Basically it's a moodboard that combines a timer, todos, insights, notes, images and links.
'How does that help me learn new things better' you ask?
The challenge with goals - as I see it - is keeping the path from the you of today to the aspirational you (the one that speaks Japanese) clear. January kicks off, a whole bunch of life gets in the way and when you finally get time to focus that path has become a nebulous mess.
The idea with Goals is to be able to open the app and immediately know:
1. What have I achieved so far: insights on hours spent, tasks completed and how close you are to your goal.
2. What do I have to do next: this is your "how". Tasks, links, audio files, notes.
3. Why am I doing this, again? images, media, notes.
The 'Why' doesn't really fit into most methods of learning but I think forgetting this is the biggest point of failure.
I'm going to grab a coffee and get this shipped. I'll post it to Show HN tomorrow and you can see if it's for you.
The concept goal: Learning Japanese! (I've been 'learning' for 3 years now).
