Key Technologies

• Backend: Laravel 11 with PHP 8.2+
• Database: PostgreSQL with Eloquent ORM
• Frontend: HTMX for dynamic interactions, Alpine.js for reactivity
• Styling: Tailwind CSS for modern, responsive design
• Testing: PHPUnit for backend, Playwright for E2E
• Development: Vite for asset bundling, Laravel Pint for code formatting

Core Concepts

1. Learning Hierarchy

Subject (e.g., Mathematics)
  └── Unit (e.g., Algebra Basics)
      └── Topic (e.g., Linear Equations)
          └── Session (e.g., Practice Problems)
              └── Flashcards (Study materials)

2. Review System

• Spaced Repetition: Automatically schedules reviews based on performance
• Intervals: 1 day → 3 days → 7 days → 14 days → 30 days
• Performance Tracking: Adjusts intervals based on student success

3. Kids Mode

• Simplified interface for younger learners
• PIN-protected exit to parent dashboard
• Age-appropriate content and interactions
• Progress celebration and rewards
