"score":292,"time":1747922965,"title":"I Built My Own Audio Player","type":"story","url":"https://nexo.sh/posts/why-i-built-a-native-mp3-player-in-swiftui/"}],[42664113,{"by":"thunderbong","descendants":1,"id":42664113,"kids":[42672987],"score":17,"time":1736581384,"title":"Rhyolite: Simple text editor in Rust using Tauri, Svelte.
