This is a great project to see. I'm also an early fan and customer of Math Academy and am glad to see something like this focused on micro skills. As much as memorization is dismissed, having automatic recall base skills lets you get much further, much faster in harder ones.

This is great, Gabe.

One small piece of feedback: on my Pixel, the Android keyboard obscures the green button. So when I'm answering a numerical question, I use your number pad to enter the digits, and then use the enter key on my Android keyboard. This feels weird, but I guess with regular use it wouldn't.

A good project. It’s great that the tasks are generated deterministically, without using AI-generated answers

I made something similar for my partner a while ago for math drills but this is way better (and more comprehensive). I gave up after 3-5 modules. Kudos.

Dude, hell yeah! I was just shopping for this exact thing not that long ago [1]. I've never been great with math and wanted something I could practice with away from my laptop. Love that it works in the browser, too. Well done, this is really nice.
