    I am a developer with over 10 years of experience. I wanted to create a way of learning programming topics in a simple and easy manner.

    Microideation is a shorts-based app that contains topics in programming explained as 30 seconds read. Each topic has links to other related topics and you navigate them using swipe gestures.

    This was developed as a personal part-time project during the 2020 lockdown period. Currently it's all self hosted and also I have created over 200+ shorts ( ideations ) on following categories.

    Java

    Spring framework

    Data structures & Algorithms

    Databases

    React

    There are also ideation series that explains a particular concept as list of related shorts. All the ideations and series can be viewed and switched using simple swipe gestures.

    I request the HN community to check it and provide feedback on the concept and implementation.

    I intend this to be a community driven platform where experts ( ideators ) can create content on their area of expertise that can be discovered by the interested users.

    Hi, Creator of microideation here. If anyone of you reading this is interested in creating shorts to be shared on your area of expertise, please start doing so from the ideator portal http://portal.microideation.com

    I signed up with a username of 3 characters and then when I went to sign in I was told my username needed a minimum of 5 chars

    I just installed this and had a look at the algo set. It looks good, thanks for posting.
