Jargon Gym

Private app, need an invitationWhat Jargon Gym is<br>I built this for myself after years of picking up jargon I couldn't actually use. Import term lists, mark what you know, review when you feel like it, quiz when you want a check-in. It's invite-only, you're here because someone shared this link with you.<br>What's in it<br>Add your own collection or start with existing ones, software engineering, finance, psychology, and more<br>Terms with more than a definition, example, how it's used, where people disagree. See how terms are built<br>A review queue that ranks what you've neglected or still can't use, no due dates. See how that works<br>Quizzes when you want a real check, not a daily streak to protect<br>Terms show up where you already are, in this web app, in a Telegram bot, and on your desktop in in a widget. Same ranking everywhere.

When reviewing, the queue shows what's been neglected or stayed shaky, from your history, not a schedule. I go through a ranked batch, mark what I know, and come back when I feel like it.<br>Known and unknown stay in separate pools so I'm not wasting time on words I already have.<br>I tried Anki and other due-based review tools and kept falling off. Overdue cards pile up, the daily guilt kicks in, and none of it fit how I actually wanted to learn. So no due dates, no reset button. And not a glossary either, terms here are built to be used, not just looked up.<br>You need an invitation code to sign up. Email me to request one or log in with your existing account.
