The idea behind the app

Scrolling that leaves you knowing something

Short content sticks when it’s in order, when you’re tested on it, and when it’s about something you chose.

Concept1 of 10

Nobody alive in 476 thought the empire had ended

The textbook date is 4 September 476, when a Germanic officer called Odoacer removed the teenage emperor Romulus Augustulus. Not one contemporary writer describes it as the end of anything.

Odoacer did not take the throne. He packed the imperial regalia into a crate and shipped it to Constantinople.

Why did the Roman Empire fall?
01

A course, in order

Random facts are fun but they don’t add up to much. A course does.

02

Different kinds of card

Some things are clearer as a table, a timeline or a chart, so some cards are.

03

You can see your progress

Cards belong to chapters, chapters belong to a course, and you can see how far through you are.

How it’s different

You choose the topic, the level and how long the course runs. Doomlearning plans the whole curriculum first and then writes the cards, so each one can build on the one before.
