DevReps

PROBLEM

Engineers learn software engineering by doing reps, not by reading docs. Most learning sites give you a progress bar and a vague promise. DevReps is a training log: every lesson read is a set, every flashcard reviewed is a rep, and progress is a literal count of the work you actually did — across Python, TypeScript, React, Django, system design, databases, AI agents, and more.

WHAT'S IN IT

• +Real accounts — email/password auth, rate-limited, with password reset, account deletion, and progress synced across every device you log into.
• +Spaced-repetition flashcards on a schedule that adapts to what you've actually forgotten, not a static deck.
• +A four-question quiz at the end of every lesson, written to test whether the mechanism landed rather than trivia recall.
• +An AI tutor built on Gemini — select any phrase to define it, or ask for a simpler explanation of any paragraph, in English or Arabic.
• +20 short and long-form lesson videos cross-posted to YouTube and Instagram, linked from the lesson itself.

ROLE

Solo builder — content architecture and authoring, spaced-repetition scheduler, auth and cross-device sync, AI tutor integration, video pipeline, frontend, and deployment.

NOTABLE DECISION

Stopped shipping the full lesson/flashcard corpus to the client on every page load. The content tree had quietly become the bundle — splitting it so a page only fetches the slice it renders was the difference between a demo and something that stays fast as the catalog keeps growing. That bet paid off: the catalog has since grown 78% (426 → 758 lessons) with no page-weight regression, because growing content was never on the critical path to begin with.
