I wanted to simply doomscroll less and study more, but found something in between??

Hi guys, I want to share my opinion of the app I started using not so long ago, and now I have a 32-day streak. It's called the Nibble app, and it offers general knowledge lessons and quizzes. At first, I wasn't sure about it, but then it hit me that it's a perfect alternative to doomscrolling (well, not that ideal because I still scroll, but at least it's healthier).

When I commute or wait in lines, I play games like Candy Crush and every possible game similar to it. At some point, I was doing that on autopilot, so whenever I have a few free minutes - this is what I do. I don't even think that I liked doing it, but I still do.

But I tried Nibble and found my perfect alternative. I didn't learn anything new for almost a year, and now I almost daily go through their quizzes on Art, History, Physics, and many others. Last night, I didn't understand some facts about the Wall Street crash when I was finishing the History lessons about how the market actually recovered briefly and thought that it wasn't true, and I ended up reading articles proving it is true and explaining what exactly happened.

I missed the feeling of doing that. So, if you have a similar situation and do too much scrolling and not really think about using your phone less, at least now, you should try this app.

I built this web app to help people, like myself, with studying and helping have a good way to ask questions and get answers for school. Try it and let us know how it is
